I would have to warn against the Guarder marketed TK65. Great feeling model with good aesthetics, but the gears are utter garbage.

They're brittle plastic for an AEG which shoots around 380fps stock. The ridicululous bummer is that the gears are proprietary. Sagami motor (same maker as TM motors), really rugged build, and garbage gears and piston not substitutable with TM stuff. I have a small hope that the mechbox parts could be replaced with the two piece ICS box, but in the stock build without a complete gear change the TK65 is just a great model.

In about 30 shots, I stripped the bevel gear and cracked the piston. So I'm stuck with 3x TK65's that I took a gamble with and can't sell because of the crap gears.
