I found my King Arms AK-74/AKM style body to be very nicely done. The finish was really though and uniform, and yet not overly thick at all. I had to sand down the insides of the body for the gearbox to fit, same with the hole for the grip.
Also have an Element AK-74/AKM style body on my other AK. Battery tray had fitting issues (not a problem with an ICS bolt, but if you use the battery tray, you will have to do some sanding for it to sit fully forward). Also - there were no holes for the front tangs of the pistol grip, but with a small file, that problem was gone in minutes. Decent for the price.
The metal front end is not required, but makes the AK more solid, realistic, and a hellovalot more heavy. I recommend it. Plus - the King arms front end also has room for a bigger stick battery (if installing on a folding stock/stockless AK).
