aftermarket is not necessarily better. there were a number of aftermarket parts brands for WE but so far everything was junk even if it was precision machined and colored crazy colors (not sure about the adjustable fps system yet though, i'm praying that worked out). internally, the WE is pretty rock solid and even tricky things like spring strength was worked out before they left the factory so they don't require replacement.
the only worthwhile replacement parts are ones that have been updated by WE itself like the hop rubber, barrel, charging handle etc. and just about any part of the gun can be purchased separately from a number of retailers. externally i think i saw a bunch of custom length barrels (though the original is convertible from 14.5-10") and whatnot, the rest is as customizable as any other m4 being that it takes anything a tm barrel nut can and whatever rails and a mil stock tube can handle.
who needs aftermarket if things are under control? i'd much rather the manufacturer has their shit figured out and updates when necessary than have mistakes accumulate over multiple companies and generations of original gun.
also, just a note, i LOVE the receiver on the WE. it's nicer than any other airsoft m4 i've ever seen. nice crisp trades and lovely durable finish. nicer than the inokatsu, more realistic than the g&p.
