echo 1 and dboys the same??

i had a local shop try to tell me this, i think just to make money is this true before i buy this m203 that i am looking at

As far as an m203 goes, it won't really matter. There aren't really any parts to break on an m203 tube, so there really won't be much difference. Not sure what shop you are referring to, but I must say, do what you can to support local shops.

That's not exactly accurate, The echo1 M203's are oem'd by the same company. Their external parts do break easier than a more expensive brand such as CA, King Arms, etc. Plus they are not as compatible with certain Shells. The echo or Dboys love Madbull shells, but do not work at all with CAW or pro arms shells. Hope that helps.
