WE G17 vs TM G17 parts

[h33t]

I have a WE G17 and i want to know what parts from TM can i use for my WE.

Also, I recently bought this from the classifieds and he said the WE G17 was stock. But there's trademarks on this glock. Can someone else tell me what else here are modded as well? This is my first on a Glock.

Thanks

Theres a bunch of HK Glocks that are all grouped under WE. I believe HK3P made the trademarked ones, whereas WE's official ones don't have trades to avoid the whole Glock suing thing again.
From what I've read they're TM clones, so most parts should be compatible (aside from possible fitment issues due to manufacturing tolerances)

HK3P is the FULLY TRADED WE guns. I have a HK3P Gen 4 Glock 17

the gun is 85% compatible with Marui Parts, Anything above that would require licencing rights from Marui and they dont have this. Thus the whole manufacturing sueing majig thing

parts might need modification etc. I had a picture of my brothers modified HK3P Gen 4 Glock posted in the media section a month ago, it runs a airsoft surgeon Salient Arms G17 Slide. required modification to fit into it aka some filing down and whatnot. other parts im not too sure.

but from what i can tell you, we should all wait for the VFC Glock Series to come out XD (you didnt hear this from me )

So you are saying there are different types of WE G17? In terms of quality, which branch is better?

I've got a VFC, nice trades, the finish is too matte IMO. It has a trigger bar pin which is a very nice touch. It isn't TM compatible, but the mags are.

The WE and the HK3 are identical in construction and material. Only the trades are different.
