Decent after a paint job, but I had to reinforce everything inside by some aluminium rails and putty.
But, to be fair, I would not jump on it as it is a cheap plastic (even cheaper than the S&T Tavor...)
I lost the single/auto capability as the original plastic gearbox was replaced as well as the electric switch that was replaced by an electronic push style contactor. It shoots only auto but I will try to find a solution with a mofset.

Yes, yes and yes.

@CapnNukem: Well a lot of work before the first firing tests:
The nozzle of the P90 gearbox had to be inverted from the original upper position to a down position (see pic below) , then the tappet plate has been modified accordingly (reduction of high).
Then the new metal gearbox had to be locked into its place with long screws (replacing the screw used to close the gearbox) and position had to be adjusted with a number of bolts (the aim was to place the gearbox right in the middle of the available space, exactly in the axis of the hop-up system), the buttplate had to be opened in order to allow sufficient space for the motor (then a buttplate cover in plastic has been used to hide this modification). The internal had to be strengthen with aluminium squared tube and bondo material in the front and in the grip. Of course the internal barrel had to be changed by a real airsoft precision barrel. Hop-up is proprietary and has not been changed in order not to modify the mag retention system. The electric firing system had been replaced by an electronic contactor.
And finally a paint job has been done.
Most of my time was dedicated in the opening and closing of the replica in order to find the good position of the newly installed gearbox.
But once found, it is quite nice to use this little thing.
@MarsdenH: I think the original all plastic gearbox is proprietary.
Here is a (bad) pic of the metal P90 gearbox (left) and the *suitcasey* original plastic gearbox (right)
@talon_0315: the mag release mecanism is similar to a M4 system but on the left side of the replica and on the right side you can find a moving hop-up selector for the adjustment.

@ Blobface: Yes you've got it. It was a Blackviper in clear plastic.
The only advantage was the price.
All internal have been changed by standard material (I mean metal, reliable and strong enough to support our hobby): Gearbox, hop-up bloc, hop-up, precision barrell, replacement of plastic parts by metal such as sights (F&R), installation of a red-dot and grenade launcher to add some weight and a paint work (inside and outside).
Now this replica is working fine, the only outstanding issue is the weight feeling in your hands, still on the light side.
I will surely not treat this replica as I do with my LCTs, E&Ls, VFCs or NPOs

Well, after some difficulties (slide difficult to go back to its original position) and some harsh solutions applied (mainly oil and strong manipulation), everyting went back to order and it is still working fine. Therefore nothing special to report on the Bell.
