The front screw post where the inner frame bolts into the frame near the trigger guard, that post snapped after few shots. The issue is well known and was confirmed by multiple people on TW site as well as other GBB-centric forum like Trader's. The issue is that the TM inner frame is held by the frame at the screw, but also at the front of the inner frame with a feature on the actual frame. Guarder's frame does not have the same support, so all the return to battery impact on the outer barrel, which is trasfer to the inner frame via the hop unit that sits on the inner frame, is held solely via the screw post. If you run a steel slide and 200% spring than like me it might accelerate the process...
I think potentially you maybe able to remedy this(for me will need a new one), is to potty the front of the inner frame such that it'll fit the Guarder frame with more support...As with most cases though, TM's OEM stuff is just better engineered...
