Based on the pic, it looks like it is the AGM or UTG but dont quote me on that because I have not seen either before in the flesh. This would be a question for 2nd Bat.

The TSD has a number of subtle but significant differences from both the AGM and UTG versions. These Chinese clones may share some production parts but each has enough small differences in trim and configuartions to be truly seperate offerings. In addition they all have consistent performance differences right out of the box. All shoot somewhat harder then the stock Marui but the AGM is consistently the hardest shooting of the Clone M-14s. They have averaged 330 FPs with .20 gram while the UTG and TSDs consistently shoot at around 310. The wiring harness is nicer in the TSD and Kart offerings while the UTG and AGM use thinner wire. The AGM has a more authentically finished butt plate then the TSD , UTG and KART which have a smooth trap door. These details are only noticeable for folks considering the Garand conversion where the butt plate flap is removed and the trap door details become apparent. I replaced the butt plate altogether with an actual Garand butt plate in that event although the downside is you have uncscrew and remove the butt plate to remove the battery since the garand trap door isn't big enough to slip it through.

My friend bought the UTG m14, and i was a bit displeased with the quality. From warnings stamped into the stock, to MADE IN CHINA on the reciever. I also have found that in the field his trigger fails often. The plastic piece that connects the circut tends to pop up and then j ust clicks, never completing the circut. Its an easy fix, though with the UTG you have to remove a screw on the gas cylinder, and field strip the gun to get to the problem. Infact while fixing it we lost the screw on the gas cylinder. a rather poor design. On the DE gun this piece is also metal. -Cary
