is there any way you can add a metal body, or add a metal body with a flat top? is the range good also? thanks for you help

Yeah, it takes the same accesories as all the other Tm M4 guns, like metal bodies, rail systems, whatever etc... All AEGs shoot about the same range, except when comparing a stock one to an upgraded one, so it has good range, but accuracy at a good range is kind of weak due to the short barrel.
thanks for your help.. i might just get it

I have a 9.6 1700 MAH battery "nunchuck" style for my M4, and I've never run out of juice yet, even on 3-day weekend ops.Originally Posted by bishop1
Then again, spray-n-pray style has never been my bag. But they do make more than 1700 MAH batts that'll work in a M4/M733. The "U" shaped ones from OnlyBatteryPacks.com are nice.
Like this one. 9.6v and 2700 MAH

M733 is an average TM's product.
Some time ago it would mean "very good product".
Now, it's some sort of standard for this particular model:
- main body is very breakable,
- it's more than easy to lose pins that keep both parts of a body together,
- inside gearbox, spur gear likes to lose it's "teeth".
It's just unbelieveable, how TM is degrading.
Ditto except on the losing the pins thing. I've never had that problem.
Xantahis, the battery pack you linked to is a NiMH.
Generally NiMH has higher capacity than NiCd in the same size, but there's a reason why people still use NiCd, NiCd gives almost the same current until they're empty, while NiMh cells drop their current gradually.
Also NiMH usually have higher inner resistance, which means that may give a slower rof than a NiCd of the same size and may have problems with stiffer springs.
Though people generally say that NiMH over 3000mah are fine, I don't know that since I avoid them, but there may be something to it.
A m733 can't take bigger batteries than 1100mah nun-chuck(NiCd, AA size) in the handguard, as they use the slimmer carbine handguards.
The m733 is compact and nice for CQB, though to make it durable and nice I would buy a metal body and metal front set or outer barrel.
EDIT: As said below, NiCd cells have a memory effect that makes them loose capacity if not properly discharged before charged.
I use a microprocessor charger so I takes care of all that for me.
I've never had any problems like that with my NiMH batteries. I love them, I won't buy NiCd anymore... too many problems with memory...
My 733 Review
I have owned my M733 for a bit more than a year. It is an excellent weapon and has served me well. Its size is perfect for CQB and works very well in a woodland setting. Unlike the M4, there is no barrel/handguard wobble. The one I purchased was from UNCompany in Hong Kong, so I have full trademarks and no Orange tip.
As far as batteries go, definitely go with NiMH, You can get a custom battery pack from Gonzo (www.airsoftplayers.com/gonzo), they are fairly expensive (like $50 or so) but are really worth the money, and you would be surprised how much punch you can fit in the hand guard.
There are several downsides to the gun. First of all as Giers said, the body is made of plastic. It is ****e to breaking with heavy use (mine broke after about 6 months and I put in a new G&P metal body kit which was expensive and a pain in the butt). A new plastic body kit is only $55, but its still a pain. The durability is still fairly good on whole, especially the gear box , much better than any Classic Army or ICS I have ever seen.
The whole AR-15 series has problems with pins, for some people, it never becomes an issue, both myself and my squad marksman (who uses a Tokyo Marui M16A2 upgraded) lost the pins on our rifles. If you get a metal body kit they will stay in generally, you can also get locking pins for around $8-$10.
Despite these flaws, I strongly endorse the TM M733 Commando; it has a great look, great feel and functions marvelously. I would buy it again over any other AEG in a heart beat. For more reviews I suggest you go to airsoftplayers.com check out both the reviews section an forums, there is a lot of information there.
If you check ebay, you can get some really good deals on NiMH batteries.
I also had 733 for more than a year, but now i would take CA
1) It is metal
2)Easier to upgrade
3) If You want a shorter barrel like in Commando, buy a special two-piece barrel, you can detach the M4 barrel and have shorter one.

Agreed. I've run the same NiMH for over two years now, and I've never had a problem. I've got an m120 spring internally as well, and my ROF has never waivered, nor have I ever run out of juice.I've never had any problems like that with my NiMH batteries. I love them, I won't buy NiCd anymore... too many problems with memory...
