Are Galaxy and TM MP5K parts compatible/interchangeable?

[Longshot]

As much as I love the internal quality of TM products the collecter in me just loves the metal more.

I'm picking up a TM MP5K PDW and I'm wondering whether it would be possible to stick a Galaxy metal upper reciever on it? Are Galaxy MP5Ks a copy of TM ones in the same way that AA Glocks are a copy of the TM ones?

If the answer is 'yes,' how difficult a job would it be?

Cheers in advance.

Well that will teach me to assume won't it!

Now I look back at some threads I can see that you are right, of course. I've only ever seen pictures of the Galaxy and for some reason just assumed it was a nice bit of Chinese pot metal on the upper reciever. I think it's the metal-looking welding near the rear sight that did it.

Never mind then. Given how expensive the CAs are I won't imagine I'll come across someone selling the reciever cheap any time soon.

Say I did though? Would CA and TM be compatible?
