SRC is a Taiwanese manufacturer. Team SD is a US distributor. TSD does not actually make any guns, but does have agreements with certain companies to rebrand their guns under the TSD name.
It's very similar to Echo 1; everybody thinks Echo is a manufacturer. All Echo does is rebrand guns made by JG, A&K and CAW.
Since TSD is the sole importer for SRC, and they support the SRC guns with a 60-day warranty, they are a partner of sorts with SRC and get to share branding on the box with them. TSD reports back to SRC with suggestions on what models might do well in the US, or how to make their products better.
In our opinion, SRC makes very nice guns, and we sell a lot of them. Their price structure is very affordable, generally placed right in between the mid-priced China guns, like JG and Echo, and the high-end Taiwanese guns, like G&G, KWA, and ICS.
TSDTactical is TeamSD's brand name when it re-brands SRC's metal-bodied guns. TSDSports is TeamSD's brand name when it re-brands SRC's plastic-bodied competition series guns, and a few other guns originally made in China.
TSDTactical is the high-end stuff; TSDSports is the mid-priced stuff.
The SRC guns in the TSDSports line, despite having prices in the JG/Echo range, are far better guns than their Chinese counterparts. Any gun made in Taiwan will always have better quality control than anything coming from China.

Here here Todd.
I personally think the Taiwan guns are going to be making a huge affect on the market. Hopefully they will tear the clones to shreds. I'm not a big fan of Chinese stuff, and plan on running a KWA in the near future. Actually, I think Jen will be too.
I'd look at SRC any day, they've been having a really hot year as far as new releases, and QC. Especially when you also consider that the way we get Chinese gear is pretty underhanded and kind of scummy.
SRC definitely has me for when I replace my short AK, they've got a really hot under folder I've had my eye on for awhile.
