CCP with CCC forend: MP4K

Echigoya's California shop should have it first; not exactly cheap though.

Yes! This is pretty much gonna be me next weekend on the boat: The prop armorer added a stubby buffer tube to the movie gun so a full auto bolt would work. An MP5K would have been the logical choice, but the CCP is lighter and I can use my regular M4 rig and midcaps. I like the plastic body, trigger electronics, and quick change spring. Only negatives are that my 11.1 batteries just barely fit, the slight side-to-side play in the battery cover "plug", and the clockwise barrel threading.

Speaking of molestering: Ares CCP, set up for a low light naval OP.

FMA LA-5C/PEQ green "upgrade version", Element/Night Evolution WMX200 (laser engraved version) Parts list here: http://arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/197001-ar15-variants-and-derivitives-picture-thread/page-314&do=findComment&comment=2735877

Custom spring breacher and Marui version

Here's the one I'm using: http://www.wgcshop.com/wgc2008/main/product_detail1.php?search_From=category&item=VFC-RST-300M-TN01&search=category&rs=Rear%20Sights&catid=1&cat=&view_choice=a It's got a good sized aperture, maybe 5mm. Unfortunately, I don't think KAC ever made a 300M tan rear sight.

I posted some first impressions here in the news thread; I'm not familiar with the PTS cans though. It's a little overpriced--especially since it's solid, unengraved, and all I really wanted was the flash hider--but well made. I'm sure Element will make a more affordable one eventually (hollow with full trades please). Thanks, that means a lot! It's gone from a spare rifle to my favorite rifle to my ONLY rifle, so I may have gone a little overboard at times. Switching from block II to the "2.5" style was particularly painful, but it's a lot easier to build one now that some decent parts have finally come to the market. Here are some of my externals: VFC gen 1 SOPMOD stock: Lots of other stocks are more commonly seen on real CQBRs, but I'm not giving up my big battery or FCU, so I need the space. VFC 300M rear sight and painted front sight: These are currently way off base. The most "correct" front sight would be nothing, followed closely by the KAC 99051-T. The rear should be a Matech but I don't have any that aren't broken. RS teardrop forward assist and extended CH latch: Cheap and easy enough to adapt to an AEG. I might pick up a PRI combat latch someday. FMA LA-5C/PEQ "upgrade version": The standard unit seems more common than the UHP, but this has several cosmetic improvements over the other available LA-5s. Plus, I don't always use lasers, but when I do, I prefer green ones. My old LA-5 was just a modded battery box. Element/Night Evolution WMX200 (laser engraved version): A major upgrade from the Beta Project, especially since I don't care about the swivel mount. It comes with a pretty good replica of the Insight pressure switch that fits well in a TangoDown BGV-ITI. Insight dual button remote: Really nice, but frankly overkill since the $10 Element replica plugs right in, and looks fine if you squint. Modifying the LA-5 to accept this was a big pain, and modifying one of the plugs to a fit the WMX200 was a huge pain. Yes, I ruined a $220 part to adapt it to a toy flashlight--don't we do this type of stuff all the time? STAR Hogue style motor grip: An A1 is probably a better choice, but I wanted a change. It's more homage than replica. The next step will be more painting and weathering--these new parts look way too fresh.

New can and flash hider!

Updated the accessories on my CQBR while I wait for the SOCOM 556-RC to arrive: How many times will it be "finished"?

Flat hop performance is much more dependent upon mods than what brand of parts.

They don't really have a site, but Toysoldier sells their stuff in small batches. The momentary switch is a big improvement.

Kimplacustom makes some cosmetic upgrades for the Element LA-5:

There shouldn't be knurling on the can, but it's just a stock Marui tracer unit with a custom base.
