I have a TM Next-Gen. M4A1 SOCOM (front-wired one), & I'd be very interested to read about your full-length M16 conversion!

I'm loving the M16A2. Is that a G&P AEG?

I've changed the image host, does it load now?

More Cold War goodness. Full credit for this photo goes to Wyvern Photography.

How about some sort of conical muzzle device, like the M9 Flash Hider for the M3 Grease Gun?

Thank you both, Just to let you know I have since got my hands on an original Tokyo Marui rail system, which is the perfect outcome! Now I can shop around for the appropriate KAC-style rail covers, PEQ-2 battery box, & Surefire replica; in order to complete my SOPMOD Block 1 build... All the best, Josh

Hi everybody, Quick question; can anybody recommend a KAC-type rail system that's compatible with the Tokyo Marui M4A1 SOCOM? Ideally, I'm after the same KAC-type rail that comes with the more expensive SOPMOD model: While I appreciate that there's no shortage of these rail systems, I'm looking for one that offers the best fit (no wobble, flex, etc) when mounted on a Tokyo Marui M4A1 SOCOM. I'd appreciate your recommendations, & welcome offers for any spares you might have. With thanks, Josh

Sounds good, @PureSilver. How does it look?

Thank you, both. I think I'll do a little research into how Tokyo Marui attach the suppressor to their MP5SD AEGs. Unless; of course, anybody on here can tell me? @blobface, how difficult is it to accommodate a tracer unit's internals within a conventional AEG suppressor?

Afternoon everybody, I'm debating an MP5SD build (probably Tokyo Marui based), but I'd like to replace the integrated suppressor with a tracer unit instead. I appreciate the tracer should just screw onto the outer barrel in-place of the suppressor supplied with the AEG, but I don't want to compromise the look of the MP5-SD. Does anybody have any recommendations for a full-auto tracer unit that mimics the size & shape of the MP5-SD suppressor, that's also a decent tracer unit? If anybody has done this before, some photos would be very welcome! With thanks, Josh

Awesome, thank you both!

Nice build, Bostitch! Is that a real 'steel' Insight M3, & if so; where on Earth did you find one?

I've done something similar with my TM M4A1 SOCOM, but I used the G&P handguard & stock; which are a drop-in fit: Please forgive the crappy phone photo, this was taken in haste a while ago as proof-of-concept for a friend of mine. Since then I've added a Guarder stock-pad, & I occasionally swap out the carry-handle on favour of an Aimpoint Comp M2 (with a QRP-style mount) & KAC BUIS combination. PS: The barrel mount is for a Surefire 6P repro, but I only tend to use it in CQB or night games...

As I said above, I own one of these & I can confirm that it's based off their M9A1 (which I've also owned); so it uses it's revamped features like the adjustable hop-up & functioning de-cocker! I also owned one of TM's older Berettas (their Samurai Edge Standard Mod); while I'll agree that those were lovely pistols, these new models are a far cry from the originals. Great pistol

Yeah, TM released this non-railed version called the US M9 Military about 18 months ago: http://www.tokyo-marui.co.jp/products/gas/blowback/408 I have one, too - it's probably my favourite in my pistol collection!
