Probably be cheaper too. I've had the idea, but then I realized I'd have to do some major work to fit the battery and IDK if the handguards would have to be modified as well so I dropped the idea.
To be honest I just want a kit that doesn't come cracked stock. I've held the ICS at a local store and it felt strong enough for airsoft purposes and was in one piece at least lol.
Yeah the wood isn't the greatest, you can't tell in that pic but on the opposite side of the stock there's a huge crack that runs more or less the length of the whole stock. I'm thinking of changing it out with a ICS wood kit.
Three Armalites:
CA M15A4 RIS Carbine w/ ICS PEQ-4 Battery Box (Stock internals) and a CA M15A4 Carbine (400 FPS Internals)
Star M4A1, stock externals, beauty in simplicity....
