uscmCorps Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 quick question on lipo's which ones featured on ebaybanned.com will fit in the stock tube of a an M4? Don't forget that "fit" is a very relative term. There are so many different manufacturers of buffer/stock tubes out there that some give you more space than others. And there are also variances in both inner diameter space as well as depth. Generally speaking, most buffer tubes have adequate inner diameter but depth is where they truly vary the most. Even with buffer tubes specifically devised to accommodate lipos (both G&P and KA make one), you are generally unable to close off the back of the buffer tube with the included cap as wiring and often plugs get in the way. This means that while using lipos, you more than likely will not be able to fully collapse your carbine stock. On the plus side... not many shooters operate with their stock fully collapsed anyway. And on some stocks, the stock itself is a little longer than the standard carbine stock (like the VLTOR EMOD) so you actually can collapse some stocks. CTRs are great in that, while you may not be able to fully collapse the stock, the rear of the stock has a built in cap so you won't see the wiring inside. Sorry, that was a pretty verbose explanation. Link to post Share on other sites

babybackribs Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) Got some new things. First up, the Shrike: Just waiting on my CTR stock. Magpul sent me the riser, but not the stock. Next, the Vltor. Only 2 things have changed since last time. I'll give you a hint: one of them is the ranger plates for the Pmag's. But what is the other? Look closlier: Gas piston! My ######-poor re-creation of the LWRC system! Made from an SRC HK416 piston assembly. Edited November 4, 2008 by babybackribs Link to post Share on other sites

Optomis Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Got a nice new toy for my VFC 416 today; CA grenade launcher and a Madbull 96 shot shell. Been running around blowing things up since the purchase, lots of fun with the loud bang produced. Link to post Share on other sites
babybackribs Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 whoa... thats cool. so its just a dummy? no function? really cool -Joe It actually has two functions. First is too look cool, second is to keep me entertained when I play with it. Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 What exactly is that supposed to be? A gas piston operating rod? Just fyi, it appears as though its bent...it aint gonna work there buddy. Link to post Share on other sites
babybackribs Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 What exactly is that supposed to be? A gas piston operating rod?

ViciousV10s Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Thats in interesting heat sheild on that M4 dude... i take if you custom made it? It's just a short M4 length M203 shield.

Kiki-Jiki Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Ok, I'll probably sound like an idiot, but what exactly does the AR piston do? I don't know much about real steel, but don't AR's usually have a gas tube there? Is the piston a replacement/upgrade or something? Link to post Share on other sites
babybackribs Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 so how do you "play" with it? -Joe I move it back and forth when I'm bored. Link to post Share on other sites
Roecar Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 A gas piston replaces the gas system by using said piston system to cycle the chamber. A gas system does the same thing but directing gas from a fired round directly into the chamber. Its a far more reliable system and easier to maintain (I think). Google the HK 416, HK pioneered the system for special forces. Ok, I'll probably sound like an idiot, but what exactly does the AR piston do?

masakarijoe Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) its cleaner. instead of blowing hot carbon gasses into the chamber, and getting the bolt and ammunition dirty, it pushes a pistol, and that operates the bolt. a cleaner more reliable system. ribs: thats what i mean... how do you do that? its underneath the rail... im sorry, i dont understand! sorry for the off-topic-ness anyway, arnie-o: as stated by v10, it is actually a real-steel m203 handguard, made by bushmaster. i love it. V10: that picture of yours was my wallpaper, and avatar for the longest time. it was my inspiration! -Joe Edited November 5, 2008 by masakarijoe Link to post Share on other sites

Okay HK did not pioneer it at all...... for heavens sake, m1 garands are piston operated, its not the holy grail people And sorry for going off on tangent, but we are not starting this argument here, you will find plenty of info in off topic, search for something like "HK416 am teh sechs" and you should find enough bs to wet your whistle.

Victory Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) The gas pistons are available at Evike for about $30 shipped. Bought one for my project a couple weeks ago. -Vic Edit: To avoid the flood of PMs (thanks to Evike's 1337 search engine): http://www.airsoftpost.com/sr516-series-p-30058.html Edit 2: Also, BabyBackRibs, how did you manage to install yours straight? The only way I figure it'd work with my setup, is to have it crooked. Which is pretty unrealistic, as others have pointed out. Edited November 6, 2008 by Victory Link to post Share on other sites
