Armalite Picture Thread


Recommended Posts

so chris uses the SR16 with no ambi controls?

 

I thought I saw on a picture he had an ambi safety, but maybe i'm just crazy, it's not like I don't sit there staring at his rifle figuring every part of his rifle out... I also swore he had a magpul lower reciever

The beauty of RS parts is that ambi controls can be used with ease. A default AEG SR16 generally, doesn't have ambi controls. Costa's SR16 does have an ambi selector (as does my SR16 GBB). His ambi bolt release appears to be a unique device being developed by Magpul. Not sure about the mag release... I'll have to check the DVD again for that.

UscmCorps is correct about the ambi bolt release. It is dubbed as the B.A.D. No really use in airsoft unless you have an aeg that has a working and functional bolt release, such as ptw, tm m4 sopmod, etc.

I think it would also be useful for anyone using GBB M4s. The overall functions on a GBB M4 is much more similar to a RS AR than any AEG. The Battery Assist Device would be very helpful for a GBB AR.

 

Regarding the lower receiver, I just reconfirmed that Costa uses a SR16 upper and lower. In some interviews on the DVDs you can tell he's since changed the receiver to a Magpul one, but he's also changed the overall layout of the gun too and it no longer looks anything like the Costa gun that I'm trying to replicate. Also, I don't believe the Magpul PTS lower receiver is compatible with ambi selector controls which is (as of this posting) still exclusive to the VFC platform (although a few AEG's like the TopTech and new TM M4s appear to have the potential of that functionality).

Yea, I keep forgetting about those as I have Escort GBB on the mind. The Battery Assist Device is well one badas*, inventive idea to ARs :D

Anyone have any pictures of the G&P Slim Rail Covers on an M4 (or variant) or know if they look anything like Magpul's Ladder-style rail covers when on a gun?

 

I've got an identical set made by another company though G&P seems to merely rename gear. I love them more than the my original Magpul rail covers and XTM panels. They're so comfortable in addition to how well the Predator fits in my hand. Buddy has since put my extra on his AEG over the real Magpul gear too. Chock this up as one of the few instances I prefer airsoft stuff over real steel plastic. Granted, I don't know how the would hold up to a smoking barrel... Also, feel free to take a knife to them to make them the perfect length.

 

Anyhow... as requested:

These are one of a few parts I have not replaced and do not intend to. If you would like more photos, you can see em all here.

Okay, thanks for all of your help uscmCorps and others.

 

I think I will put the Costa project on hold and save that for a later date and start with a VFC SR16. Until then, are there any other guns (preferably Costa or Haley) that I can replicate accurately with an M4 without having to buy any front sets, etc.?

 

Thanks!

unfortunately not. Both those guys all use rails on their guns.... It's part of the magpul modularity mindset

I'm Thinking of building an Airforce GUU-5P with "Modern" inspiration of a spotter in a Sniper team :P

 

It will include ACOG, PEQ, M203, And RIS of course. as Said its going to be "Modern" and maybe I'll do an oldskool later.

 

EDIT: will this fit my CA M15A4 sportline?

It'll fit but you'll probably need a new D-ring. I know when I tryed fitting a CA front end to a G&P body it wouldnt fit.
