TeowneD Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Latest project, almost finished externally just awaiting something special im picking up next week Still need to improve my internals Im not sure how, but my camera decided to go all 90's on me too hey dude, sweet looking classic carbine. What brand and type of barrel is that? i've always wanted a 16" classic style barrel without the the m203 "mounting slots" ( I've got no idea what they're called). -brendan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know G&P made a 16" barrel and called it the M16A2 Shorty. G&P also has an M653 which is actually a fairly good replica - it has the 6 hole slim hand guards, flat slip ring, and the handguard cap without the cut outs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As BaBa said, G&P is your best option, they make a proper 16" barrel which I will hopefully get once I get the monies! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Noveske Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I know it's been a while since I posted anything as I've been too busy with life outside of airsoft (I know most of you will scoff at the idea of the existence of any life outside of airsoft, lol). That said, it's time to get back on track. Picked up a VFC SR16E3IWS the other day as a base gun for a project in the works. I know, it's an AEG, but this time round, I'm looking for something reliable and fit for skirmishing locally (most people skirmish here with AEGs). Brought her home and the first things to go (Knowing me) were the grip & stock. Here's her current state (for now). There are big plans for her: 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That 653 one is pretty nice, I might consider that one, I just wished they would sell the barrel alone without all that handguard stuff. @'huntER_HuntED, if you dont mind, could I trouble you for the link of the retailer where you got your barrel, i'd like to take into account all my options before buying. -brendan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G&P also has an M653 which is actually a fairly good replica - it has the 6 hole slim hand guards, flat slip ring, and the handguard cap without the cut outs. The problem with the G&P "M653" is that it has an A2 receiver, and a 14.5" barrel, which is technically an M723. Not really a problem, but G&P seem to be a bit confused about Colt's naming conventions. All A2 based weapons have a model 7xx number, much like the A1 based systems have a 6xx number, so the presence of an A2 lower means it definately aint a 653 I still want one though! The image above actually has an A1 style upper, but I have seen 723s with both styles. Edited August 23, 2011 by CHIFF_MoA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also you can get G&P's M653 Barrel on its own, although it is around $70 i think ( look up airsoft global, I think they have them) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You'll probably be able to sell it easily as I understand they're hard to get individually. I bought that front end just for the barrel and was able to sell the all the other parts here on this forum in a few days.

As far as I know, Colt M653 had 14.5" barrels (based on this link). Also, that G&P replica looks like it has an M16A1 lower (except for very minor differences like the roll marks, port door, etc.)?

Yes, the 14.5" barrel is correct, sorry I was mentioning it in response to the poster above that mentioned 16" barrels. If you look at the pics of the lower receiver on ehobby you can see it is Marked M16A2... and it has an A2 upper. *edit* It also has the later reinforced buttstock, though I'm not sure when that was introduced.

I don't think G&P listed on eHobby was made like that by G&P - I'm guessing it's something eHobby assembled from various G&P parts? Or they made an error on the product name? Not sure. I think the fiberlite stocks appeared with the 700 carbines? Before that, it looks like they were all metal with 2 position extensions and spanner nuts. It's my understanding that 4 position extensions and castle nut started with the M4. Edited August 24, 2011 by BaBaBooey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PianoBlack Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 My apologies for the poor image quality, but figured I'd post up a picture of the SR47 as it was prior to being sent to Polarstar for conversion earlier in the month. The VFC SCAR-H flash-hider came in earlier this week and I'll be running KAC flip down 300m iron sights on it. -Piano 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Leon Kennedy Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 New magnifier. Makes me want another EOTech but after my bad experience with the G&P and the high price of a Hurricane, I don't know what to get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Miles Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Here is my just about finished Block I CQBR build. All I really need is a BUIS, I am thinking a #40 Arms? Should I dust the accessories with some paint? I think so and then use some acetone is wear it down just a bit so it doesn't look so clean. Anywho, M4 CQBR -Replica PEQ-2 -Knights Rail Cover set and Foregrip -Trijicon Reflex Sight Replica (awesome replica by the way) -Surefire M951 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carter Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 does anyone make a replica Daniel Defense FSP? I've been liking that look a lot lately but don't want to go with an MRE as the bottom rail isn't continuous (I think...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 The MRE is not a continuous lower. But, you can take SR25 RAS and cut it to match the front sight post, but not cut the lower. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carter Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Eh, if no replica FSP is available, I'd prefer to just take one for the team and use the MRE than start chopping other units. I'll keep that suggestion in mind though, thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Noveske Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 KAC URX3. Not completely finished on the accessories yet, but for the most part. Still deciding whether to keep her black or paint her FDE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
