validtumoralarm Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hey guys quick question, I'm putting together a Block II ish rifle and I was trying to figure out what Iron backup sites to use. Any impute is greatly appreciated I've got KAC's on mine as well. I believe an MA-Tech rear is also good to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Agent Hunk Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Looks great Hunk, but a question, what is that long cap in front of the reddot? somekind of protection? is it sold separatly? Thanks Kill-flash. AMP comes with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leon Kennedy Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Here's my plain KWA with a new G&P TD grip thanks to beta! And soon hopefully thanks to Piano Black, it'll start looking like this: At least similar to that. Block II inspired, but I'll add some of my own flair.

CSC Maverick Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Hey guys, although I also have a kwa m4, I'm just posting my TM M16a2 right now, mainly because I need some opinions: I'm thinking of "modernizing" her externally, and want to see if everyone here likes/dislikes the ideas I got in mind . Magpul PTS MOE hand guard to replace the stock hand guard: MagPul PTS MOE M4/M16 Rifle Handguard ( Black ) by: MagPul PTS - I would remove the front sight off my barrel. I would also would never use the bipod; rarely ever use it anyway. Either a full new metal body, with RIS style upper receiver, or just a plastic RIS style upper receiver. This is so I can mount the scope much lower instead of way up on top of the rear sight. I would prefer the metal one obviously, but I dont want to spend as much as a new gun on this project, so I'm thinking about my budget here as well :3. I think I'd prefer the new lower regardless if I go metal or plastic,because iirc my TM did not take M4-Pmags the last time I tried it, and that's something I'm hoping to transition to in the near future. Only my KWA did. Next, the stock. I wasn't sure what I'm doing with this. I'd be fine keeping the stock one, as I'm being conscious of money here. However, if I can afford a newer one,I want the battery to be in the rear in the stock, whether its my 7.2, or a full size nimh battery. I'm fully open to suggestions here. Last but not least, if budget allowed, I'd get a new pistol grip. P.S I would keep all the stock TM parts so I don't lose the value of the gun. Duh.

Duh. first id say figure out how mch you want to spend and what you want the MOST? right now, on Redwolf w/ the sale you can pick up a G&P metal body for 115-120 shipped pending on if they have the one you might like (not sure if want A or B version if going to still use a full stock; so some Q-in here); but it seems thats something you really want. Front ends you can do a lot w/ but do range in $$$ , The MOE isnt bad (not my fav), but is good for the price and w/ the GI sale u'd be picking it up for like 40 bucks as for stocks assuming the 7.2 is a lipo ; you could also pick up a PRS or UBR (granted are 150 or so) and put that in the buffer tube Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shift Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Magpul PTS MOE hand guard to replace the stock hand guard: MagPul PTS MOE M4/M16 Rifle Handguard ( Black ) by: MagPul PTS - I would remove the front sight off my barrel. If you use a drop in hand guard such as that MOE you must have some sort of FSP set up. You could keep the fixed sights, get some fip up gas block sights, a low profile gas block, or a railed gas block. Personally, I'd get a gas block with flip up BUIS. That would help with using the scope but still provide sights. Low profile gas blocks would eliminate any sort of back up sighting system. A railed gas block would allow you to mount sights, but they rarely match up with the RIS of the upper receiver. Personally I also think they look dumb. Either a full new metal body, with RIS style upper receiver, or just a plastic RIS style upper receiver. This is so I can mount the scope much lower instead of way up on top of the rear sight. I would prefer the metal one obviously, but I dont want to spend as much as a new gun on this project, so I'm thinking about my budget here as well :3. I think I'd prefer the new lower regardless if I go metal or plastic,because iirc my TM did not take M4-Pmags the last time I tried it, and that's something I'm hoping to transition to in the near future. Only my KWA did. If you want a new metal body you pretty much have to get a whole receiver set. Most metal body kits out there are meant for one piece hop up designs and would most likely not be a direct fit (metal lower+TM upper/ TM lower+ metal upper). To do this, you'd have to get something such as an ACM kit with two piece hop up design or a KWA set, both of which aren't too easy. I'd still advise getting a whole new receiver set. Correct me if I'm wrong. Edited January 25, 2012 by Shift Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CSC Maverick Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) I am aware Tm's are two piece hopup designs, which does limit my options. TM and KWA are the only two piece designs I know off the top of my head. Anyone know what ACM's are two piece? Also, thank you for reminding me that the FSP is required to mount the handguard. I'll definitely have to look into the alternate FSPs. Edited January 25, 2012 by CSC Maverick Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CSC Maverick Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I don't think I could afford it, but does anyone know if the magpul PTS metal body supports two piece hopup? >.< Realistically though, I'm looking at either a JG metal body, or, if it supports two-piece, a madbull one. Third option would simply be a jg or echo plastic body. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fiddlesticks4220 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) And you cant clear the front sight? Edited January 27, 2012 by fiddlesticks4220 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Agent Hunk Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 It partly obscures the front sight but if I really needed to use them I could. Current red dot only allows for a 1/3 cowitness anyway. If it were a real gun I'd go with a X300 but for airsoft I can manage with it like this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
