AR15 Variants and Derivitives Picture Thread


Recommended Posts

That's really strange... I have 2 different G&P GBBR uppers and i've never had any sort of compatibility issues - recently using a Madbull Troy TRX tube, previously KA and generic chinese Larue rails, i also once tried an ancient TM M733 front just to see if it fits (and it does). Maybe the bodies are out of G&P spec? I want to get a RS TRX at some point, wonder if that will fit without any issues...

 

 

All I can think of to explain that is you've used the receiver threads a lot? G&P threading is factually slightly larger than TM spec threading to match real steel - So R/S rails will go on a G&P/PTW or similar, but TM specific (Including some of the older Madbull rails and a few others) won't go easily onto a G&P. Sometimes you'll find a TM spec nut will require a lot of force to turn onto the G&P threads as it sort of cuts it's own thread, but generally a lot of TM specified barrel nuts won't go on a G&P.

 

In all honesty though, there will never be a definitive answer on what rail will fit on what receiver; This is airsoft, and manufacturing tolerances aren't exactly razor sharp at the best of times! :P

SLR 8" SBR build done. Just waiting for a few accessories (sling end plate, AAC Blast Shield, Cloud Defensive LCS, and an actual working ScoutLight head) and repairing my BTC Spectre, but otherwise al

Hey all! I kind of stumbled upon this thread by accident while searching for M16A2 receiver markings on google and saw one of Catgut's amazing VT's. Which brought me here I have been working on

One of my latest build, a real Colt M16A1 converted for GBBR on the WA system. Stripped upper, barrel and BCG was changed to Viper Tech du to my local laws. Also a video of how it was made:

You should keep it at Block 1.5

 

I like a lot the look and grip of this build, and I'm not convinced by the RIS II system's out there, maybe with a G&P RIS II, so I'll keep this build for a time :)

 

@frogfish: I agree, so I called this a transition instead a 1.5 build.

Fairly certain the EXPS3-2 is part of the latest accessory kit. Some are calling it Block III.

 

So far, I've seen rifles kitted out with Larue 7" rails, EXPS3-2 in FDE, LA-5/PEQ, Insight WMX200, and Dual Switch. Most are running CTRs and AFGs.

Stl, Beta08, where did you get those gorgeous Opmod XPS's from? They're replica's?

I've once seen them mounted on a rail coupled with an Opmod magnifier... want it so bad.

 

Can you set me on track?

Yessir, they are replicas. I got mine from t-tiger on ASF but I'm afraid I got the last one. However, you can still get them from a few retailers online.
