Arcmentus Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Hello, I have a G&P Magpul m4 and I want to get a railed front end that links up to the railed receiver as I've bought a eotech 552 and a eotech 3x magnifier and tbh its a very tight squeeze. I'm unsure as to which front end will work well with the gun. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Avenger96 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 The easiest solution may be to use a normal RIS and a riser on the optic. Nice setup by the way, I like a flip up magnifier. Link to post Share on other sites
Arcmentus Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I have been looking at http://www.landwarriorairsoft.com/acatalog/Magpul-PTS-Ergo-Z-Free-Float-Rail-EB_FL011490300.html#.UFnzU7KPUrw but im unsure about how it would hold my battery never changed front ends before :\ This is how my setup is atm Link to post Share on other sites

Arcmentus Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 The eotech is ontop of the delta ring :\ Link to post Share on other sites
mimesis Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 There are a couple of issues here. Your gun is front-wired. Virtually no RIS are designed to hold batteries. With the new very flat lipos, however, a few more can serve. The easiest one is probably the CASV. Others that have a pretty open end at the front may work, depending on the exact profile of the battery. Or... you get a PEQ that serves as a battery box... or... you rewire the gun to the rear, and use a stock tube battery. Other issue. Threads on G&P receiver. They're imperial, not metric. In theory, only G&P barrel nuts (mounting nuts for the RIS) will work without modification. Some other ACM nuts may... or may not. Link to post Share on other sites
Inari Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 As above. There's going to be a lot more work in this than you have thus far imagined. It's not that big a deal though. Madbull delta ring modification tool to rethread your receiver, whatever RIS/RAS kit you want, either use a PEQ battery box or rear wire the gun. I'd recommend something akin to the daniel defense lite kits, due to their stability (i.e. complete lack of wobble), as opposed to the delta ring mounted RIS kits, which are pretty lame Link to post Share on other sites
