I just got this done tonight. It's a prototype I have been working on for a couple of years (on again, off again).

This particular gun was inspired by the 9mm Colt subguns made by Total Silence and similar "tactical" Colt 9mm conversions. Modifications are:

 

Cut-down barrel

Cut-down front sight

Receiver modified by removing brass deflector and forward assist

Warhead 9mm magazine conversion

Real steel brass deflector

Cut-down dust cover

 

I built the upper receiver separately and then mated it to the lower of an A&K M4 with a crane stock.

 

All things considered, it turned out pretty well, but I am not too fond of the gap between the upper and lower. I think I sanded that out a little too much. My test reciever also has a broken tab, which could be part of the problem.

 

Like I said, this is a prototype that I did basically to find out how hard this conversion would be. I am thinking of doing this to as a complete gun with a little bit more care, possibly even trying it with a metal body.

 

How about a 7" free-float RAS and a front flip sight?

Pretty nice! Is that a marui tracer unit I spy there?

 

I must be a stickler and say it'd probably look better with a long barrel and full-length fregrips, rather than M4 lenght ones... Something about eveyone in airsoft using a carbine with a huge silencer as a Sniper/DMR rifle jsut kinda bugs me ;)

Hey, I'm going for a futuristic build for my M4.

Right now I've got the gun and CASV in route, planning on getting a 7.5" (I think) barrel and using a silencer, then having MP7 style sights on the upper rail.

my only problem is that I can't decide what kind of stock to use!

the magpul stocks look like good candidates; functional comfortable and sleek... anyone got any other recommendations?

 

(side note: I just found out that EGLM attach to M4's as well as SCAR, yummy :D)

Very nice. I'm a fan big of those front ends. Which one is that you have?

I'm a fan of the magpul CTR stocks. I've got one on my M4 CASV

A&K S-System used to look like this (was my first aeg mod and gearbox upgrade attempt)

Now v2 (I gave up on the King Arms G27 grip, it just never fit right on the CA lower for me)

Also, few pages back people were interested in fitting 11.1v lipo in the stock tube. I just got one and took some pics. At any rate, you can't collapse the stock fully unless you modify the innards of the stock tube. I decided that I can live with only being able to collapse to the 2nd to last position; and then cover it with a recoil pad. Attached are pictures showing the lipo in A&K's s-system LE 6 position stock and CA 5 Position stock.
