nightblade117 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) I'm not making a dissipator. I'm making an A2 shorty using the notches for the M4 length gas tube (I'll be using M4 handguards since the JG M733 IIRC uses M4 handguards so it won't be exactly accurate). Like this is what I want to build. The G&P front set is your best bet.I have one and I enjoy it. This how mine looks, only thing I have changed to is a crane stock and pistol grip is back to black.Its year and a half old. I know that PDI offers an outer barrel with the same set up as well.Only thing is you have to go through them to buy it. barrel http://www.x-fire.org/m16/e.m733_outer_725.html pdi's english web site http://www.x-fire.org/e.index.htm Edited January 4, 2008 by nightblade117 Link to post Share on other sites

uscmCorps Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 The G&P front set is your best bet.I have one and I enjoy it. The thing that ticks me off about the G&P barrels is that almost all of them now use 14mm +/CW threads instead of 14mm -/CCW threads. When almost every other major brand out there caters to the 14mm CCW crowd it really sucks having to buy new flashhiders for a single barrel assembly. Link to post Share on other sites
ferris Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yeah. I ended up buying a G&P front set for my G&P body, instead of using my TM front set. I had bought a silencer for my TM barrel, but the silencer wouldn't fit on the new G&P front end. Thankfully a friend bought it from me. Link to post Share on other sites

Kush88 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I took the front sight off, next I may just get a plain RIS handguard and it might be finished. Sgt. Carter: Thanks for the help. I was thinking about ordering from ROSV because it's so cheap, but the shipping just about does it for me. $50 at the cheapest for what I want to get isn't that attractive to me.

CALI SWANGIN Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Heh, I got the same SR16 in today. And I'm working on installing my MUR, but I forgot that I need that darn URX tool to get the rail off... I'll probably make one myself, 'cause there's no way in hell that I'm going to spend 50$ on a simple iron tube I swore to my self to never buy another gun until VFC brings the Knights PDW,but when i saw that nice piece of kit,i just had to place my order for it... ...I was thinking the same ´bout the price...well,i couldnt find anything else as WGC is "Out of Stock" on most of the good parts,so it just got put on my order last night.-What the heck... I´m pretty sure,someone can make the same tool for less-just take a pipe that fits over the barrel(Right diameter), weld some handles on top of it and maschine the notches out of the bottom... @uscmCorps Thanks... I also disslike the 14mm cw threads on the G&P´s.-I just took the FH off my SR-25 URX in order to mount a differend Flashider...well,i will have to use a cw to ccw adapter to mount the one i like.. @Snigel Thanks a lot...go a head-i dont mind it.. Finally...The Big Brother with the small brother...Posing Greetings CALI SWANGIN´ Link to post Share on other sites

BaBaBooey Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 The G&P front set is your best bet.I have one and I enjoy it. This how mine looks, only thing I have changed to is a crane stock and pistol grip is back to black.Its year and a half old. I'm sure you had your reasons for the Crane stock, but I love it the way it is...looks VERY nice!!! Also, G&P body? Hard to tell from the pic, but I REALLY hate the way they can't seem to correct the gap towards the front of the receiver. They should just ditch whatever crappy mold they're using and start over. I'm not sure maybe it's the light... Now don't go ruining it by making it tan, it's the Black Rifle Great work! Link to post Share on other sites
Jsres Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 More pictures! Enjoy! That is one sexy looking gun. did that zombie body require alot of time to put on? Link to post Share on other sites
luvs2shoot Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 jsres that's one of those new G&P zombie killers they retail for 275 at redwolf.... ...yes only 275! considering that it comes with: G&P Zomb killer body G&P stubby killer front end G&P HK416 stock SPR grip front AND rear flip up sights 275 is a steal also, i've seen this in action and it is LOUD and FAST.

MERCILESSPIT Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I got the G&P TA31 ACOG today so I snapped some pics. (all link to 1600 x 1200px images) It also snaps into the carry handle nicely: For those wondering about the reticle (The oranges are about 80-90 feet away): Link to post Share on other sites
chillindrdude Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 nice M16A4....would look better if you had a folding BUIS imo Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt-McKenzie Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 MERCILESSPIT, nice gun. No BUIS for Marines with ACOG. Link to post Share on other sites
MERCILESSPIT Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 MERCILESSPIT, nice gun. No BUIS for Marines with ACOG. Thanks Sgt. Indeed, Marines don't use a BUIS. The ACOG only has about 2.5" to 3" max eye relief so it sits at the far back of the rail anyway. There's no room for a BUIS, not to mention... what good is a BUIS behind an ACOG anyway? You'd have to take the ACOG off to use it. LOL Link to post Share on other sites
srpg Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) if you want a cheaper M-16A2 carbine front set you can try to source a CA M15A2 carbine front. like this one I have. It came with the fatter M4 style hand guards but you can source the thinner carbine type easily in the US Edited January 6, 2008 by srpg Link to post Share on other sites
akman26 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Seeing as I only comment on this thread when an A4 comes up, PITBULL, whats with the OD stock, kinda ugly in my opinion. Oh and is that the A4 body too? Link to post Share on other sites
MERCILESSPIT Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) It's actually a really light grey but it does appear OD in pics. I also got another black one today (King Arms PA66) and just installed it.: (click to enlarge) Edited January 6, 2008 by MERCILESSPIT Link to post Share on other sites
Cam Keo SOC16 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Really makes me want to do a full blown out Marine Corps loadout. May have to do that.... Link to post Share on other sites
Kipper Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) This BUIS sits perfectly underneath the back end of an ACOG, I dont have any pics to prove it, and it dont have my ACOG anymore, but it does. It sits over the long flat bit above the charging hangle too, so shouldnt affect the placement of your ACOG. EDIT: Found pics to show what im talking about Edited January 6, 2008 by Kipper Link to post Share on other sites
MERCILESSPIT Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 There's still no real purpose to that other than to be tacti-'cool' which asserts no emphasis with me. You'd have to remove the ACOG to use it. I can see the practical purpose of one on an M4 co-witnessing with a red dot but not an M16 with a magnifying scope. If looks over-ride practicality, then one may choose to configure a BUIS under an ACOG. Whatever floats the boat I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites
masakarijoe Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 i do it too. the reason is if the acog is knocked out, you still have a way of aiming. when theres that many bullets in the air, you never know what could get hit once again, i ###### this pic... -Joe Link to post Share on other sites
MERCILESSPIT Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Your 16 is sweet Joe! Very nice. Your ACOG is far enough forward to have that BUIS on there, mine is all the way to the back, last slot. Also, the ACOG I have can't 'fail' (the replica one) as it has no power or illumination like the real one. Now, were it the firearm counterpart, I could see a slight reason for the BUIS, but the ACOG would need a QD base, which you can get but they're a tad pricey. Link to post Share on other sites
