OK, so the plastic body on my much beloved marui M16VN has broken on me, irreparibly (every point that takes a body pin or any stress has cracked off)

this leaves me with a prefectly working stock, barrel and V2 gearbox + motor/grip

so I will be making use of this opportunity to create the most awesome armalite the world has ever seen....

as such:

THIS is my reciever of choice

anything similar would be appreciated (vampires and such would be cool - no marines/blackwater/SEALs)

I would like some assitance finding a front end though:

Standard M16 length barrel

ideally RIS, but definatly NOT a stock foregrip thing

If RIS, a numbering system would be appreciated

delta rings and things MUST be included

doesn't need a flash hider As I'll be buying an awesome one instead

£100 upper limit £130 for something special

Flash hider, pick an awesome flash hider with 14mmCCW threads and post a pic £40 STRICT limit on that and as 'undiggy' (woodland players will know what I mean) as possible.

Winner gets the flash hider on my rifle

it's a lot to read, thanks if you did though

any help like usual is appreciated

cheers

Dave

 
you will be lucky to get a RIS cheap for an M16 :P ,

http://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/clas...ris-set-for-m16

the body alone will set you back ~ £50

delta rings are cheap as long you look for the correct type! (has the teeth)

You would also need a new Hop-up as the one you have is a 2 piece, i think you will have trouble fitting the TM type barrel.

IMHO your better off getting a JG ABS body for like £20 they are still about..........somewhere.

nope, got a full M4 unit on it, completely normal M16 style.

Body I picked is £75+importing from HK

front ends from the same place are around the £100-150 mark

for general use:

G&P SR15 URX Front End is almost perfect for the front end I am looking for

Sorry tad confused, thought you woulded the whole lot for £100,

And m4 style you mean M4 front end? you wanted an M16 length barrel :S

 
nope, M4/16 style full hop up unit

and as long as I have 4 figures left in my bank account when I'm done and I get a rifle I am truly attatched to, then I will be happy.

You CAN just go and buy a rifle off a shelf and match EVERYONE else's gun on the field.

OR you can spend a bit more, do it yourself, have exactly what you want and have the know how to fix or replace broken parts

best armalite ever eh.....

get petrol

poor over

light

job done

or spray bright yellow smiley faces all and stick flower in barrel over it

 
lukey, that isn't fair, how can ANYONE choose between those D:

and let's try and keep this vaguely helpfull for me, bigshep

 
on topic..ok...nothing to add the as don't like 'em, apart from bog standard nam m16's

 
I second what bigshep suggested!

On topic - The zombie hunter one looks great, although there are a few other 'comic' ones avaliable.

My favourite is a 'religious' one ('miracle', 'devine intervention', 'second coming of the Lord') which has really nice typography (really old scroll-like text).

G&P frame IRRC.

At some point the future, ICS will release their FNC and FAL - which (the orrigional design from last year anyway) had the screw-thread you were after. The FNC one looks very nice

 
well it was (kinda still is) a bog standard M16 Vietnam

and hugh, if you can find that religious one, it'd be appreicated/point me in the right direction

 
This is my current list

£45 shipping ontop of that, so now it is just scouring the webs to see if I can get it all from 1/2 sources for less than £260 (which Is what i spent last thursday on an MP5 :P )

If you do order from HK and are going for that many things (especially from one place), it might not be a bad idea to make sure you're UKARA is included as it could look like you're trying to manufacture a RIF.

I know the feeling.. <_<

I think you just send the place your buying from an email asking them to display your UKARA number on the outside like you said. Check with Dev he would know.

 
Best bet is to email them Dave (I can't tell you precisely), they're likely dealing with it every day and will let you know what they require/what they will do.
