Let me get this straight. You wanna swap bodies?

I would need to see some pics first. I mean I need to see what sort of body I'm likely to get.thats fair yeah.

Course when you see mine you may not be so keen but remember you will be getting a well experience and run in body. I'm taking bit of a chance on yours. I'll look at pics but cant promise anything.??

Regards

NO - just NO

You got a working HB & you want to fuck about with it, changing bodies coz you want a short PDW type gun ???

NO - just NOPE to if it ain't broke on the HB

I'd consider buying the CCR at a cheap price and service/tweak it to get it running right

Personally I actually wouldn't coz I don't like it, I'd go for a D-Boys PDW perhaps

(metal version not plastic one)

comes with a medium motor, but change grip & use a std long motor type maybe - but need the peq box to limit battery options but so does the CCR restrict battery options too

(it's always a bit of a trade off with these dinky guns & folding stocks)

Nah - tbh I'd go for a cqb FireHawk type with a stubby fixed stock

unless you are looking at it like a sniper's sidearm

which you could just say fuck it get a mp5k

ahhh - screw it, horses for courses, but get what you like

Not a fan of the CCR as said - though if the price is right

then it could be worth buying to mess with and/or use for spares if HB starts to need some TLC at some point

But I'd refrain from messing about with the HB

if it ain't broke don't try to fix it on the working HB

that's my 2 cents as you described it I think

He was asking €70 for it, although from what he told me he's keeping it to build a custom gun.

Meh.

Anyway, I need an M4 platform that is as compact and lightweight as possible, I wanted to achieve it without buying a new gun (or spending as little as possible because it's going to be thrown left and right, so no fancy stuff).

I wanted to keep my HB's gearbox because it runs smooth, has good air seal and with the barrel/hop combination I have it gives me the right energy output (0.9J), paired with a new motor (SHS HT) I can get a snappity snap trigger response, decent ROF on stock gears and 11.1.

At this point, without diving into endless alignment problems by swapping receivers, I reckon I could create my own CCR style gun by buying the Amoeba folding stock (€31) and having a small homemade peq box to house the battery on top of the receiver, I use irons anyway so rail space is not an issue. Will keep it rear wired (by drilling a hole through the stock mounting plate) so when I get bored I can install the original stock without taking everything apart.

I've considered a PDW, but the polymer one to save weight. From what I've seen it's a waste of money and the metal ones are just too heavy for what I have in mind.

I might even get the drill out and shave weight off the entire thing by randomly drilling shit out.

Doesn't have to be pretty, it needs to be practical.

This is its current form (bar the grip, which I have swapped with a thinner but slightly longer one)

I'd lose that pink femme fatale rear sight

What you are after is a tough one...

You basically want a M4 pistol type PDW with folding stock perhaps

But do you wanna fuck about with a working HB

Or

Just chuck something together

Bit of a conundrum

You are correct about one thing though...

It doesn't have to be pretty - that FF sight...

JEEEEEEZ I guess you got it free

(Don't tell me you bought it)

I'd be tempted to buy a cheap CM.517, rip the stock off, chop the front down and run with that. Pick up a folding M4 stock if you see one going cheap at some point maybe

But I'd try to keep the HB as it is without girly sights n stuff

Or sell it and buy/build something specifically what you desire to your custom bespoke spec

Hmmm, yeah I'd consider a cheap donor gun, slap on a very cheap 4 inch outer ris barrel or something

Or look out for a boneyard FireHawk and slap a folding stock on that maybe

Or a CM.517 and chop it up to bits

Meh.

Scrapped the idea.

it is actually a ForceCore AEG, the gearbox for some reason has a bit off the top - well the front on top if you look

iu


So you have to be careful radius-ing the top corners only slightly as a little less material up there

fuck knows why they do this ???

8mm bearings - yeah maybe change for a few bushings under gears

Metal rack piston, metal o-ring nozzle but is a short M4 nozzle, think about 20.75mm

The nozzle & hop work together but nozzle has no "shoulder" like most other nozzles & if you try a shouldered nozzle or reg shs M4 nozzle, the shoulder doesn't fit into hop

So if you change nozzle, you need to change hop

or if change hop then change nozzle as it is a bit short for normal M4 hops

Cheap Metal M4 aeg's not bad, quality isn't top notch but a lot bang for your buck considering you was looking at 34 Euro's for the folding stock

AY = ForceCore AEG's if you want to look into it

Could be worth considering for project - just to tweak and show your friend with the Ares how it should run

Or forget about it & be content with what you got
