Hello all, first post here. Recently taken up airsoft, but have yet to purchase a gun. I have a (hopefully) fairly simple question - i have tried searching for the answer, but it has been elusive (possibly because i don't know the correct terminology!).
I'm looking at getting some variety of Specna Arms Edge to get me going - from a bit of research, this seems a fair 'middle of the road' choice. Now the point of the post - I like the modern/free float handguard look, and the battery capacity of the crane stock - so am thinking about getting one of those flavours from the Specna range. But I'm also quite keen to create a rough approximation of the classic L119A1, and have the ability to swap between builds using the same base rifle. A XM177 stock+ rubber butt pad, the addition of a triangle front sight, and of course - the removal of the free float handguard, and its replacement with a more classic m4 type front handguard, attached via a delta ring.
My question is this - can a delta ring (to fit a classic M4 handguard) be retro fitted to a specna arms receiver that was originally shipped with a free float handguard? Or perhaps, would it be a better idea to purchase a rifle that comes with the correct(ish!) handgurad and delta ring+ triangle sight (e.g. the specna EO3) - and then, would it be possible to later remove the front sight and retrofit a free float handguard to that?
I'm sure that purists will tell me that there are a million other things to do before i can get something that approaches a L119A1, but i'm not bothered too much about the minor details - all in good time!
