Life's certainly much easier with a plastic handguard on a SOCOM, but there are a fair few options out there for handguards that'll fit a nun-chuck 7.4v in the range of 1000 to 1300mah. Ironically it's often easier with some of the newer, low profile forends because quad rails tend to have a lot of extra architecture inside which makes things awkward.

Here's mine as they were:





Currently all in the middle of getting re-worked. Probably about 80% done now, just waiting on a delivery to get the stock and handguard for the 12.5" and I'll need to order another front MBUS for the 14.5" since I've banished both of the King Arms VLTOR gas blocks which incorporated flip-up irons.

 
Pff.. er.. not really thought about it. Rarely get the time to write up sales threads and with a big stack of stuff already waiting to go I tend to keep AR parts which might be useful for future builds.

Not a rare component or anything, WGC have the G&P versions and hk-parts + scopeandlaser have the King Arms in stock.

 
Here are a few pics of my G&P M4 LWA Suppressor (Madbull Spikes Tactical). It has lots of internal upgrades, it sounds lovely, has great range and an insane rate of fire. I have added a Madbull ACE Socom stock, surefire scout 600 flashlight, PTS Gas pedal, Magpul angled foregrip, Magpul sling mount, Magpul mag coupler and a Trijicon X4 Acog illuminated sight What do people think ?

Sorry about the poor picture quality

Not bad! Personally I prefer the more simplistic skeleton-style-stock design as opposed to the SOCOM one. ACOG is nice too, probably getting one for my M4 as well. Internally sounds great but I don't like 12" RIS. (Just a personal thing I don't like the look of it on any gun)

So for my birthday I was blessed with a WE Glock 17 Gen 4 aswell as a bunch of RA Tech internals ^-^

I couldn't be happier with it for a first gbb sidearm. Although, i get very bored with the externals easily. And with no money, I spend alot of time tinkering with it in the workshop or laser engraving it!

Here she is day one:

Holy sh*t Ian that looks amazing. Looks very authentic,looks far,far better than the awful Chinese Yellow wood. Your job on the bakelite mag is some of the best I've seen too.

Can't say much more. It looks like a Real AK. Do you plan on going for a bakelite style paintjob on the pistol grip?

 
Yeah I'm pleased with it in the main. There's a couple of bits that need a touch up, which is a ball ache because the method...

I used a homebrew mix of acetone and dichloromethane on 0000 steel wool to strip it and prep the surface, but some bits needed a bit of fine sand paper to get the surface porous enough to accept the water based stain, particularly the gas tube cover. The stain itself is called Van Dyke crystals - apparently it's made from burnt walnut shells and it's well cheap. You can mix it in hot water but I just put a bit more volume of water to crystals in a tray and left it overnight to dissolve, because I knew I wanted it very dark. I used a 5mm paintbrush to put it on with a bit of irregularity and blend and Humbrol satin varnish spray. In needs another couple of layers of varnish to finish it properly, but as I say there's a couple of bits that need a redo...

I was just putting it back together after changing the inner barrel to the new Falcon 6.03x455mm that arrived this am and... the fucking MOSFET burnt out! ARSEHOLE! It's definitely not my fault though - I've gone over the wiring with a magnifying glass and there's no break in the insulation so I've fired off an email to the supplier V^^Vgrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

 
I think I'm going to buy a bakelite effect grip because it will be a right pain trying to get the effect with diluted cheapo wood varnish (which is the effect on the mag).
