M4 Platform Boredom

[Guest]

Nuts to all this, if you’re bored with the M4 platform, you know what I’m going to say @Duff......... and it’s not V for Vendetta ??

If you want a retro look, go for a fixed carry handle M16. Looks good, sounds good, tastes good. It's all good.

So as some of you may know already I ran my JG M4 AEG this weekend gone and I have to say I am anything but enamoured with the infamous M4 platform. 

I enjoyed the extra range, something I'm not used to having and I also enjoyed full auto but it just felt... meh after a while. By this I mean I didn't relax into the games as I was constantly dealing with discomfort and awkwardness.

First thing I know I'm changing is the vertical grip. It felt horrible and I found myself holding the mag port on the receiver so a small angled grip will suffice.

Second is the stock, its the M4 style for AK47 and is all kinds of spikey. I may even completely remove the stock as it's front wired.

Can anyone give advice/abuse as to what else I can do to get more enjoyment out of my M4?!

Short of shelving it and moving on to another project I'm in a quandry as to what to do....

There are so many options with AR15s. I suggest you head over to Gunstruction and experiment with barrels and furniture, the possibilities are endless. A couple of examples:

hate to say it but i suggest going simple.

m16 full stock, rear-wire it, fit a light frontend with your choice of magwell/vert grip

it'll make it a much more pointable setup, i hate front-wired guns and folding stocks are kinda useless for airsoft as we aren't climbing in and out of tanks all the time.

+1 - the only downside to rear wired is you can't fit batteries into a CTR or MOE. I just about fit a thin lipo in, and I can't retract the stock.

Personally, I just have a pretty standard setup and.... me gusta

i'm currently running an moe stock and it's fine for a small lipo.

don't really need to retract the stock much anyway

Which lipo are you running? I haven’t found one short enough to fit all the way in retracted.

its a vp 11.1 800mah, i can't fully retract the stock with it in because the wires are sticking out the end of the buffer tube.

Just how short are your arms?

Easiest way to find out is to take him to the pub ?

Obligatory SRU stock and grip post. 

 

[Guest]

Nope, you want a proper one

There's only one M4 we should all aspire to

THE JG THUNDERMAUL!!!

 i think i would like to see this in full black i do like the styling to it reminds me of Aliens but they have done the pulse rifle with count down on the side

 

[gasman]

Looks modern plastic yuk to me. Guns should be metal they always have been plastic is to like a child's toy rather than man toys.

The “A” stock is one one those California legal AR stocks because California has the most bizarre firearms rules. 

I highly doubt that’s an AEG. It’s either real or GBBR.

It is a firearm but just wondered if a similar airsoft stock is available. I'm assuming that most real steel stocks etc have an airsoft equivalent 

 

[Wo1f]

If you had a GBBR you could buy a real one and fit it no problem. The angle would be far to steep and narrow to house a motor for an AEG. You probably won’t find an aftermarket clone version because it isn’t really a military, spec ops Gucci stock. It’s just an ugly result of people wanting an AR-15 in California.
