You can buy a RIS for the front end buy they are pricey so you might be better off investing in the raider option as for sights, the carrying handle is removable and has a 20mm rail for optics, if your wanting both perhaps the r8-l might suit you

Good gun from G&G. M4's seem to get a bit of a slating because they are common, but they're common because they are excellent all rounds.

Not sure how you attach sights to these.

Im sure there is a way.

ahh right i see, this gun seem ok for a starter then?

No worries

The raider option ( just means comes wih rails)

http://www.proairsoftsupplies.co.uk/acatalog/cm_16_carbine_raider_l_combat_machine_.html

Or the R-8 L ( has tons of rails and a red dot included)

http://www.proairsoftsupplies.co.uk/acatalog/cm16_r8_l.html

At the moment G&G are excellent starter guns that are cheap, reliable and won't leave you outclassed by the opposition

well you could considering hiring and get a feel for the sport before you invest, it'll also give you chance to try out other players guns at the site

pretty spot on that mate, full of information and it has answered a few questions of mine

 

[Mike636]

Happy days, if you've any suggestions or things you'd like to see let me know !

It's a question that no one has asked you and not meaning to be rude but do you have a valid defence?

 

[Zak Da Mack]

I highly doubt it, so he could ever get it two-toned or if Jdizzy is over 18, he could hire a gun for the first 3 games and then buy it in black.

I'm guessing that was suppose to say license? If so then no. Just gathering info for my time to buy one

Yeah that's what I'm going to do, £45 hire walk on all day at my local skirmish

 

[M_P]

There is no licence for airsoft, we have to have a defence against the vcra.

You don't buy it either, you achieve the criteria of 3 skirmishes in 3 months and get registered, usually for a small admin fee. You don't actually pay to get put onto the database.

 

[Dr pepper]

Hey

I think the carry handle comes off it, if it does then you can usually attach a red dot or holographic sight.

GAME. SET. MATCH

^ Also, the carry handle does come off, just needs a bit of force to pull it off

Sorry, I meant £45 per time per skirmish. I know you can't buy one haha
