From these 7 options of ladder covers, panel covers, grip, mag and stock options, which one looks the most "tacticool", out of these 7, if you HAD to choose one?

Three. Can’t pick any of the even numbers, the ejection port is on the wrong side so the cases might burn my arm :D :D

5. I love the Black/Tan colour combination.
Good. That's the bits I've ordered :P

Couldn't decide between the ladder cover and the rib cover, eventually went with rib - bit more to hold on to and more protection when I'm leaning against walls so as not to damage the rail.

Tan STR Stock
Tan PMags
Tan Rail Rib Covers
PTS MBUS Rear Backup Sight
Tritium Illuminated HK-Style Front Backup Sight
Vertical Grip
EOTech 552 Clone

Can't wait for the bits to arrive. Been bloody ages in the post - since the 27th last month!

It's actually the look I'm going for if I can find out how on earth I'm going to manage replacing the handguard and figuring out where to store the battery on my CM16 mod 0.

The G&G? Looks like that does a CTR style stock as standard. Handguard is easy - it's a standard delta ring, and looks like the front sight has a pin or grub screw to remove. You'll need to get a gas block/sight combo with a new gas tube if that's on your model, after that, you're pretty much sorted to get any commercial AR15 rail.

Made in G&G's eyes, yeah. Bit bulkier and a lot heavier. I swapped it out a while ago and haven't touched it since. 
The battery storage was the issue for me, that's why I bought the STR clone over the CTR - combines the storage of a crane stock with the ergonomics of an MOE/CTR stock.

 
The mod 0 is front wired, hence my dilemma with exchanging handguards. 
Ahh. You know, in my line of work, speaker wire has always solved many many problems! Take the handguard off, connect some wires in, run it through the delta ring, along the side of the receiver and up to the back. If you can. Cant see why you shouldn't be able to. Reattach the plugs at the back.

5 is clearly the most Operator.  Obviously that front grip has to spring out into a bipod, and it needs a drum mag, laser, strobe, and a 4x scope with a mini-red dot stacked on top.

6.

I cant tell from the picture but looks kinda like the BCM stock

Actually.....it doesn't.

I have an STR clone and the side pods really aren't as big as they look. The main issue is that where the rubber bits plug in at the back you would need to cut quite a hefty slot into the buffer tube to allow the wiring through. It's do-able but just don't expect it to be an out of the box solution. I solved it by using a stick lipo in the buffer tube.

Ffs. I would have got a normal CTR if I’d have known.

I looked inside my buffer tube and there’s really no room for any kind of battery, apart from maybe something sized like a AAA.

Really? I can fit a 7.4V 1300mAh LiPo in a standard M4 tube....
