ICS M4A1 Fixed stock, how to fit rails?

[NickM]

Hi All,

 

I bought one of these, ICS M4A1 metal fixed stock http://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/ics-m4a1-fixed-stock-airsoft-gun-aeg, it has a plastic fore grip with no rails and I was wondering about my options if I wanted some on it.

 

Option one a full new handguard.

 

The delta ring/barrel nut thing is proprietary so either a new handguard would need to match or I'd have to find a standard one and find a new nut (cog shaped I believe). Is this a complicated thing to do? And can anyone point me in the direction of one that would do the job.

 

Option two something else....

 

Can you fit single rails to the handguard without having to fit a whole new unit? Like something that just screws to the existing plastic? I really only want a vertical grip and some way to attach a torch for night/cqb so don't need 4 rails.

 

Before people say google it, I've been finding it hard to figure out what would/wouldn't fit other than the ICS one but that is either stupidly expensive or out of stock.

 

Cheers

Nick

adding a torch is easy, you can get a barrel clamp....

adding rails to a standard M4 style handguard is similarly easy;

second link may require some minor modification of your plastic handguard, but nothing significant.

Cheers Jcheeseright was presuming it was possible to just add a rail.

 

Thanks

Or you can do what I did and spend 3 hours modifying a king arms CASV rail to fit an ICS m4!!!
