M4 to L129A1 Conversion?

[ronin677]

as the title suggests I wish to convert my M4 to a L129A1 look alike.

 

I figure if I can remove the foresight from my M4 and replace the foregrips, I'd end up heading the right direction.

 

My first question is what barrel can I buy for my G&G to delete the foresight.

Actually Is the SR25 a better idea?

[M_P]

Very much so, the 5.56 and 7.62 rifles are significantly different in size.

Best starting point would be an a&k or G&p sr25k.

Both the upper and lower receivers are quite different.

[jcheeseright]

Yeah, an M4 will never be turned into any kind of passable L129 sharpshooter lookalike. Some kind of SR25 is required

[ronin677]

Cheers guys.

 

the more I look the more I can see the SR25 is the way forward

[sp00n]

why not SR15?

[M_P]

Because it's 5.56, not 7.62

[sp00n]

but its what he has ...

[M_P]

He also asks if an sr25 would be better though. Neither will look the same but a 25 can atleast get close-ish.

why not SR15?

I can see what you mean with the SR15

 

I think the SR25 will give me a closer look though as the mag housing is the more correct size. Thanks for the idea though
