Don't forget the fun of watching the owner get all pissy every time you call it a M4

Kinda, but no more than any other AR based pew.

If they were all the same we'd never want anything after the M16A1.

For those of us wanting 'Meh just another M4' have you found a site/sites for the 'correct' L403A1 accessories & furniture?

 

Here's one I've just found...

That isn't remotely close, and a bloody expensive package for what it is too 😳

 

Replica Aus mount: https://www.airsoftsightline.com/product-page/aus-mount

Acro mount for Aus: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004880141971.html

Acro Replica: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009371187656.html?

Don't think there's a replica of the Eleanor LPVO YET but I remember seeing either Angry Gun or Holy Warrior or one of those brands tease one a little while ago

 

VFC make the suppressor so that's checked off

 

Then the Magpul MIAD and CTR stock are easy to acquire 

 

Think the correct BUIS are Magpul MBUS?

 

And then finding somebody to cerakote the optics and mount to the same FDE as the receiver (Like West Lasers)

 

Cloning rifles isn't cheap 😳😂

And that is exactly why I asked.

You can substitute the Acro with a normal RMR but it doesn't look as cool to me personally

 

 

[ButcherBill]

The acro seems to be readily available so far.

Did you get yours yet? The rifle I mean

Not yet, unsure of delivery timescales

Acro mount where? All I see there is RMR footprint - been on the hunt for the actual acro one for a year, at this rate i'll just cough up for the real reptilia ROF-90

 

BUIS are Magpul MBUS Pro according to the OG edgar brothers spec sheet, there are no decent clones, the closest i've seen are the ones that came with the first and second batches of DE N4's (ie prior to them stopping including the almost SL-K stock).

Ah, I maybe miss-spoke it's the acro p2 I've seen & mainly in black

I thought they had the same mount to tell you the truth 😂

The AR design has kinda been done to death and people make a huge fuss over "new" AR-based stuff that looks exactly like every other one.

 

I like my 416 but it does look like every other AR.

 

But i do kinda like this. Not bothered about the L403 specifically, but i like the KS-1 dressed up like that with the foregrip and suppressor, etc.

 

I'd rather have a black one over the FDE though.

I do like an A1 triangular foregrip.

The correct scope is being made by EG with the mount and acro in FDE. 

The AG suppressor still looks better than the vfc one from pics but I'll directly compare them once the vfc suppressor lands later this month . UKSF versions do have some other optic and furniture options if you don't fancy the ranger/RM options

Can't say I've seen any other versions yet.

[1st commando]

There are pictures out there of various configurations on exercises and even a couple from deployments

Thanks, just seen a few pics... I might have a use for my Hydra mount after all.

[Austeyr]

Hopefully I'll stumble upon a KS-1 with an EXPS3 on it so I can be "clone accurate" and also use an optic I like 😂

[1st commando]

It's not the B5 stock on those, it's a magpul SL-K 

[Austeyr]

I'm out of touch with AR's and their accessories I can't lie 😂

[ButcherBill]

Och, I'll just copy the pretty picture...
