A ruler-on-the-screen says that the stock looks more A2 length than A1 and the butt stock looks like it's fully textured like A2, but I could be wrong on those. Can't see if the flash hider has a hole on the bottom (A1) or no hole (A2). The receiver is A2: the rear sight has an elevation adjuster, the forward assist is round rather than teardrop, there's a shell deflector behind the ejection post, and the slip ring is tapered rather than parallel. I can't see if there's a finger groove on the grip, but I'm guessing that there is. [UPDATE] Oh, this one? https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/golden-eagle-m16a1-super-enhanced-aeg Yup, butt, stock, grip and flash hider are all A2. The only A1 thing that I can see on there is the hand guard. "A1 style receiver. Perfect for re-enactment [and] mil-sim", the cheeky buggers. Now, I'm sure someone will out-nerd me (front sight post profile?). daltonwilliams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted July 20, 2020 Mostly Retired Moderators Share Posted July 20, 2020 Did A1/A2 have a quick release sling mount in the stock? Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Encore Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 11" Strike industries gridlok handguard (all black) Ascend armoury angled m lok foregrip Surefire 5" warden suppressor (+ flash hider) VG6 Precision Epilson muzzle break (heat treated multi colour) Magpul K2 AEG pistol grip (Kublai) x2 All clone stuff of course but still cost me £200 all in. Now just gotta wait for it to arrive from china. Hopefully picking up an AAF recoil AEG soon but that should be a trade hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did hesitate to even point it out, but it's genuinely a poor show by PatrolBase (or anyone else) to claim that it's an A1 receiver, which it clearly isn't. Hmm, are there any actual A1s? The CYMA "A1" receiver is closer, but still has an A2 stock, grip, birdcage and slip ring. https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/cyma-cm-009a1-m16a1-assault-rifle G&P looks pretty good, but at a much higher cost: https://gpairsoft-uk.com/shop/en/50019-gp-airsoft-m16a1-aeg-gp-gp290.html They even do a recoil version of the very early pattern with no forward assist: https://www.gunmart.net/gun-reviews/airsoft-guns/bb-guns/gp-m16a1-recoil The thing is, the BBs won't care, and neither will anyone else except stitch-counters.

Monkman Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Bought a pair of Lowa Zephyr Gtx mid boots, as my Altberg Defenders are a bit heavy and cumbersome for summer. Plus some weather protection to throw up by my car. (Some events I've gone to now with COVID restictions, have u setting up in a carpark..no cover! This solves that one..)

Yeah fair point, either way in my eyes I got an M16 so I'm happy, luckily I haven't met any stitch counters at the games I've gone to yet 😄 Trying to think now though if I went to a Vietnam era film-sim would people kick off 😄 Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
