Armalite Thread

[cmdrfire]

Been awhile since I've made a post, so...

For all you lovers of the M16-series, be they carbine, SMG, or full-fat rifle...
For all those who bow down to the altar of Armalite...

The original:

Some more modern looks ...

M16A3 SPR configuration w/ KAC free-float RAS, bipod, handgrip, custom trigger guard...

And finally... my Wall o' M16:

Enough from me, for now! Post your M16, M4, SR, and general Armalite pics! Go, go!

I don't have any red dots on my rifles p-) I have a couple of ACOGs, one for the M4 and one for the M15 but I took 'em off for easier mounting on the wall, space was a little tight :)

Good spot on the third gun, it is a TM M16A2 that belongs to a friend of mine... since he never uses it, I think I'll buy it off him cheap and put a metal M16A2 reciever and a new barrel and stuff on it. The gun itself is pretty good for an entry-level airsoft gun, reliable internals, reasonable accuracy though there is a problem with barrel wobble after awhile; I've heard that they've fixed this on their newer guns though. It's a good buy, and since pretty much everything is compatible with it, you can go ahead and upgrade it as you want to almost anything you want in the future.

Must be quite perverted if good feeling comes from owning 5 rifles of same type. If they were even different rifles... i don't know p-)

You don't know how horny makes me when i look at a lot of colt series guns :-P hahaha

I can only use 1 while playing... but 1 is for Vietnam kit, 1 is for modern USMC kit, 1 is for CQB, 1 is for sniping, and 1 belongs to a friend... so... :)

Plus, I think Armalites look good. Really good. And they look especially good up on my wall like that p-)

Little offtopic but what for do you need so many toy rifles? I mean you can use only one when you are playing (?) :|

Some folks like to collect stuff. I used to collect airsoft guns and firearms, and now I really just want one or two good rifles, a shotgun, etc. Nothing big. You can really only use one at a time unless you're rambo and have incredible coordination.

Of if you find a rare gun, you gotta snap it up at a good price, and sell it for alot down the road if all works out. An "investment" versus a cost.

I can't decide, keep the PEQ on the gun, or take it off.

I'm also debating getting an offset mount for the G2 and mounting it on the side... just don't know which one to get.

ust relised I'm missing the right side of the selector switch, need to super glue it in.

[TacoDelRio]

I'd say if you don't use a battery in the PEQ-2, get rid of it! :)

Less is more, especially when it doesn't do anything.

I want one! Too bad they cost so damn much.

Do you like it? Stops firing when your mag is empty and all that? Any problems at all?

[mrk]

I like it very much. Have to say that best airsoft rifle I have ever used. It took me some time to get used to not firing when mag is empty, but everyting is going smooth now :) Only problem was that hop-up needed little fixing had to change the hop-up bucking

[Kilo1-1]

This is nowhere close to a Systema, but...
Finally got it to get it to fire at 350 fps with a KM 100M spring, Systema oiless bushings, and new shims.

Both suppressors work extremely well with the higher FPS, as higher FPS = louder report, and the suppressor I made dampen them quite well.

MRK: Thanks for the info. Damn I still want one.

KILO: Looks good!

Thanks! Unlike the other members in this thread, this is the only Armalite I own.. which is enough at the moment as M4s are so flexible for different configurations for various scenarios.

Yes I did. Name sucked and was the only place I used it, so I had it changed to something better.

Scaar, I want that carbine! Sweet.

[cmdrfire]

Guys, some absolutely beautiful Armalites thus far...

masterdelta, I'm digging the EOTECH but unless you need the PEQ2, don't keep it on... looks more "clean" with it off ;-)

tenda, beautiful rifles as ever! What scope is that mounted on the shorter of the pair?

mrk - Systema. 'nuff said. I was looking to buy a Systema M16A4... maybe still am, but too much money going on my car at the moment. One day, maybe...

Kilo 1-1 - Gun looks good, does the barrel run all the way down the suppressor?

Taco, that's a beautiful paintjob on that carbine.

Scaar.at - beautiful rifles! Very nice, clean and pure ;-) Somewhere on my "must-buy" list is a full on M16A2 replica w/ metal reciever and the like...

Brakoo, what sort of ACOG you got on that thing? Looks evil...

Keep the pics coming guys! :D

[Anthony91]

Yes I did. Name sucked and was the only place I used it, so I had it changed to something better.

Scaar, I want that carbine! Sweet.

Wow, for a second there, I thought your were stealing Skorotsnoy's pics. LOL's.

[TacoDelRio]

Oh, but I am stealing his pictures.

He's not very good at taking pictures though. I think I'll kill him.

It's actually an ICS M16A3, but same difference.

I am at a loss for words. Every single one of those AEG's is a work of art. I particularly like the SPR's and the Mk18 (CQBR). WOW!

[Kilo1-1]

Where do your batt's go?
I'm guessing in a PEQ that's not shown on there? Unless he rewired it to the back and has a battery
bag.

By they way, nice collection Kuneho, I've seen these on Arnies, and I must say I'm still impressed everytime I see them. Also, is that an older style CAR-15/XM stock you have on that Commando?

Curly, nice M4. Who's it by, G&G? And what ACOG is that?

[USMC_VA]

wait it works now nice gun curly. and same question as cmdrfire

[curlyboy]

No it is an ICS and the ACOG is a guarder one.

Easily my most reliable AEG and my coolest as well.

curlyboy

[USMC_VA]

ics eh.. nice and that acog is really nice. how does it hold up??

[curlyboy]

The ACOG works really well once get used to it and zero you're weapon to it.

I went for a SOPMOD look with the gun but lost interest after buying the M203, in the UK everyone has red dots but the ACOG's has a better look and my one is still on its original batteries and has had loads of use (sometimes forget to switch it off :oops: ) and comes with a spare set of batts which was a plus.

I am thinking of replacing this M4 with a new ICS M4 as they are far better spec'd than this one was.

ahhh sweet. and canadian sig that is a lot fo money for tha gun. you can find something cheaper like CA, G&P, G&G. if you want an m16/m4 series weapon. dont go for that gun. i think that is way to much for it

Thanks for the advice. Keep in mind that it's Canadian dollars and Canadian prices.

[curlyboy]

Yes it does seem a bit pricey, but i agree with USMC VA you would do better with a CA or G & P as they are excellant weapons.

I know ICS have a bad rep in the states but you could go for one, but go for a metal one as the new TM one has not had good reviews and can still suffer with barrell wobble apparently.

Try here they are in California and are good and would save you $200 over the one you showed.

http://www.airsoftextreme.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=364_67&products_id=1898

But look at the CA's and the other metal ones you wont regret it in the long run.

Hey Thunder - how about some flip-up front sights for your blaster? That would be a nice improvement IMHO.

[Kilo1-1]

How's you achieve that look? Scrape it on something? Looks cool!

Very nice Minjin!
How long did it take you?
My old paintjob was done in about 6-10 minutes.

Well before I got the SIR on it, back in the days of the normal RIS and G3 bipod, the paint job took 5-10 minutes. I just did the SIR before a night game a couple weeks back, took about three mins to basecoat a couple coats, and then thirty seconds of the green and brown. Krylon dries really fast, I like it.

[Kilo1-1]

Nice, I also use Krylon for "fast and furious" painting. My last paintjob was also done right before a skirmish.

Interesting at best. With this M16 front end, the M4's actually lighter than with my SOPMOD front (RIS, PEQ, etc).
I don't use the M16 front end, as I was only throwing it on for experimental purposes. The M16 that the front barrel belongs is currently at my place for

Looks not good.

[sekiryuu]

Would a Howa Type 89 qualify as an Armalite? It's based off the AR18 platform...

[Kilo1-1]

Not quite, as the G36 is also somewhat based off the AR18.

The M16 is mostly done with repairs, so the long front end on this M4 is coming off soon, and the M4 SOPMOD front is going back on this carbine.

Nice collection of Armalites above...but I could never justify myself to have more than 2 Armalites...let alone 10.

Alright back to the main topic, I repainted the receiver today (most of it by hand *not fun*, as I ran out of Krylon's Mimosa paint).

I'd like a Mk12 too. Are you asking brand-wise for the M16? Or you asking someone who's selling it used?

[Göönk]

Milla,
Unfortunately used SPR are usually very expensive because of all the custom parts (outside+inside) and they are mint most of the time. I'm not even talking about the number of these guns sold. It would be better to build your own. You can make a Mod 0 with your M4 for cheap.

Hey Milla, Is your RIS upside down??

I think he put his RIS upside down because of the big battery box.

[THE JACKAL]

Smart idea!

So can you see the Iron sights better??

[Göönk]

That would not be possible with a G&P front set because of the gas tube. I wonder how it's possible with a classic army. I thought these guns were really close to the G&P. No gas tube? No RAS gas tube attachment? Weird.

I meant im looking for a full size Armalite so i can build my own. I want to keep my M4 for cqb situations and i want a MK12 for outdoor games. Maybe even an SR25.

But yes i flipped the RIS so ican see the front sight. I absolutley hate not being able to see my Front sight post.

I pulled out my old hunting burlap cloth and applied strips to the M4 (350 fps). This would be used during spotting/recon roles, mostly when I'm working alone or with another guy (as a pair). The burlap backdrop isn't a 100% accurate representation of my AO, as the place I skirm isn't as "dry," and has some more brown/greenish areas to it as well.

I've looked for M16A4 airsoft rifles before but haven't had alot of luck finding them, at least not A4s with rails and rail covers on the foregrip.

Or am I mistaken? Most of the time when I see rifles called M16A4s they look like M16A2s except with removeable carry handles. Am I just ignorant of M16A4s?

An M16A4 is similar to an M16A2 except, as you say, it has a removable carry handle and a RIS where the carry handle attaches. The forward rail as used by the US military is the Knights Armament Company M5-RAS. You can find a KAC RAS for a few hundred bucks from various gun stores, or Classic Army and G&P make excellent replicas in the region of US$120-200. Most manufacturers sell A3s and A4s without the RAS replica, though I think Red Wolf are selling a G&P gun with the RAS.

[Roanoke]

That's what I thought. I knew that M16A4s were supposed to have the rails on the foregrip and under the carry handle. I was just puzzled by the fact that it seems all the airsoft rifles that are sold as A4s are the same as A2s but with removeable carry handles.

You have to buy aftermarket rail systems for airsoft A4s?

[Göönk]

hum it's wrong. G&P doesn't make a replica of the M5 RAS. It's G&G.
And G&G is also making the GR16R5 with the RAS installed.

[cmdrfire]

Yep, my bad. I was sure G&P did an M5 a couple years ago...

no, I mean G&P receivers.
I have seen the ones you're showing before, and the upper reciever looked weird, like in two pieces. I didn't trust that make. What make is it? I don't remember. I only want G&P metal receivers.

In addition, I don't know if the front sets are compatible (delta ring thread, barrel hole, gas tube, gearbox, selector, stock...). So, I try to stay fidel to G&P.

[TacoDelRio]

While we're at it, does anyone produce FORGED airsoft M16 recievers (aside from Systema if they do)?

[Göönk]

G&P are good enough, really

[LeMonjello]

It's Zeke. The quality of Zeke bodies are much better than G&P, even better than Systema. The first set of Zeke bodies had very brittle metal but the quality got much better.

Whatever will fit on a G&P body will fit on a Zeke.

They are by far the easiest metal bodies to install so I do recommend them as a first metal body. I've worked with over 2 dozen G&P bodies and almost all have been crap...the biggest issue is how the lower fits to the upper - they usually don't and leave a pretty wide gap where debris can fall into. That's just 1 of many issues; I can get into more details if you want. The best metal bodies I think are Zeke and Systema/Guarder. I've never used a Hurricane but was told they are pretty good as well.

As for custom bodies, I said this on another forum...I use U-Station (Microstation) to design them and machine them using CNC lathe and milling machine. So far I can only make lowers with simple trades (e.g. Stag, Ameetec, AA, etc)...based on Zeke bodies. I've posted pics of my custom lower with Defender trades on another forum (arnies, same nic).

[Göönk]

I'm surprise that these bodies are good because the top receiver is made with two pieces. How can that be good quality?

http://www.wgcshop.com/pcart/shopper.php?itm=ZK-MB-FM16A4_cat_Metal%20Bodies

EDIT : and how to you put the delta ring on the body? there is no thread. I have seen these bodies in WGC before but I never considered them.

I've never seen anything like this Zeke's design with the 2 piece upper. It seems it doesn't come with the flattop rail. I'm assuming one's supposed to use the stock TM's upper rail (since it can be detached from the TM plastic body)?

[Milla]

Do CLassic Army's accept G&P Bodies?

EDIT : and how to you put the delta ring on the body? there is no thread. I have seen these bodies in WGC before but I never considered them.

The fact that it is in two pieces do not detract for the quality one bit. Once assembled it is solid and have never had any issues with them. I've recently assembled two AR's...one requested a Zeke A2E body while the other the G&P SPR A1 set.

Zeke took about an hour to assemble, didn't need to file anything down. Fit perfectly, zero seams. The cons, I did have to charge extra for the KN steel forward assist. Also, charged extra for a steel 2 piece hop. A one piece systema can be modded to fit, but again, that will be extra.

Now the G&P:

Biggest issue, the upper does not fit with the lower. Go through this thread and you can spot G&P receivers easily. Typically, towards the magwell, the upper will bend upward leaving a gap towards the front of the gun on both faces. In the pictures (again throughout this site), you can easily see the gearbox...this seam is big enough where all kinds of crap can fall into this seam and can potentially damage internals. Look at any CA M15, no gap. Zeke, Systema, or Guarder...no gap.

When you get a stock marui AR, you'll notice how smooth the selector clicks into place. The SPR set I just installed, the selector does not click into safe and auto. The "bars" above the selector are misaligned preventing the selector to be horizontal. Needed to be filed down...now the entire body needed repaint.

The rear body pin, the gearbox pin, and the trigger guard pin do not fit. The holes on both faces are misaligned. Either the pins needed to be grinded down or one of holes made wider. Again, body needed repaint.

I'm using a GB-Tech Mk12Mod0 conversion kit. The barrel does not fit into the upper body of the G&P receiver. There is loose material everywhere that prevents the barrel to properly engage the upper.

The charging handle does not function and cannot be pulled back since there is loose material everywhere. When I pull the handle back to adjust the hop, I can feel the handle grinding against the gearbox. Now, I personally don't care about the dust cover opening up. Zeke and Guarder bodies both retain this functionality.

The grip that came with the SPR set doesnot fit. There is a seam between the grip and lower that causes another opening to the gearbox.

Their hop-up is ****...didn't even bother installing it and replaced it with a systema unit.

I can post photo comparison of Systema, Zeke, and G&P if you want to point out all of these flaws.

Now, most of these are small details that can be fixed with a bit of tape (I usually recommend to tape up the seams when used outdoors). However, the gaps are unacceptable. How can Systema, Guarder, and Zeke put out metal kits that fit together without all these problems? Zeke, Systema, and Guarder kits are not flawless by any means, but G&P quality for metal body kits are way too poor. Like I said, early Zeke kits used a very brittle metal and had no Colt trades. G&P conversion kits are great...I've used their A1, A2, and M733 kits and they all look great and assembled easily. Also, their CNC SR-25 limited body was great...it assembled perfectly and was nearly flawless. So why can't all their metal body kits be this way?

[Göönk]

Thanks for the answer.

I agree with you on some points.
You installed a lot of G&P metal body and you didn't have luck.
I own 6 Armalites and 5 of them have G&P metal bodies. I installed most of them. I often assemble G&P ARs or customs for every day care or modifications.

The "AR15" (early M16A1VN receiver) had gap between upper and lower. I admit it's annoying. The M4 Marine too. But all other are great (M16A2 Burst, M16A1 with forward assist and M4 "seals"). No gap. Solid.
The fact is that when you adapt Marui gearboxes and accessories you don't have problems. If you try to adapt something else you'll have problems.

G&P metal bodies and front set fits perfectly. No fine necessary. (you need the tool, I think you have it). The delta ring is perfectly attached and it's solid. I only have G&P front sets except the M16A4 but I used a G&P Delta ring.

Now concerning the colours of the metal bodies, I think they are perfect. The thickness of the coating is amazing on the M16A1VN/A1/A2 series. The colour is really great. The new "Marine" or "Seal" bodies are black. Well, I wanted a black body for the M16A4 and the other has been repainted with tan TAMIYA.

Now the metal used : It's solid enough for every airsofter. Once a 200 pounds guy jumped on my AR15. NOTHING HAPPENED. I personnaly thing it's solid and I trust the quality of these bodies. The aluminium is good. It's not some ZAMAC metal. It's pure aluminium. Probably not higher rate and probably done the best but good enough for me. Even really good.

I know people that installed Guarder bodies and they suffered a lot. SO I will never buy a guarder body. The new series are pain in the ass to install. I don't have details but I heard that several time and I will not try by myself.

Keep in mind that a G&P metal body with accessories is 100$. It's really a good deal and after two years of use my AR15 has no prolems with the paint. I think it's new. I have to use sand paper and a dremel to age the bodies. Amazing in my opinion.

So, the Zeke body may be solid, but the two piece upper doesn't charm me. I don't believe that's solid to assemble the two parts together. Then to add the top rail. I still don't know how you fix the barrel. I know G&P barrels are solid with G&P bodies and delta rings.


EDIT
WGC says :
- Suitbale for Marui M4 A1/S-System.
- Recommended for experienced user.
So if you have an M16 you can't buy that body?
And where are the forward assit knob and the hop up chamber? And the dust cover?

[Kilo1-1]

Do CLassic Army's accept G&P Bodies?

They should be able to, if I'm not mistaken.

I do know for a fact that G&P bodies have the sliding receivers (for field stripping) like CA bodies.

http://www.airsoftadvance.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10003/IMG_3207.jpg

I started with a Guarder New Generation M4 Blank body and designed the artwork to fit the areas needed. I did make a mistake in setting it up that I did not realize until after I assembled it. On the left side of the body where it says "SEMI" I did not provide enough space for the selector switch. It covers the text up a little bit. Now that I know that I can make the proper adjustments. I think I may be able to use a CA metal body for this as well..... However, the logos would need to be sanded off and the body repainted. I am going to try this with the SPR I am buidling and I will let you guys know if that is possible within the next week or so. If it is possible then I would offer the service from start to finish with sanding and painting. If I took care of that then we'd need to talk a little bit about labor and paint fees. I'm pretty confident it will work and look nice.

Goonk,

I didn't draw on the body, I actually used Corel Draw to create the digital vector line image and had it laser engraved. I spent near 15 years in the sign business and made some good contacts in the engraving field as well as learned my way around some design work. BTW, the "SHTF" was "stolen" from that G&P Seals body becuase I thought it was fuuuuuuuuuny. Seeing how my CQBR fires at 405-410fps at a rate of 24 rounds per second I figured it was appropriate. I used a Laylax Satellite Chrono to measure it.

I'm pretty sure it releases all tension on the piston so the nozzle isn't forward when you disassemble, etc.

Either that, or it's the auto-break feature, which,well, breaks the gun faster. p-) p-) p-)

It has been ages since I bought it and I am not sure of the manufacturer I do specifically remember it cost $54. It is a replica A.R.M.S. mount I believe the spacer is 10mm. King Arms makes one just like it although I am not convinced it is the same as mine and it can be found at WGC Shop. http://www.wgcshop.com/pcart/shopper.php?itm=KA-SM-02_cat_Mount%20Rings

G&P also makes one but WGC is out of stock. It might be worth looking for one though since it is quite a bit cheaper. http://www.wgcshop.com/pcart/shopper.php?itm=GP-SMR-510_cat_Mount%20Rings

Hope that helps..... I do love that mount. I have to say in true "poser" fashion I saw it on a real M4 from pictures from Iraq and had to have it.

I'm pretty sure it releases all tension on the piston so the nozzle isn't forward when you disassemble, etc.

Either that, or it's the auto-break feature, which,well, breaks the gun faster. p-) p-) p-)

The forward assist button releases the strain on the gears by returning them to a start position, it is very handy and increases the life of the gearbox.

This is my 2nd ICS M4, Nothing ever went wrong with my old one (had phoenix arms trades) but the older one's had plastic bushings in a full metal gearbox which was a bit stupid but she had fired about a 100,000 rounds so i cant complain, the new one has a 1J spring, silicone wiring & a completely metal gearbox so i thought it was time for an upgrade.

Guys, seriously, can anyone of you start a thread of pics of you carrying your M4s in this thread in full gear? I think it'd be really cool.

Just a thought... :D

that is the CQBR from G&P right wilco.. how do you like it .i am thinking of buying it

[Göönk]

the barrel doesn't look like CQBR's. It looks like a new barrel with a silencer begining under the FF RAS

[Wilco]

It's the CQB-R Special Operations from G&P, and it's wicked. It shoots around 370-380 out of the box.

looks to be the proud one.

[Kilo1-1]

Awesome collection Mouldingo!

Bare essentials with a 'Daniel Defense style' rail system. The 100mph tape on the receiver is for identification purpose with "2-7" written (Sharpie). This is "high-speed" setup for quick action...and it's currently going at round 350 FPS.

looks good but one thing i dont like is the gun looks way to front heavy..

[Mouldingo]

Thanks for the warm welcome Guys. Yup that's a Proud CASV Shorty. Airsoft in the Philippines is still considered illegal. But we do have a number of underground well-stocked shops. We also have some players who have guns reaching 500-600 fps.

Not exactly an M16...but still purrty...

Holy **** solo, absolutley gorgeous (so envious of you right now) The M16 on the left is drop dead sexy. The M4 is also equally beautiful. Any chance of some more pics of those 2?

HA.

(It's like you said for the A4, and thank you).

Well, welcome in the club then!
Vivid congrats p-)

[cmdrfire]

Solo, I apologise for not being able to reply sooner. As usual though, the quality of your rifles just continues to astound me - particularly the M4 and the M16A4. Simply outstanding.
My next project (once I've stopped spending money on my car!) is to do a proper M16A2, much like you've got - hopefully I'll be able to have that finished by year-end.
I've one question though - In this (http://solodallas.googlepages.com/ap1.jpg) picture, the metal on your RAS appears to have blued somewhat? It's a pretty cool effect to be honest, I was just wondering how it became that way...

You need *not* to apologize my friend (smiles).
And thanks a lot for your appreciation.

Answer: it came like that (blue/purple). It's a real KAC. I was told some come in that color. Some folks (I was told) even dislike it, and seemingly pouring some kind of oil on it will make it change color into a darker shade (of blue/purple, I imagine).

;)

[Milla]

Yeah the FN bodies of our M16A4's are that purpilish color lol.

I received my SPR outer barrel Friday and put the gun together with the sanded down and painted CA body as I mentioned in my previous post about my custom logo CQBR. Once I field it to see if the paint survives I will go forward with custom laser engraved trades on this one.

How's the accurace on your PTW's?

[Solo]

How's the accurace on your PTW's?

Inner barrel is a 6.10 (not 6.01) so accuracy is "standard".
You can purchase a custom inner barrel (I have) and accuracy increases a lot.
