Custom M4 – Daniel Defense/Magpul Project Update

Few more parts came in today, so I had an opportunity to get it put together. Cosmetically, this is about it. I’m tossed up between the 10″ barrel, or the full M4-length, so I got a 10″ barrel with an extension on it to make it the regular M4-length. Mechanically, there’s nothing to brag about.

New Project: Daniel Defense & Magpul Inspired Custom M4 Carbine

Most of the cosmetics for my latest project arrived today, so I had to slap it together temporarily and snap a few pics. Nothing studio worthy here, just some quick stills from my dining room table. Cheers, Mr.S [ READ MORE ]

Lack of Updates Lately. Here’s why.

Hey everyone, With the plethora of airsoft news sites bubbling up this year, there hasn’t been much need for another news aggregator – I’ll see what I can do about running a bot that will stream my favorite news from around the globe – but I’m going to focus my own time more on custom gun [ READ MORE ]

MGS4: M4 Custom Project – Final Update

Well, the MGS4: M4 Custom Project is pretty well finished.   I’ve left the wiring to the front for now, although I have all the tools and equipment I need to use a rear-wired Li-Po battery in the buffer tube.  Which is probably the route I’m going – only problem is I’ve had enough offers to buy [ READ MORE ]

MGS4 – M4 Custom Project: Update.

Update to my MGS4: M4 Custom Project. OMFG. Words cannot describe my level of frustration. Selecting the JG M4 S-System as my base gun was probably the worst possible thing I could have done. In short, I'm better off building the gun from scratch. After disassembling the SIR front-end, receiver, and trying to comprehend how I'm ever going to attach the S-System's proprietary outer-barrel to my D-Boys Metal Receiver - I gave up. Instead I found someone who had a lightly used CA M15-A2 (I believe) outer barrel. The model without the notch for the grenade launcher. Which is probably what I should've done to begin with, as the original 3D Render I was working from doesn't have that notch anyways. So, all is good in the world. Right[ READ MORE ]
