If you were to build a l119a from scratch.....

What m4 aeg would you use for the base?

Also could anybody list all the parts needed to convert the said m4 to l119a?

Thinking about doing an uksf loadout next.

Its a L119a1 and this thread has been done to death, do a search mate and I think most people use a G&P.

I'd buy an M4, some DPM, and some MTP, then I'd insert my head into my anus.

Nah, only joking. Do quite like them, but I'd want a recoil one. Use the link above.

Simple. Buy an M4, call it an L119a1 or Diemco or whatever you want, then throw a huge hissy fit when someone says "nice M4" :P

Or just stick on your high horse and don't bother commenting?

Erm.... If you are building a gun from scratch then you wouldn't use a base gun.

I think the problem with M4's is that they are so highly customisable its hard to build one that is supposed to replicate a certain real steel M4.

The only real way you can do it is by buying the receiver with the markings that you need, otherwise its just another custom M4

That makes no snese, a G&P M4a1 looks like a real steel M4a1?

What makes no snese? And is the second part a question or a statement?

Re: If you were to build a l119a from scratch.....

Surely the fact that M4s are "highly customisable" makes it easier to replicate a real steel M4.

Re: If you were to build a l119a from scratch.....

the last one i built i bought all the bits and didn't use a donor gun. here's a picture of the parts i used

the idea was to build one that competed with a PTW using the the SCU however I had problems getting it to fire right so i stuck in a normal AEG gearbox. the SCU is on the bench at the moment and when I get a chance I'll have another go at it.

Parts list:
dragonred diemaco marked receiver
g&p cqb outer barrel
g&p stock pipe and old style sliding stock
Guarder pistol grip
madbull python inner barrel
i ended up using a magnum motor
hop was a ACM one but good quality
element SF flash hider
perr-mike barrel extension and silencer so I can swap between the different lengths.
sling plate was ACM
knights arnament ris
ACM front sight
g&p delta ring
guarder butt pad

some army code sights appeared on ebay recently for 50 quid but they have all gone now so keeping an eye on the forums for one is your best bet now.

all told it cost about 600 quid and can be done cheaper if you shop around. if you get the dragonred receiver it doesn't come with all the furniture but luckily i had spares lying around.

here's the finished item

True. I think when i said its hard to build one, I should have said that 9/10 people wont recognise what it is unless they see the markings.(me included) To most its just an M4 with RIS

I will try and explain what I was saying a bit better.

If I take an m4a1 body (colt markings?) and put all of the bits that mightyjebus listed (barrel, ris, stock, sights.) That doesn't make it an L119a1, its just makes it a customised M4a1

You need the receiver with the Diemaco markings to make it a proper replica.

Same as if i took a Diemaco body and put the m4a1 standard front end, stock and carry handle on it. Does that make it a Diemaco with m4a1 front end and stock or an m4a1 with a Diemaco body.?

Hopefully that makes a bit more sense
