Help with a custom build?

[Spectre Wulfe]

So I'm looking to build a C7A2, which I hope to get looking like the one pictured -



Currently I've been asking sites that do custom work, including xxxxxxxx, who quoted £400, xxxxxx, who suggested getting a Spectre Modular aeg and just making it from the different parts of those which I could do but again seems expensive, asked xxxxxxx, still awaiting reply, if you can think of anyothers who do decent custom work please suggest(Although I am looking to maybe build it myself).

Bascially I need help with finding an M4 carbine that will take a M16A2 front end, and finding other parts, as I am still relatively new to airsoft and never done a custom job before I am struggling a bit on my own. Any help would be appreciated.

The only people that can be recommended to you under the forum rules are zero one, who do custom work.

Sorry about that mate. Didn't think just copied the post directly from another forum to save retyping.

Any M4 (Marui Compatible) will take an M16A2 front end. G&P make an A2/A3 front set, then you just need an M4A1 (Non LE) type stock with a butt pad, an RIS gas block, an ELKEN, some green spray paint and if you want, a C7/8 body.

Not too hard to do yourself really.

EDIT: Bloody picture ninja!

that green looks really bright in the first pic and too close to "two-tone" for my liking... i'd dull it down abit if you were thinking of doing it that bright....

Just so It looks different to a normal M4!

And yes, It's very close to a Two-Tone........too close

Noob question I am afraid, what does non LE mean?

Law Enforcement. The newer style 6 position stocks. Like below:

Wrong one (LE)......................The one you need (In black or OD)

Can always take the one off my HK416 and swap them.

Re: Help with a custom build?

Your 416 has an old style M4 stock? The one with the tick in above?

Yes? Shouldn't it?

Actually its not exactly the same... never mind.

416's either come with the LE type, or the one below:
