Wait how much do metal rails cost for an M4 there? All I got is just a plastic handguard and I seriously don't want to cash $55 for full metal ris rails atm....

IF you've got a plastic handguard you need to buy some sort of RIS front end. You can't just replace the plastic handguard bits with rail-capable doodads. Get a free-float RIS system that lets the top rail meet up with the rail on the upper receiver (HK416 style).

No orange tips in Hong Kong. There are streets lined with shops. Obviously I won't be able to get full models past customs back into the US, but there's plenty of upgrades and accessories to be had for 50+% cheaper than from any websites that are available in North America. I'll be sure to pick up a full set of multicam fatigues before I leave. For some reason I can't seem to find a mediocre set in the US for a reasonable price and now I can get the full set for less than $25 USD.

DELTA, while you're in HK could you look into some things for me? When you get back you would need to ship to me in Canada but I'd be willing if you can find what I'm looking for for a decent price. Just let me know what the price would be in USD if you can.

I'm looking for a VFC SCAR STD (Standard) length inner-barrel and outer-barrel, there are three marketed types as you can see in the picture below:


You can also see the bit I marked in green, the "lower front set" as it were. If you could find that whole thing with the STD inner and outer barrels installed you would be my hero. I could then simply swap out the lower front sets for CQB or out door play.

I'm also looking for a legitimate SCAR style QD flash-hider with suppressor combo, like this:


This is the specific style of flash-hider I'm looking for, if you can't find one with a suppressor included or that fits (or if you don't want to risk bringing back a fake suppressor) then just the flash hider would be fine. Just make sure it's 14mm negative threading:

Yay airsoft markup!

Also, I've read from people on Red Alliance that breaking the guns into pieces usually lets you get them past customs. You can always apply the 0.75" of orange paint onto the gun yourself after purchase.

Freelancer, mind showing me some links of some good free-floating RIS rails for the M4?

Also I'm hoping today I can go to the only dedicated airsoft shop in Michigan, my friends tell me they got a pretty big selection so I'll check it out, I'll include pics if so.

Daniel Defense rails are extremely popular and well made (and expensive), however that link has a couple of good videos and the "WHY R.I.S.?" thing that you can check out. Alternatively you can start Magpulling the shit out of your M4 and make all the gear whores jelly:

And the rails to go with it:
Short
Medium
Long

Get the actual PTS MOE in tan, then get a Magpul PTS (or real Magpul) stock in tan. Tan stock + handguard with everything else black looks pretty good IMO.

@Freelancers
Damn these time zones, wish I saw your request earlier. I literally saw a shelf filled with SCAR outer barrels of various lengths, but there was no telling what brand they were. I'll try and figure it out the next chance I get, hell I can just show the clerk the pic you posted. I'm also looking for the same type of flash suppressors, but so far that seems to be the only accessory that I haven't seen.

In other news I saw some CRYE and magpul gear, and they were even more expensive here than online.

I still want a black m4 bird cage suppressor 14mm neg for cheap over in HK

Also Freelancer I will go check out the airsoft store near my place to see if they got that stuff for cheap vs online if I can ever go...

That was where I was all day. It was Sunday here, so some of the stores were closed. I'll head back in the near future.

@Spartan: I'll see what I can do.

If I do fulfill any favors for you guys, I would prefer to be payed through paypal. Just a heads up.

Thanks delta also um seeing I find nobody with any black tip StG44 (MP44) think you could try to find one in HK? I do know the stg44 is manufactured in asia somewhere but could you try to find a spare black tip? I hate the obnoxious orange tip but I need it for regulations here in America as you know lol but I also want a black tip for props and such.

(bbb-ut we have the 2nd amendment)

Speaking of my StG44 I'm going to give the wood a bit of a older look to it and roughen up the metal to give it that WWII Warsaw told me about, besides I want to do that anyways, like I will ever be selling my StG44 I been wanting to get for 3 years......sometime

Alright so the silencers and flash hisses are so separate(from what I've seen so far). For some reason the SCAR type hiders are more expensive than the common M4 birdcage.

M4 flash hider: $10
Scar flash hider: $23 (the phantom and a three-pronged model was the same price)
silencers average at $26

Not much of a price difference for these. Haven't noticed any StG44 or VFC parts, but I'll keep my eyes open.

Freelancer, could you measure the length from the bottom of the pistol grip to the top of the upper receiver on your SCAR and let me know? Thanks.
