Got my rail in, and have some Magpul MBUS, MSA, and MS3 sling en route:

Looks more and more like a 416 with every addition.

Yeah I'm a big fan of the 416, but 416's are pretty expensive and then they're kind of proprietary in certain areas. Going with an M4 as a base works out better.

After the stuff I have ordered comes in the only other external upgrades I may consider would be a different optic (either a Micro T1 or 4x ACOG), and this awesome receiver set:




Right now I'm saving up for a Magpul PTS PDR for indoor play though.

The PDR is badass. Kind of similar to the p90. I want one so bad to replace the p90 I have with it.

Took some updated photos of my SCAR:

I find it insulting that if I wanted to buy the SRC M4 RIS Gen III, that I'd have to spend $460 on the gun itself and then have to pay another $90 to replace the translucent lower receiver with the metal one.

007 Airsoft has two GREAT sales a year. When I say great I mean 25-50% off sales. That's when I picked up my SRC M4 RIS Gen III and the replacement body. Total came out to $390 ($409.50 w/tax).

However, instead of paying $550 for a Gen III + lower metal receiver it would normally be a lot better to buy the Gen III Pro. The Pro series has a metal lower receiver as well as a slightly more durable piston.

Also I made this:

This gun has definitely seen better days

It's my friend's Classic Army M4 from like 8 years ago. It's probably first or second generation clone from the original Tokyo Marui's. It is broken obviously, has been for years. My friend has since painted it up to use as a prop for videos and gave away the barrel guard to some kid who was missing one for his own gun. Don't ask me what happened to the charging handle...

Anyhow, I convinced him to lend it to me so that I can strip it down completely and model all the parts for my CAD final project. During this process hopefully I can easily figure out what went wrong with it internally and perhaps I'll be able to fix it, assuming none of the major parts have deteriorated to the point where the whole gun is unusable (I found rust on the fake bolt plate, hopefully there isn't any on the gearbox). I am pretty confident with working on the gearbox after spending so much time fiddling with my SCAR. If I get it firing again, I'll try and rebuild the outside with Magpul parts... Hopefully my friend will either agree to chip cash in or just give me the gun to do this. I will post progress for the CAD project here if anyone is interested.

Also, how do I post images on Modacity without it breaking the margins...

Use [SHOT] instead of [IMG].

I fixed it for you.
