Hey guys, wondering if you can help me with something. I've been looking for a Marui compatible m16a4 full length RIS set up for a while now and cannot for the life of me track one down that isn't $240 on redwolf (that's almost the price of the AEG!) I'm looking to get a CA M16a4 but can't find them in the states with the RIS already on it. So I guess I will the polymer hand guards and buy a rail system for it. ( I can find their sportline series with the RIS but it's not what I'm looking for). I've looked everywhere I can think of and googled a million times but to no avail. If anyone has an idea of where I can find either a decently priced issue looking m16 rail or the whole gun with rail I would sooooooo appreciate it. This seems like it would be an easy thing to find, maybe I'm just lacking in internet-fu.  Sugg. |

Two things Paranox, first, that's not an M5 RAS. Second, he said he was going to be picking up a CA M15, which does have the Milspec delta ring. Even then, it's possible to pick up a G&P or similar delta ring for cheap, and still be way ahead of the $240 it would cost him otherwise.

In my opinion, I would probably just go with the free float rail. It it a lot sturdier than the delta ring ones, and kind of looks better too.

Chaffin, I guess that's up to opinion and I'd disagree with you. A freefloat rail is also less accurate for an M16A4 that would be in use by the military, as the KAC M5 RAS is the one that is currently used.

I thought he said he was going to be getting one if he could not get an RIS that would work for the Marui. But anyways, who said he was going for an M5 RAS? He just stated he wanted an RIS and did not state a preference. |

I guess there were a couple of assumptions from me. First, he said it was $240. I know that one of the M5 RAS costs around that much. Second, he wanted a CA M15A4 with RAS. The RAS that they come with is the M5. Third, I believe he is doing a USMC Impression with Relish, and they use the M5 RAS.

Ahh thanks a ton Knife, you nailed it! I think my problem was I didn't know the proper designation (M5, or RAS vs RIS) for the rail I was looking for.
Still appreciate the help and suggestions very much PaRaNoX, I'm going for a Marine Corps grunt kit so the free float doesn't work for that at all. That's why I said M16a4 and issue style.
I was going bananas trying to figure out why I couldn't find a plain jane m16 RAS.
Thanks guys!

Ahhh and Kneif shows up with his sense talking. The G and G looks good because it is pretty much the cost of the CA and a rail combined...
Too many options...
Or I could take the real AR stock I already have laying around, slap it on my m4 and buy a m16 RAS, and outer barrel and blamo have a m16a4...but then I'd be out of a working m4...
I think the GandG might be the most sense.. Damn it.
Edit - Thanks as well Kurt, I think I'm going to mull this all over so I don't make any snap decisions. Maybe I can check out someones G&G at a game before I go ahead the the purchase.

The G&G is a nice rifle. I bought one for my son and slapped an ACOG & Peq-15 on it to match my nephew's RS Marine one. It is a solid performer. The one thing I don't like is that it is a bit on the light side. But that is a minor complaint.

Because carrying around something light always sucks! If anything, being light is a pro and not a con.

But in all seriousness, I stand by what Knief says. G&G produces best performing M4/M16 AEG replica on the market today. You can't really go wrong. CA has been in a slump lately, and I would definitely not trust one of their guns over a G&G. |

Haha thanks Dahm, but I only make snap buys when it comes to gear.
I think if I do go with the new gun rout it will be a G and G based on what everyone is saying, but as of right now I'm thinking about just converting the M4 I already have. Rel found me a whole G and G front end for a really good price. Comes with everything so I wont even have to mess around.
I appreciate all the advice dudes. It's been super helpful.
