You are correct good sir , TM haven’t made a fixed upper for the M4 recoils but it is possible to do , there’s been a couple of documented builds on different forums over the yrs . I actually built one my self a good while ago , basically I cut away the lower side rail on the carrying handle , drilled and tapped a couple of holes in the base corresponding to ris rail gaps thread locked a couple of pieces of threaded rod in to the holes then epoxy putty in the rail gaps pushed the the rods in to the putty , filled all the side gaps in then sanded and painted then in a Blackhawk down themed camo and then age it a bit .?

Too right, thank god for this thread, if it stops just one person from getting ripped off then it's worthwhile. pisses me off that other forums dont allow similar threads, feckin snowflakes ?

@Tackle - Unfortunately there's no shortage of chancers and rip off merchants in airsoft, just like in many walks of life.

Nah, half that

Swapped my stock CYMA AK. For a brand spanking new and unused Ares AM-009. I feel so so so dirty.

An M4?

Something tells me that wasn't Airsoft and more like army or an expensive day out with the lads ?

Which airsoft site was that?

Thing to remember when painting is that surface prep is the most imortant factor. Needs to be completely free of dirt and grease, running some fine wet and dry abrasive paper over it, clean it again with detergent (washing up liquid, diluted, rinse, dry, then ideally use IPA (isoproyl alcohol) and a lint free cloth to give a final clean, before spraying several LIGHT coats of paint from about a foot away, leaving a few minutes between coats. Fewer coats the better. Applying varnish after will not protect the paint if it hasn't been applied correctly to start with. Preparation is key to a decent finish. Also don't mix different types of paint (acrylic with enamel for instance) or you can end up with paint finish resembling crazy paving!
