M4 metal body guide

[sergeantsmity]

I have always used D-Boys recievers, they are simple but rugged. The ejection port opens correctly when charging handle is pulled, and you can adjust the magazine release to make it less or more sensitive. Remember to go for performance, then looks. good luck

I don't know why Magpul didn't machine the hole properly to begin with.

i got the g&p zombie killer with the hopup and pins and all those goodies, i've found my echo 1 m4 gearbox fits perfect, but see no way to attach the dust cover :banghead: but the ejection port cover locks in nicely, so i guess to adjust the hopup im just gonna have to open it by hand, sorry i dont have time to do the full review but hope this helps

How can't you attach the dust cover?

[Azathoth]

Probably it didnt come with the long pin used to mount the dust cover.

Some of these kits assume you are doing a FMU and have all of the furniture and fixtures from your stock gun that are almost always metal.

This is a good thread, I'd just like to see a little more info about fitment - ie: what brands the different bodies fit.

I just bought a G&G and am very interested in replacing the body - I'm just having a hard time figuring out what brand body will fit with the least hassle. G&P and D-Boys both seem easy to get, but I'm not sure which would work better.

Dboys are cheaper, but are a little hit and miss, if you decide t go for Dboys, make sure you know how to use a dremel

Does anyone have any experience with the new King Arms metal bodies?

[theguy]

Not first hand, but I have heard they are great.

I have had nothing but good experience with just about everything i have ever bought from kings arms (Except speed loaders!)

[panzergrenadier]

Yeah I've been thinking of picking one up with the laser engravings and getting em removed so I can get C8 engavings on it... Unfortunately they don't seem to sell blank ones

[Azathoth]

Dboys is hit and miss. Their are some good bodies and some others are piles of utter crap. The QC

[spaceman13]

Would i run into fitting issues putting a classic army m4 metal body on a g&g gr16?

they are almost as good as the perfect fit Zeke metal bodies but more sturdy, they do make blank ones but they are rare, however if you are looking to get a C8 body UN company can arrange for a custom engraving.

KA metal body almost require no modification at all, the newest batch are a far cry from the 1st gen version they are made to fit perfectly with Systema mechbox.

hey guys, little off topic, but i have a dpms panther carbine (m4, walmart, i know, but im on a tight budget) and im tryin to figure out how to spice it up a bit.im lookin to put a new outer barrel on it so i can aybe thread a suppresor onto it?any suggestion? any input is appreciated

[Styrak]

Depends on what actual version it is. If it's the shitty cheap version that uses AA or AAA batteries there's nothing you can do to it. If it's TM compatible you can put pretty much anything you want on it.
How much did you pay for it? (that's a good indication)
