We dont do indoor games much. Occasionally there is a SASCO game, but smaller is always nice though.

Yes, you can always put a crane stock and get an M4 front, but if you get an M16A3, they are pretty nice looking. Put a RIS on it and you will have an M16A4. (Thats how it works, right?)

Which stores are out of stock?  Are you looking for a US retailer, or one in HK?

Kurn, as far as I can find, all the HK dealers were out. Luckly, someone posted an M15A4 for sale, and I found it, ironically on these boards. I've checked Boomarms.com, UNcompany.com, www.wgcshop.com, and a few others. www.airsplat.com has them for $324 with free shipping, although a little steep.

I was looking for an HK or US retailer.   But JungleToy said they will have them in tomarrow (the m15a4r that is).   I really like the retractable stocks... I have one on my real A3... although it looks a bit weird it functions much better than with the A2 stock for me.   I guess I could just relocate the battery up to the front handguards right??

You would need to rewire the battery wires to the gear box. Complicated from what I've heard.

Yes, you will need to rewire the gearbox. You sould also know that the m15's with a retractable stock require you to store your battery somewhere other than the stock. They come with a cruddy looking AN/PAQ laser replica (mounts on the RIS), so eventually you will either want a stock that can store a battery (solid/ crane) or you will want to buy a realistic AN/PAQ battery box. Either way it's going to run you at least 40 dollars.

Well if he went to a Crane style stock with the battery in it then he wouldn't need to rewire anything.

Err... wouldn't he have to rewire it so the electrical connectors so that they go to the back of the gun... where the battery is?
He said he wanted an m15 w/ a telescoping stock, the wiring goes to the foregrip on those.

If he bought the M15A4 with the full stock he wouldn't have to do anything to the wiring.  Isn't that what he said was the only one available and asked about converting?

Come here so I can tackle you.

JungleToy will have the m15a4r in tomarrow...  I may have to settle for the full size.

I take it the full size can be reconfigured sometime down the road right???  I wouldn't mind a full size for outdoors but a 10.25 and collapsable stock would be nice indoors.

I thought he was going to go for the collapsable stock version if it was avalibe. I guess we'll have to see who gets tackled after he he buys whatever is avalible.

Actually that was my first Commando, my current one used the sliding stock and battery up front.

He used the word "may"... not even a "probably". When he comes back and says "I got the one with the solid stock", then you win, and you can tackle me. Plus, I don't even think I could tackle you... [B)]

Man, you'd think that we have nothing better to do than to argue over such petty things. [:D]

JungleToy has the A4r's in stock...  i'm going to run out and grab one... SWEEET.  

Question on the commando (10.25 or so) barrel upgrade.   Do you lose a lot of velocity and range????   I've always wanted a real shorty but didn't want to deal with the 200 buck SBR and paperwork red tape.      

Actually the crane stock sounds like what I may eventually want.    I have a Vltor on one of my real m4's and the cheek weld is superb.   The Vltor is quite similar to the crane in feel.

Do you guys have a link for CA compatible parts like the crane stock and barrel upgrades???

Thanks
