There is a host of small differences due to the nature of its construction.

From the exact length of the barrel, to a different lower as will as grip.

I'll wait for someone better technically inclined than myself to comment on the details.

Okay, I did notice some things in the picture that weren't consistent with what I knew as the "CQB-R".

For a while, I actually thought the two were the same thing but with different designation. Good to know that they're different.

Should i paint it or not?

I'm generally not a fan of Armalites, but damn that is one very nice gun. Great job!

Paint that bad boy up...no doubt.

Hands down the best Airsoft AR I have scene including my own. Good job.

edit: what fps/rof are you getting with the turbo box and 120 spring?

Did you paint scratches on?

I think you overdid the scratchs, especially to reveal the Gucci markings. But it's nice anyway.

you dont need that list you have a gun. but its nice.

i love the Patch ( on the Top front region of the vest. )

Did a raccoon sneak into your gun case and scratch your gun?

Whatever abrasive you used it was too rough, you left some weird ass skid marks on your gun in places that should not have that much wear. If your gonna make it look used, do it to the entire gun and not just the body, you left your rails and panels fresh which looks retarded.

Also you should get a a legit A1 lower, sanding down an m4a1 front pin and labeling it as a A1 style is false advertisement, your still missing the back indent on the left side of the gun and the longer groove on the right side with actual trades of a A1 receiver.

These are the things I am talking about.

The gun looked nice, but the wear, as pointed out, was way overdone. Now it looks like a scratch n' win lottery ticket.

This was probably also stated before, but since you're building a VBSS gun, why would you need to paint it? You don't need to camo your gun if you're Visiting, Boarding, Searching, and Seizing. If anything, it'd be painted a dull battleship grey. Don't confuse the US Navy on ships with small contingents of the US Navy on the ground.

Moreover, your setup is not conducive to tight shipboard hatches. There's too much girth to the rig, there's too much ammo, where's your non-lethal? Your helmet also doesn't make sense as a VBSS item. You're more worried about banging your head than bullets. It looks like you just took your Iraq NSW doorkicker rig and put your VBSS gun on top of it. Different strokes for different missions. Combat ain't one-size-fits-all.

Above all, don't try to shoehorn as many acronyms into one gun as possible. It looks like you've got a hard-on for NSW stuff like we all do, but want to make it different so you tagged on the VBSS. The Mk. 18s may come out of the same Navy arsenal, but it doesn't mean that every dude running a Mk. 18 is instantly a Navy SEAL. Sometimes the guy holding the gun is just a plain john, unglorified seaman who just happens to have some extra training, and out in the middle of the Mediterranean, boarding a foreign ship seems a hell of a lot more fun than scrubbing the steam catapult again.

Stick to one setup, finish it, polish it, and then start another one. Lumping shit together is going to turn out exactly as it sounds - like shit.

Yeah looking at now..i think i OVER scratch the hell out of it.It was wasn't really about my rig.I've got my regular carbine to go with that rig.Im currently working on the 90's VBSS rig,but acquiring stuff is a bitch.Oh plus im sorry for false advertising a A1 receiver.Hence i cant find one.I tried to make is AS CLOSE as possible to the mk.18's.Thanks for the intel though.I will re-do it up.

Hey man if I have'nt said so beofre, what kind of pack is that on the back of your CIRAS and know where I can get a used one?
