@Drake: I didn't know you liked Vietnam gear so much, I always figured you for a modern day army guy

I'm thinking of buying an XM-177 airsoft, wich is best in regards to look, G&P or CA? Any other suggestions?

I love that M60D, I wonder if their's a way to build it for Airsoft, with the magasine box on the back?

The term "CAR-15" covers all of the early short barreled variants of the M16; the airsoft "CAR-15" is in fact a Colt Model 607 which never went into major production. A limited number were purchased by the US Army under the designation GX-5857. Non military versions are marked Mod. 07 / Mod. 07A / Mod. 07B.

Within a year it was superseded by the Colt Model 609 and 629, the XM177 series "Commando" rifles, which did see military service. The model 619 was the Export version of the 609 and they were built in the US.
