So I installed a WA barrel onto my WE M4 using the Tonic Airsoft Adaptor. I could have gone without it, but my build is a C8 and that requires a triangle sight, thus the barrel had to be properly indexed.

There's really not much to say about this adaptor. The end that fits into the receiver fits perfectly, the end that fits into the WA barrel... not so much. They made a good engineering choice to radius the joint between the lug and the body of the adaptor. However, when the lug fits into the cutout on the WA barrel, it won't go in as this radiusing gets in the way. I had to spend some time delicately filing the cutouts on the WA barrel on the inside of the barrel, so that the adaptor could fit.

TL ; DR- It works well, provided you slightly modify your barrel with a file. Only really necessary if you're running a triangle sight or are really OCD over the barrel cutouts being lined up properly.
