Nope.

ICS Mechboxes are only compatible with ICS bodies.

Unlike regular mechboxes, it consists of an upper and lower.

ICS use proprietary body and does not work with TM compatible body. I've seen some people use TM compatible bodies on their ICS, but there is a lot of work to be done for it to work.

Like mention before. Short answer is No. That won't work with an ICS mechbox. If you really want that body to fit an ICS mechbox, you'll have to spend a lot of time modding the shit out of it for it to work. And if you screw up, well you just wasted $200+.

No, you just can't.

The ICS receivers are made longer than the TM based ones... to keep scale closer to the real thing. You would need to make a custom receiver out of a block a aluminum to make it fit. While not impossible, defenitely not cheap.

Metal ICS bodies come lightly engraved with Olympic Arms trades; djbordie does custom engraving on these boards. If you have your heart set on a Magpul body, get an ICS lower, sand it of any trades and contact him. Paint her up and you'll have the only Magpul ICS M4 that I know of...

Why would you want a PTW?

If you want realism -- Go for the popular WE GBBRs -- will run you between $450-$650 (plastic/metal receiver). There is a Magpul CNC Aluminum receiver available as well (expensive, however).

If you want reliability -- Go for any G&P M4/M16 variant. Magpul receivers also available.

There was a member that has an ICS with a D-boys receiver. I wonder how that was done.
