PTW SPR-ish

[LUTNIT]

First off, I am not trying to simulate or replicate any real firearm or variant. I wanted a really accurate rifle for outdoor games that could quickly be swapped to a CQB capable gun. I used what is functional yet also what looked good. Without further a due:



SystemA PTW 2007 MAX M4A1 SCK
KA 12.5" two piece free floating RAS
Magpul enhanced trigger guard
KA CQB silencer
PDI 509mm stainless steel 6.04mm inner
Modified hopup (even on max the stock one wasn't enough for .28's)
Rockmount bipod (Harris clone company)
Bushnell Banner dusk and dawn 1.5-4.5x32mm scope

I find the scope on the carry handle is amazingly comfortable to see through as its just the right height. I really don't like how it looks though so I am going to be getting high scope rings and a rail riser to mount it on. Yes I put airsoft parts onto a PTW, I could care less about real steel stuff as for me its performance and cost, not bragging rights or elite-ism. I can take off the silencer, add on a normal flash hider, swap the 509mm inner for the stock M4A1 inner, put in the M90 cylinder, swap carry handle for holosight, remove bipod, and its a gun that isn't too long for CQB games and the swap over only takes 5 minutes or so. Eventually I will be buying a second upper when I get some free cash (damn photography equipment) so I can swap entire uppers instead of parts, also means I get a CQBR barrel instead of M4A1. With the M16 barrel in it and the M110 cylinder, BB Bastard .28's and modified hopup adjusted right, I can hit a torso sized target from 125' with 3 out of 7 shots with a mild cross wind. Keep in mind thats only 380fps so I can still rip in full auto.

Thought, opinions, constructive criticism? Remember that this was not intended to copy any real steel firearm.

dump the carry handle.. and why 47?

looks Hawt!

47 is because its my 47's airsoft gun, also I am a fan of the hitman codename 47 video game series.

What did you do to the hop-up?

[LUTNIT]

Sliped a guarder clear hopup nub over the stock hopup nub. At minimum hopup its still a touch too much for .25's so this is a dedicated .28+ barrel/hopup setup.

Congrats it looks nice, I'm trying to fit the spare SIR fore grip on my PTW myself and after comparing the real steel vs airsoft parts cost I decide to go for the airsoft parts it's just more economical, can't justify spending another $1000 on parts when you can spend 1/3 of that on airsoft parts

Awesome bit of kit, there.

Is that the KA front-end that used to be on your 417?

You need dolar store black tie wrap! Nice looking gun man!

My 417 had the 10" version, this is the 12.5" version for an M16.

Yeah, I know, but when I get my second upper the light will go on it so its kinda just for looks on this upper.

Aww, damn you Lutnit!! You beat me to it. I was building an SPR-ish sort-of-thing, with the PDI barrel as well. But I started with the M16A3 Gen 1 as a base gun, and made it semi-auto only with the M150. I would have had it done 100% today, but I hit a little snag with parts.

Nice modular arrangement you got there. Just like the real thing.

So, you're a Japafinn? As in a Japanese-Finnish person?

yuppers, born in Canada though, Japafinn is my second callsign I guess, local guys thought it was a really weird combination.

thanks for the comments on the gun everyone

As I said on OVA, Great job Karl, and I like the idea of just switching platforms and barrels to make it a different gun. I have done that on my SR actualy, I have it so I can switch the inner barrels fast, 455 mm and 590 mm, each with its own hopup, then just switch silencers. Also have a crane stock ready to go on after Winter, so the SPR look works man.

Oh yeah, I also find the scope on the carry handle very comfortable. Great eye level and still looks quite tactical, instead of everyone else nowadays using vert mounts and such, keeps it a bit different.
