You can always cut the barrel down to the length you want.Its not hard to do,admittedly recrowning will take longer because the one you want is stainless.
m4 project
Hello!
I am very interested in buying an m4 body and buying the small parts to make it function. I already have a full body set in mind (the G&P Magpul Type Metal Body for Marui M4) that includes a New Dust Cover Set, New Bolt Cover, Metal Hop-Up Set, Receiver Pin Set and a Forward Assist Knob.
What other parts do I need for it to fully work that way I can just insert my GB into it and have it working.
So far i know i need:
- Selector switch (do i need two, one for each side?)
- Mag catch
- Bolt catch (Now i found the normal paddle shaped one and an ICS one with a wire cover. What is that?)
- Is there a bolt catch spring?
- Charging handle
- Charging handle spring
That's all i got so far.
My goal is to have it in fully functioning mechanical order before placing in the GB.
Am I missing anything else?
Thanks! All help and advice is greatly appreciated!

I actually thought about it but was hesitant because it is steel. Would you recommend I use a dremmel? Also I am not too familiar with the barrel crown at the end. Does it need to be any specific angle? What tool should I use to re-crown it after I cut?uller said:You can always cut the barrel down to the length you want.Its not hard to do,admittedly recrowning will take longer because the one you want is stainless.

I like to use a break line tubing cutter when cutting down barrels,but a dremel will work.Just get yourself a metal cutting disc and have at it.Just make sure you cut it straight.For crowning,use a hard cone shaped grinding wheel on your dremel at low speed.Applying oil while grinding the crown will save your stone,and keep you from burning up the barrel.
For ease buy a Full metal body with all the trimmings. Then buy a barrel, RIS stock, maybe buffer tube, barrel hop up unit and gearbox.
And don't get a fagpul body, Get a KA or vltor or something or other.

What really? Why not magpul? I've been eyeing that body for a long time now for my new project! It looks fabulous! What's your reasoning?inthetallgrass said:For ease buy a Full metal body with all the trimmings. Then buy a barrel, RIS stock, maybe buffer tube, barrel hop up unit and gearbox.

I'm pretty sure thats it
I admit to haveing magpuls on my mag and an AFG but other than that, No. They are over-rated over-priced pieces of crap with a brand written all over them.
I see where you're coming from and to an extent I do agree but this is an exception as I am trying to stick to a specific design theme and the Magpul body happens to fit it exactly to my plan.inthetallgrass said:I admit to haveing magpuls on my mag and an AFG but other than that, No. They are over-rated over-priced pieces of crap with a brand written all over them.
