G&P M4 Carbine MOE GBB Rifle...or?

Hello. I'm completely new to airsoft so I'm not really sure where to look, or if the gun I'm looking for is even still in production.

I'm looking for a G&P M4 Carbine MOE GBB Rifle, specifically in OD green. Does anyone know where I can find one in stock? (ehobbyasia is OOS). If need be I'm willing to swap the furniture on another gun with legit Magpul if it's not OD (since from what I understand Magpul PTS is no longer a thing).

Essentially, what I'd like to do is have a GBB rifle set up exactly like my real 14.5" AR15 I'm building so I can train with the airsoft gun in my backyard. At some point I might get into some games, but for now I'd really just like to practice for 3 gun competitions. So I guess I don't necessarily need the G&P MOE, just something that's GBB, and is compatible with real AR15 handguards, pistol grips, buttstocks, etc. It also needs to have a bayonet lug.

Any help finding the G&P, or suggestions for similar guns meeting my needs would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like you need a WE GBBR,
It's cheaper, easy to source within Canada,and it's RS parts compatible(especially external parts).

Is the charging handle RS compatible? I plan on putting a Rainier Arms Raptor on both (forgot to mention that). Thanks!

You need to mod it. Have to grind down the both the notches on the side so you can fit it into the receiver and then youll need to add some sort of drill bit at the front so it grabs the bolt carrier correctly and not stress unnecessary areas. There's a tutorial somewhere from turok_t on the forums

Depends how much you're paying for the WE M4.. if you're paying 4xx-5xx +tax, I'd go straight to GHK M4.

for performance, WE has a better 1:1 but their mags are teh sux.

They work great in the summer though

I see that there are several PTS Rainier Arms Raptors out there, will any of them fit instead? I really wouldn't want to mess up a $110 charging handle.

I also see now that there's the King Arms M4A1. Are those any good? Are the mags good? Are any PTS Raptors compatible with those?

Well if you want the most realistic and best 1:1 and closest to any ar-15 that would be a viper tech, but those run you the same as a real steel one, so.. I'd recommend you just get a WE and save the cash.

Most real-steel charging handles will fit, with some minor modifications... the PTS ones are designed for the WA system IIRC, unsure if they will fit the WE system.

I know PTS raptor is compatible with the KWA LM4 G&P, WA, Systema and the PTS MKM as a direct drop in. Unsure if mods are needed for other brands.
