Changing receivers

turok_t · May 1st, 2009, 22:15

Hey guys, im thinking about getting the G&G GR16 R4 Commando that comes with the plastic lower receiver since its difficult for me in finding a full metal M4. However, Im planning to purchase/install a full metal receiver. Will all metal receivers be compatible with this G&G AEG?? Thanks guys

Changing the recievers are very easy. Depends which metal body you get. Higher cost of the metal body = the quality of the metal body (KingArms, G&P).

Thanks for your reply Hitman. So I know that the higher the cost of the metal body, the higher the quality of the metal body. Do u know which metal bodies are compatible with G&G M4's? Thanks

All of them except for systema I would assume. And you would be getting a top and lower reciever so they would fit perfectly together anyways.

Just be aware when you get a metal body, you do not always get the hardware for it, it's usually just the body. Armalites (M4/M16) for example typically do not come with body pins, dust cover, fake bolt, trigger guard, sights, charging handle & spring or mag release. You have to get these either from the gun you're replacing the body on (providing they're not cheap shit and are compatible) or from hardware kits.

I here there are some metal bodies to stay away from, Is this true?

dpvu · May 2nd, 2009, 04:09

Dboys is the lower end of the metal bodies. They're cheap, readily available but also have some issues with fitment. Expect to do a few modifications on the body to get everything to work (I'm still tinkering with one here).

So what is the ideal company to go with for a reciever?

Would you be able to give me some sort of idea as to exactly what type of modifications you are having to do with a D-boys metal reciever for proper fitment..I'm guessing a dremel tool is essential?..I am thinking of a D-boys metal reciever just because of the availability...will it be more of a headache to work with ?..would it be advisable to try to locate a better quality reciever..just to avoid the potential frustration?..EDWARD

Can a real steel 80% finished lower reciever be fitted for an AEG?

dpvu · May 2nd, 2009, 04:36

Very unlikely. A PTW can take modded upper receivers but that's about it.

cdn-mfg-AirsoftAssault.com · May 2nd, 2009, 04:41

I have a friend on here that is a land weapons tech and he has a PTW with a real steel upper and he has been talking about the specs of an 80% finised lower being compatible with some mod to fit the lower part of the PTW. Can you confirm this?

yuhaoyang · May 2nd, 2009, 05:21

I kinda doubt it, because a RS gun doesn't have gears...
Anyways, G&P is probably the best, then King Arms, then CA.

Seriously?

I see full metal M4's for sale in the classifieds far more often than M4 recievers.
