Making my own gun

[Boogey_Man]

After playing at the field for the first time, I'm thinking of making my own m4. I'm going to look for the parts and things I need, But are there any recommendations?

[Wolf]

buy a jg m4 from asgi for 115 shippped

[ZDiesel]

I think he means he wants to build his own M4 from scratch Wolf...in which case I would advise against it because it gets very expensive compared to just buying a pre-assembled gun and upgrading it

[Redrover]

Diesel is right. When I first started I bought a parts D-Boy M4 for cheap and tried to build my own M4 from a broken gun...yeah, mistake. Everything went wrong and I wound up just getting rid of everything. I probably could do it now that I know a little bit more about hop-ups and such, but I would have poured a lot of money into that gun.

My advice is to buy a G&G Combat Machine M4, leave it stock for a while, and then little by little upgrade it if you decide you need to. Then, down the line once you've learned a few things about airsoft guns, and come to love airsoft and feel the need to spend almost all your spare cash on it (as I do >_>), you can build yourself a nasty little M4.

If you do want to "build" your own gun start with a stock gun that can take a lot of different up grades then overtime add a rail system, stock, barrel, flash hider, scope or what ever you want.   if your budget for the gun is under $150 go with the combat machine, however if you have a budget of about $250 look on airsoftgi they just got a basic G&P m4 with crane stock which will allow you to change out the front end of the gun without having to worry about wiring.   Also remember that a lot of stock guns for around $200 are now coming with rail systems and stuff.

I think I'll go with Wolf right now, I've always been aiming at a gun with an FPS of 360+, but I'll have to look into this.

[Fire Cracker]

just an fyi, the FPS isnt accurate on websites, no matter what store it is, so its probly lower than that. And besides, fps isnt everything. I rather have low FPS and Range and Accuracy, rather than high fps with low range.

My dad says I can probably order my gun this sunday, and hopefully, I'll get it the sunday after this one. This is what I'm going to stick with.
