So I had some time last night and worked on the 2007 M16 PTW, I swapped the A2 upper with an A4 and changed the delta ring to the modern version. LOL good thing I have a lot of spare components, I also rebuilt the hopup unit from a spare unit that I have, the one that came with the gun was in terrible shape. The electronics are also wonky, there’s no active breaking and I think it’s due to the EL003 board being burnt out.

Heh now my AR PTW family is complete at the top is the 2012 MK18 Mod 1, the factory 2007 M4A1 is in the middle and at the bottom the newest addition the 2007 M16A4. 🙂

The blue cylinder that came with the M16 shoots at a nice consistent 400 fps and I’m glad to have another high powered cylinder. I’ll be ordering replacement FCC electronics soon, the motor should be ok as it’s an old Systema 480 which is reliable. Mario has kindly offered to give me his spare lower receiver so I’ll grab that as it’s probably in better shape than the “C8” receiver on the gun right now. I also need to get a M16 length gas tube and an A2 pistol grip…

It’s going to be a fun project and I’m glad Maggie isn’t giving me too much grief… Let’s see how long that lasts lol!
