M16 A4

Suggestion

Bsg should totally add in the rails and barrels and the A2 stock to make a m16, I would love to play around with that, and possibly a burst setting

Adding the handguard, 20” barrel, A2 stock and A4 upper would not make it an M16. Just a rifle length M4A1.

Needs to be an entirely new receiver, you know, the M16 receiver.

Just call it an M16A3 and be done with it.

Or are they not compatible?

Yes for A2 stock though.

What I would like is a Mk12 SPR upper+barrel.

They are very compatible. But that would still just be a rifle length M4.

You mean the MK12 handguard, not upper. That’s not the special bit.

Original m16 was full auto.

Yes, I know that. The original M16 and then the M16A1 were both full auto as well as the A3.

But what does that have to do with anything in my comment?

True I meant barrel+handguard, but as far as I can tell SPR barrel+handguard is often sold as a package with the upper, but I guess any upper will do.

Oh FFS you know damn well the functional difference is nonexistent. The lowers are exactly the same minus the engravings. The only difference internally is the 100% compatible trigger packs and even then, A3 vs A4. Whoopty fuckin doo bro

I know. I know they're the same thing, a M16A3 and M4A1 lower, but the facts are if you stick a 20" barrel and A2 stock onto a M4 lower then it's just a rifle length M4.

I mean yeah man technically but hell, OP only meant in the functional sense lol. Yeah they'd probably have to add another new lower since BSG made the lower, LPK, FCG, and BCG all in one item to make a burst fire version but I digress

OP wanted a burst to be imagined into the M4 lower. Which would be functionally and visually different to that of the M16A3 and M4A1 lowers.

I know the varitions, I don't care what it's called, all I want is the full length knights quad rail and the A2 stock

Then ask for that. And only that. Don't try and change how things work.

What's particular about the m4 receiver ?

Burst fire vs full auto

I thought only the A2 and the Marine corps version of the A4 had burst modes.

2

All versions of the A4 are burst.

Also the M4 has burst, while the M4A1 is F/A.

I just want the rifle length knights a4 quadrail, and the A2 stock. Burst settings just would be nice to play with, idc what the receiver or anything says.

A2 and A4 are burst only. A3 is full auto.
