A few AR-15 airsoft questions.

[General Mcclintock 0]

Now I stated this was for airsoft however it does relate to the real M-16 as well.

Lately I went out and purchased myself a M16A4 airsoft, or to be precise a Classic Army Armalite M15A4 rifle with upgrades to 450 FPS.

But my general question here starts when I want to add an M203 grenade launcher to it (Airsoft replica of it) and I can't say I have had any luck finding what I seek under that catagory.

I have located an M203 grenade launcher, or rather two types that could be used but both of them features a problem I don't want.

I prefer the M16 look with a M203 but with the stock handguard, no RIS style rail and not the vented handguard we see on the M16A2 in Flashpoint.

Looking around for alternatives that allows me to mounting has made me look outside the airsoft group and into what is offered for the real AR-15 line of weapons, seeing as my airsoft rifle is a true replica of the real deal exterior wise I do not see much of a problem finding something and bolting it on.

What you can call my roll call here is for those who knows the AR-15 series of rifles and especially those who has handled the M203 if they are aware of any rails out there that can be used?

I have located one made by RM Systems, called "Interbar" that serves my purpose fairly well, problem is I cannot find anybody that sells it.

I have a last option in the M203 department and that is purchasing an extra set of handguards and cutting them to accomodate the launcher.

Link to the M203 systems I am looking at:

The M203 mounts

The M203 launcher

I am greatful for any help I can get on this matter.

There's an airsoft thread somewhere.

Thanks for the thread, but my question also relates to the AR15 series in general, meaning the real deal that loads .223 or 5.56mm NATO.

As I probably will have to look for accessories made for the real M16.

I don't really understand your problem. With those 2 kits you should be able to fit the M203 on your gun the way you want right?

It will fit allright, but the problem is the fact that I have to use the new handguard type on top.

Let me show the difference on the real deal:

Here is the M16 with a M203 but this gun has the front grip that I do not want on my gun at all.

M16 M203, standard army issue handguard

Here we got a 3D model representing the way I want the M203 to look like (To some extent at least):

M16 M203 with the standard handguard

As you can see, I want to retain my standard handguard on the gun while still mounting a M203.

The main problem is that the M203 mounts I showed earlier on requires me to remove the handguard and put on the holed type that you see earlier in this post.

The other option is the RIS rail that gives me a 20mm rail to bolt on a M203 however that also screws up the original handguard that I seek to retain.

I have found this however, but no place where they sell it:

http://www.rm-equipment.com/ They have the interbar that seems to be a snap on rail that allows for 20mm bolt ons.

I have no problem getting an airsoft M203 with a 20mm rail designed for RIS systems, but then I would require this rail that RM Equipment sells which I have yet to locate a store for.
