If you had a really stubborn friend who wanted to mount an MOE handguard to his ICS M4, what would you tell him?

Go ahead, but you'll need a real-steel style delta ring. Classic Army is your best bet.

Not compatible, according to XM's spreadsheet.

Get a new delta ring.

I'll second the CA delta ring statement. There are some others you can use, Hurricane makes one for example, but the only one I have any experience with is the Classic Army. It worked fine. While we're on the topic of polymer handguards, has anyone used the AR-15 Tapco Intrafuse handguard set on an airsoft gun?

Ive got a 2003-2005 and the threads on the upper receiver are non-compatible. Anyone point me to a nice cheap deltaring/ris unit?

XavierMace · « **Reply #1205 on:** February 03, 2011, 06:00:55 AM »

You mean beyond the recommendation in the posts right above yours?

Molder · « **Reply #1206 on:** February 03, 2011, 10:14:25 PM »

Ive tried classic army, it wont fit. Any specific brands that will work.

XavierMace · « **Reply #1207 on:** February 03, 2011, 10:20:06 PM »

Try harder.

As I've explained before, it's airsoft. Either be prepared for hit and miss or be prepared to make modifications. If you've read the thread, you've seen myself and others have both used CA rings without issue. There's no such thing as "guaranteed to work".

DHM78 · « **Reply #1208 on:** February 03, 2011, 10:25:47 PM »

I should add, it's a pretty tight fit. XM's try harder advice might not sound too great, but in this case you actually have to try pretty hard. If you're not using an armorer's wrench, I'd suggest trying one. CA isn't exactly known for tolerances, so it may be harder for some than others.

That said, I'd recommend sanding down the threads first and shoving an upper gearbox in so you don't over torque the receiver and crack it.

I have an ICS M4 and I bought a gearbox for it and when I put it in the rifle it wouldnt fore and it says I need to buy a lower gearbox for it, doees anyone have any info on that

XavierMace · « **Reply #1211 on:** February 27, 2011, 07:57:44 PM »

What?

The Funk · « **Reply #1212 on:** February 27, 2011, 08:11:03 PM »

Now did you buy a complete standard V.2 GB or just the upper half of the ICS gearbox?...

Deus Ex · « **Reply #1213 on:** February 28, 2011, 11:03:16 AM »

The top gearbox is an MA 57 while the lower is a MA 47 or 48 but it won't fire

Apotheosis · « **Reply #1214 on:** February 28, 2011, 11:07:01 AM »

What does that even mean?

XavierMace · « **Reply #1215 on:** February 28, 2011, 03:59:45 PM »

Does it make any noise? Did you follow the instructions when putting the gun back together? Do you feel the motor trying to cycle?

Deus Ex · « **Reply #1216 on:** February 28, 2011, 06:58:36 PM »

I built it together by the instructions but its not working with the lower gearbox

XavierMace · « **Reply #1217 on:** February 28, 2011, 07:12:17 PM »

Did you make sure the gears were properly rotated before closing the two halves together?

Deus Ex · « **Reply #1218 on:** February 28, 2011, 08:32:25 PM »

Yeah I built it exactly to instruction and made sure it was properly rotated

XavierMace · « **Reply #1219 on:** February 28, 2011, 08:58:14 PM »

We need more details then on what exactly is happening. Pictures would be helpful too.

Deus Ex · « **Reply #1220 on:** March 01, 2011, 11:18:51 AM »

well when I fire a hear it catch but its really weak and long between shots, like click............click.......click,

XavierMace · « **Reply #1221 on:** March 01, 2011, 04:28:17 PM »

So it does actually fire?

Deus Ex · « **Reply #1222 on:** March 01, 2011, 08:31:23 PM »

No, it spins it just doesn't fire I don't know why

XavierMace · « **Reply #1223 on:** March 01, 2011, 10:28:38 PM »

Is the piston stripped?

This happened to my stock piston recently and had to replace it. The gears would spin, but the gun didn't fire because the end of the piston had been ripped off.
