Here is my situation: I live in the Northwest burbs of chicago aka Naperville
I lost my gun tools when I moved from my old house and I am leaving on vacation on friday for 3 weeks to Arizona to visit family. I need to install a new upper on my M4A1- but I cannot get the handgaurds off and cannot get the barrel off without a vice grip (for fear of damaging it) This might be a little out of the ordinary, but I need physical help to do so along with tools. I can pay someone to help me install this new upper. I already have the gun completely field stripped but cannot go past that point. I have a legit FOID card and license and w/e else and I am willing to pay someone 50 or 60 dollars. Currently I am free wednesday before 11 or after 3 or thursday before 2 and after 6 and friday before 11 or after 3 Thanks! ~~~ Ryan ~~~ |

I have the gun completely field stripped.
I cannot get the following items off: 1) handgaurd 2) barrel from upper 3) gas tube (this will come out easily after I can get the handgaurd off) Tools that I lost during my move: Delta ring tool, my gun vice grip When I get those 2 parts off then I can remove the gas tube and place in the new upper and then attach the barrel with the new upper The estimated time this installation will take with the proper tools and experience is probably under 20minutes Thanks! ~~~ Ryan ~~~ |

Basically,
I have my bushmaster M4A1 that has a handle on it. I purchased a stripped upper flat top (pictany rail), I want to take off the older A1 handle and then put the newer upper (A3 flat top)on there. http://img.redwolfairsoft.com/upload/product/img/SRC-AEG-M4A1FM-L.jpg This what a my gun looks like before the conversion http://www.snipercountrypx.com/popup.aspx?src=images/PRODUCT/large/00102.jpg I want to keep the same barrel, lower, front sight, gas tube but just swap out the old upper for my newly purchased flat top (link below)http://www.galatiinternational.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=GIO&Product_Code=MD112 I hope this better description helps! I have the gun completely field stripped- all thats left is my old upper with gas tube, barrel, and front sight. Thanks! ~~~ Ryan ~~~ |
