[QUOTE="GC7, post: 1313390, member: 2455"] One thing I've actually heard is that the orange tip is only required as a federal shipping regulation. Once you actually take possession of the airsoft, you are free to remove the orange tip. Plenty of these airsoft sites now also sell plastic knock-off flash hiders and suppressors. Example: [URL="http://www.ebairsoft.com/aabb-silencer-flash-hider-short-p-3230.html"]http://www.ebairsoft.com/aabb-silencer-flash-hider-short-p-3230.html[/URL] [attach=full]80005[/attach] I could see airsoft as a fun way to seriously trick out an AR without the huge investment. In fact, you could use it as an "appearance configuration" platform because most real AR components you can buy for "real steel" have been copied (sometimes illegally) into airsoft form. Then, you'll know how the AR would feel in terms of bulkiness, usability, etc.. and then buy the actual thing. [/QUOTE]
