Lots of tears.

And a bit of blood.

I'll see if I can get a cost up later, I just did one for my PTW and I wasn't happy. I don't feel like going double-sadness by looking at the EBR cost too...

5.5 kg, not including battery, ammo, bipod & suppressor.

Yeah, it's what I talked to you about on MSN last night.

It's a VFC DC suppressor, but the flash hider on there is the G&P one that came with the kit. G&P is stupid in that they love to use positive threading, whereas the rest of the industry uses negative threading... as a result, I can't attach my VFC flash hider on to the EBR kit (without an ugly adapter).

And the G&P flash hider's DC (direct-connect) channel is a bit too narrow to allow the arms of the suppressor to clamp down on it. I have to widen the channel and make it about 50 thou. deeper. So in a sense, the gun's not fully complete, yet. Have to refab the flash hider, paint it, and get a bipod mount...

Yes, it would, although it'd look a bit funny due to its length (it's made to clear an extended gas bolt on the M14 series.) There's M4-specific versions available. The suppressor is the same. Just look up "Vortex" Flash Hiders.
