I'm also looking to build a C7A2 or C8A2 replica, depending on which base gun I end up getting. I'm currently looking at a couple of used TM M4, but thinking I might prefer a full-length M16 model instead for the C7 (in that case, a new, but more expensive CA M15A4 rifle from 007). And the full metal body of the CA is more attractive than the ABS TM, even though the TM is a fine gun in its own right.

I'm not anal about making it a 100% faithful reproduction of the real steel, but I do want the green furniture (including the collapsable stock) that I will paint myself with Krylon OD, and I already have a reproduction ELCAN sight on the way. I'm not worried about small specifics like the TRI-AD mount, since I don't see myself needing accessories.

However, the one thing that I would love is to get the ribbed magazines to complete the look of the gun. Which would be the best brand to get, preferable in low cap if available? I would prefer not get hi-cap, because I hate winding (have that on my AK and ordered some low caps instead).
