Side question does anyone know if you can mechanically limit a lm4 to semi auto?

I don't know if it's been done yet (haven't looked) but I assume you have to modify the whole selector assembly so that the internal mechanism only allows partial rotation. If you are thinking of a DMR setup, I am on the same path, with just the mechanical limit of the selector switch to modify to complete the "DMR" role for this gun. I have briefly looked at how I can make the mod, but like I mentioned, have not really researched it yet.
I do hope that after all this discreditable shuffling we may be taken into action. It has a wonderful way of reconciling a man with himself: and with everybody else, sometimes. - 1st Lt. James Dillon

Yea, it's been an interesting year, I think I have only made it to one event at Sniperz Den this year. I had to drop out of one and will have missed 3 others by November, all because of work or vacation schedules. That's been the biggest obstacle. Hopefully next year we'll make more.



AH, I Just like giving you guys shit.

Besides, it's hard to afford gas to all those games when you're spending so much $$ on nice rifles !

With some JB Weld or epoxy you could fill these two channels on the fire selector, this would stop the LM4 from firing in full auto. I discovered this when I attempted to install a real AR15 fire selector. Those two channels had to be cut out into the real AR selector for the full auto to function.

I have a spare fire selector (I installed a steel Guarder), Ill mod it and see if it works correctly. Guess I got another how to video to create haha.

Filling those slots was my guess, but haven't had an opportunity to verify it. With AP's DMR rules, this is a mod I want to make, however I was hoping to find a non-permanent solution, just in case.

If you can make a how to video that would be great. Also is the inner barrel an aeg cut? If not what kind of inner barrels will work in it?

The LM4 uses a specific cut that no other GBB or AEG use, RA-Tech and KM Head make inner barrels, nothing else is compatible.

Technically NS2 barrels fit don't they? I mean, they're tiny, but maybe put an extended KWA MP7 TBB for a CQB LM4? I dunno how much length you'd lose, but just a suggestion.

I may try to make that game happen again next year. I'm hoping with how wide spread GBB rifles and SMGs are becoming, that it works this time....
