Gotta stay cordial when you're brambling on in the blackberries.

This is why I dumped the M4 platform. Everybody and their brother has one. Dress it up how you want, it's still an M4. I won't argue that the M4 is probably the most universal platform to configure but it's not really a matter of unique the way I see it, it's a matter of uncommon. I now run a G3 SAS with an M4 LE stock adapter, peq box and stubby suppressor. Unique? not really but fairly uncommon in my area.

No production gun will ever be unique when dressed up with production parts. I don't fully understand the need to stand out as a special flower. You have a good platform, run with it if it works for you. There is hundreds of options out there to make it "yours". Be utilitarian in your design. Design it based off your needs and play style. Doing so may not make it stand out on it's own as a one of a kind blaster. But it will be your blaster. One that is comfortable for you, one that you know it's limits andit's capabilities. In the end, that's what is important.

One of the other things that makes your M4 look cool and "unique" is the stock, i think it's the gg tr16 stock that is pretty cool, the magpul acs stock is sick, get one thats not a sopmod and not a MOE and your good to go.

Yep. As long as you use it well, it may not stand out...but YOU will.

Just paint it and get a funky looking stock, like the fixed ones with the foam buffer tube, or the M4 stock designed for quick shouldering. Or, like has been stated before, move up to a more unique platform and challenge your build skills as well as your imagination.

Off topic, but I did recently fall into a blackberry bush at an airsoft game. Thank god my BDUs saved me from being shredded into a nature chew toy, but I found a huge scratch across the eye part of my goggles... Goes to show that all the danger isn't in the BBs :P.

Alright, I'm getting that "9mm conversion kit" That is awesome, and it's a good deal. I can trust eHobbyasia, correct? :D They're fairly reputable, if I'm right.

I will recomend you to have a reference photo.
Choose a REAL M4 on any REAL photo and if you like it, so try to make your M4 look the same.
That will be good if you don't want to make a shit from your AEG.

Might buy a G&P mad dog, find a way to mount a scope to it, and then use it as a sniper shotgun. :)
