Not sure if the can will fit inside the RIS. Here's the link to the suppressor: http://www.spikestactical.com/z/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=78_31&products_id=42 I had Jody make a custom end the same diameter as the m4 barrel w/ wrench flats for $44. That way the suppressor fits over it, and screws in at the front of the suppressor, giving it the short barrel look. If you need me to, I can measure the outside diameter of the can.

I used the spikes tactical car fake suppressor. I then had tacticool22.com build me a custom thread converter. Jody is great to work with over there. Yes, the suppressor fits over the barrel and gives it the look I wanted.

Wasn't difficult at all to punch out the pins. Just used a brass punch & hammer set. Thanks for the comments. First time I took it to the local range, the rangemaster just about had a cow, asking for paperwork on the can. He calmed down once I showed him it was a fake though.

I had the same exact issue as you. I ended up buying the RIS from Umarex and got rid of the front sight completely. I also bought a quad rail to cover up the holes.

Thanks I love this gun. Now that I have had about 1500 rounds through it, she runs like a champ with the Federals. Just gotta clean about every 400 rounds or so. Started out as the standard M4 (ops wasn't available), I put the colt RIS handgrips on, removed the front sight & covered the holes w/ an adjustable quad rail barrel mount. I had tacticool fab me a custom barrel thread adapter so the I could mount the spikes tactical suppressor to slip over the barrel & thread near the muzzle end. Finished off w/ your standard aluminum handgrip & for fun put the Insight M3X light from my Sig P220 on there. I like being able to remove it & put it on whichever gun I'm using. Did I say this gun is loads of fun? ;D I'm really hoping someone here comes up w/ a fix for the trigger to lighten the pull up. I don't have enough smithing skills to get in there & start messing around with it myself. BTW, I took it to a public range, and the rangemaster freaked when he saw the can. Kept asking me if I had the appropriate paperwork & such. I actually had to unscrew it to prove it wasn't real.

Here's mine. I kept the mods simple & sweet.

Hey guys just joined the site & wanted to say hello. I bought a colt a few weeks ago & wanted to share my experience with it. Based on some of the reviews I've seen, I cleaned the gun before ever taking it out. First time out, I tried the Federal & Remington bulk packs. Had numerous ftf & stovepipes w/ both brands. Very frustrating. Took gun back home, gave it a thorough scrubbing and turned the gas adjustment screw until it stopped. I also cleaned out the grease in the firing pin channel. Went back out and had much better luck with the Federal. There were still a couple jams w/ the Federal, but since I bought a 5250 case of it, I'll live with it. Hopefully that will disappear once I get a few thousand rounds through it. I also brought out a 50 pack of aguila hyper velocity, and not one single jam, but it does seem to beat up the gun quite a bit. I'd like to hear what an umarex engineer thinks about using that stuff. I'd like to try it with the CCI rounds too. Some other casual observations about the gun: - The barrel is ridiculous once you pull it out of the action. Looks like a cheap lead pipe. I've never seen a barrel that skinny. - Overall the gun is extremely realistic looking. I think they did a terrific job on that end, but they screwed the pooch w/ the magazines. I'm surprised they would go to such lengths for realism to put a nonfunctioning bolt hold open latch & forward assist, and then finish w/ a completely non-standard looking magazine. I wish they would have just used a standard modded mag, even if it meant lower round capacity. Actually I see they just came out with 20 rounders, which look to be closer to the right length. - In spite of the barrel, appears to be fairly accurate, until you start spitting out the rounds & the barrel heats up. My modded 10/22 puts this gun to shame in the accuracy dept. - Trigger pull is pretty bad. I'll be following these threads carefully to see if there is a fix. I did a few mods to customize it the way I wanted. I had a custom barrel thread adapter made for the suppressor. Also put on the quad rail barrel mount to cover up the front sight post holes. Overall I'm very happy with it. Very fun to shoot!
