I don't know how many of you are running AWSS M4/M16s out there, but I wanted to share a project that I'm working on.
In one of the links in the OP (The WE M4 Wiki) - in the Modifications section - there is an article for modifying the selector to only shoot SEMI.
Here is the direct-link for the Semi-only mod.

How many of you out there with M4/M16s find this useful?
I was immediately smitten by it, simply because I want to use one lower, and have multiple uppers to satisfy multiple needs (DMR, CQB, etc...).
Here in Manitoba, the MAA has set regulations (which may have changed since I've last checked) on FPS allowing sniper rifles that shoot semi-only to achieve up to 470fps (or was it 490?) with .2g BBs.
Now, I don't typically fire full-auto unless I'm running my LiPo-driven Troy M7A1, so the way I see it - I can have two uppers outfitted for two different purposes simply by modding my rifle to semi-auto only.
My M16A3 upper shoots ~480fps w/.2g BBs as it is. I'm in the process of building a new CQB upper that I will tune to ~350fps to comply with local area rules.
Has anyone tried this mod yet? Anyone willing to share their results?
I'm definitely going to give it a try. I have a new selector on order, and as soon as it arrives - I'll let you guys know how it worked for me.
