excellent low cost and simple alternative, it would absolutely work.
You'd lose a little bit in mag capacity, but you wouldn't notice since the box is already 2000-2500 rounds.
I'd prefer hooking an LED into the brass feed tube on the G&P, or the hop chamber on the CA. The reflective tape on the inside of the box would certainly help eliminate the light getting through the plastic and reduce your signature under NV. However, just like my current LED in box method, you need to get those charged BB's through a 50-60 round feed tube before they get to the barrel.
It's not a major issue, but if you don't shoot for a while, you need a good 30 round burst before you start getting lit tracers again.
So way cheaper and way easier than installing an LED in your feed path, and it will work, it just won't be more efficient.
