hey hey now this is my first AEG so sorry if i get a little excited lol.. next will be the moe pistol grip, which i understand might be a pain too, then the ubr stock.. and lastly internals..

so how i did this was i got my hands on a rs style delta ring that matches the threads on the ics reciever (aparently the KA ones work) and just any old rs style handguard cap. On the reciever end of the ics outer barrel there are 2 tabs either side of the barrel that you need to dremel down so that the KA delta ring will fit all the way down. take the old handguard cap off and put the new one on the same way but add a small washer on the screw because the hole in the rs style one is bigger than the ics screw. Once these are installed you can basically put any aftermarket handguard on, i just found that i needed to adjust the outer barrel length at the joint near the front sight because the ics handguards are slightly shorter than normal. and there you go. i was actually gonna write a tutorial but i thought it might be too witty for my first real post. i have pictures if you need.
