The Classic Army RAS frontend does not come with an extra barrel or anything extra, just the locking pin and some extra screws as you can see in the pic below - does this mean the stock TM barrel will extend the correct length, or will I have to get a barrel extension as well?
The fact that the Classic Army RAS front end is a shade off the black color thats stock for the TM G36C doesn't bother me as much anymore. I've seen 6ft4's carry-handleless G36's and I'm very inspired. $200 may seem a bit much for my first external upgrade, but most certainly something to aim for in the future.
So my next question is... better battery or larger magazine next? I have the supplied 8.6v 600mah battery that came with my gun, and the 50rd lo-cap magazine. I would like some mid-caps for sure and was advised against getting a 470rd hi-cap; I can defintiely see some advantages to having a larger magazine. Battery life is definitely going to be an issue in the field, not so much when I'm doing target practice at home. I'm playing during the day, so any lighting options would be purely esthetic. I guess some optics would be the next step, and I'm heavily leaning towards a 552-type replica.
Thanks again for all your help, I appreciate all the information
