What do you mean inexpensive?? Some cost $400 and some cost around $100, we need a price range. And do you mean RIS/RAS with the barrel and sight?
Give us more detail |

| You're not going to find a M16 RAS for that price range. If you had a M4, you could get one for $80 at lowest. |

Your best chance (note: not guarantee, just a likelihood of a Souske-type mod) is buying a ToyStar M16A4 Spriger, cannibalizing the foregrip, and then you'll have an SRC M16A4 MWS and ToyStar M16A3.
I don't know how many times I can yell at people about this
BEST PLACE TO BUY THE M5 RAS is Airsplat -- it's true, I'm only obligated to tell everybody because they sent me one free.
It's a VERY nice unit -- just need trademarks and more versatile delta tensioner system. |

| Heh heh, my "Souske-type mod" was super 'ghetto' cheap with the cruddy Well M4 RIS before I upgraded to a SRC one. But yes, a Toystar M16A4 springer seems promising. |

I'm not brave enough to spend $75 on that...
I meant the Souske comment in the most positive light -- I'm still considering doing that on my M4
Do you still have your RAS unit? |

| Well, I'm sure it's alright, but I can buy used Marui, CA, ICS, G&P, or G&G ones for $70-$90. |

| Hmm... If any one is interested, I can get you that CA M5 RAS for quite a bit less than airsplat. While in Hong Kong I picked up a CA M5 RAS and a GB-Tech PRI style handguard because I didn't know which I wanted to use at the time. I went with the PRI handguard, so I've got a brand new M5 RAS just sitting here in the box. |

hah... thought you were talking about something else...
anyway, i have heard of i know this sounds crazy, but people welding 2 ris's together and shortening to make an m16 ris...
but in my opinion why ruin 2 m4 ris's dor the same price as one m16 ris?
Steve
p.s. at this point, looking for an m16 length ris, i would honestly recommend finding a springer with correct length rails and stealing that baby.
m16 ris's are NOT cheap. |

| For now -- sadly your best hope is the ToyStar M16A4 and hoping it works... And them recoop costs by putting the old M16A3 handguards on it. |
