Gunsmith Master – Part 9 is the thermal M4A1 build with an FDE NT4 suppressor and MK10 handguard. This is not the ordinary USEC Gunsmith – M4A1 task; its weight limit and required attachments are different.
Objectives
- Modify an M4A1 to comply with the given specifications
Weapon specifications
- 60 Durability
- 40 or more ergonomics
- 280 or less recoil
- 5 kg or less in weight
- A magazine with a capacity of at least 60
- KAC QDSS NT4 5.56×45 sound suppressor (FDE)
- AR-15 Alexander Arms MK10 rifle length handguard
- Trijicon REAP-IR thermal scope
How to complete the build
Fit the Trijicon REAP-IR, FDE KAC NT4 suppressor, rifle-length MK10 handguard and a magazine holding at least 60 rounds.
The thermal sight makes this an expensive build, so check your access to the required parts first. Weigh the assembled rifle rather than relying on the weight of the base M4A1.
Check the complete weapon in the inspection window before handing it over. The quest checkmark can be inconsistent even when a build qualifies, so a missing marker alone does not prove the weapon cannot be submitted.
