I did one up and sold it for a ludicrous amount. The cheek pad was easy enough. The reproductive m84 scope mount and an actual flash hider were acquired at a gun show. Mine was pre commercial Garage AEGs so was on one of my conversions. I suspect with the ICE oversized gas assembly your flashider will not be a simple slide on proposition.

Do you have any spare parts for the scope mount? I need to try and find 1” scope rings for the repro Lyman I found. Also, does the cone detach for the M2 flashider? If I can get my hands on one temporarily, I can measure the adjusted dimensions to fit the ICS and 3d print an updated one. Updated with Lyman scope and leather cheek rest- forgive the electrical tape holding the scope on, still searching for a better mount or scope rings that fit. Going to also redrill the holes lower once I have rings that fit the scope.

The flash hired easily slips on and attached firmly to the bayonet lug. That's why I suspect a real one won't readily fit as the ICE gas assembly is wonky sized when side by side to a real one. Incidentally "Colonel" Robison from Liberty Canyon says hi.

Surprised that you weren't at Liberty Canyon this year. It was a great event. Nick really out did himself. As you know the M1C probably didn't see action in WW2 although on paper they could have.

I found some materials to fabricate some convincing M1C front flash hider cones which like the originals would slide into the muzzle using the gas assembly and bayonet lug to secure it. With some free time I'll do some up as even reproduction parts can be really expensive. I have noticed that these muzzle cones actually amplify the airsoft muzzle report which I actually like. I'll do one up for my A&K, my IC S and my conversions (actual gas assembly). The materials will be ABS but painted to hopefully look convincing?

Painted abs I think works well for the purpose of airsoft. Please let me know if you have any luck with the ICS repro flashhider- planning on using it for a VC and an advisor/ARVN Ranger kit

It would be great in such an application. I haven't taken any further efforts in pursuing this as I have been on the road travelling. I will have a lengthy break following this week through the first week of January.
