Gun has not arrived yet so no picks....to refraze my question....if anyone has any experience with that configuration, I'm looking for general comments on performance, ease of intallation etc...

well... as long as you got the RIS Mount for the M203... its as easy as attaching any accessory. (ie. a vertical grip)

easiest is a madbull launcher, it attached to the RIS, they are very simple to operate no complex springs or trigger that can break, it's so robust I bought three to launch my CO2 madbull nades. if you want looks then go with either a G&P or Classic Army 203 but be aware that if you are using the mad bull CO2 nades you need to upgrade the trigger, spring and firing pin they are made of pot metal and it will break

I think the RIS mount 203's are ugly as sin and feel very UNergonomic. They cause the launcher to sit about 1-2" lower than they normally would, making the gun very awkward to handle, as your hand is quite far from the bore at that point.

IMO, there's only ONE way to mount a 203 to an AR, and that's through the Military Model barrel mount. Considering it's a SOPMOD build, go with the QD front barrel mount. The SOPMOD lower handguard should come off easily to make installation and removal quick and easy.

Just keep in mind that if you are going to use the madbull CO2 Nades keep some trigger parts around, depend on the manufacturer the first thing to go on these are the firing pin, then it will be the triggers (I have had 2 set of triggers replaced on my G&P Long 203 launchers and 3 sets of trigger and trigger spring on my classic army) but if you are using propane propelled nades then you are fine

K, so links to your gun and the M203 you bought would help.

Rail mounted 203's are ugly and as mentioned before, unergonomic. Get a barrel mounted one.

Now that's what I'm talking about!!! Thanks por the pick....

[MMatersk]

Ya, that looks very good. Now I want one too

Depending on your rail system you will also have wobble.

Barrel mount. Period.
