Included with the gun and magazine is a King Arms Quick BB loader to make reloading easy. The flip up front and rear sights make the King Arms 556 ready for optics. Finally, given it’s length and retractable stock, the 556 is ideal for both indoor CQB and outdoor field play.

Also for enhanced looks SOCOM Gear has added and engraved slide, lower frame and chamber; as well as a 3 hole trigger, skeleton hammer, and beaver tail.

Magpul has made an excellent reputation for themselves with their wide range of accessories and parts for real steel firearms. They are one of the first manufacturers that has embraced Airsoft as an acceptable form of training and simulation for real world simulation. Recently they have embarked on their own line of Airsoft accessories, such as stocks, magazines, etc.
The MagPul MBUS Back-Up Sights are a great innovative flip sight system for the M4/M16. Both front and rear sight bolt firmly to the weaver rail. Each sight is spring loaded in the down position with ambidextrous release buttons. These are great back up sights for any gun with a continuous flat top rail.

Also from MagPul, CTR Battery stock w/ 9.6v Intellect Battery.  The MagPul PTS CTR Battery Stock is a special 6 position MagPul stock with cheek riser that cleverly conceals the included battery. The top of the CTR Stock, and buffer tube, has been left open to make room for the battery and wires. This kit comes complete with everything required to install to an M4/M16; the stock wires with connectors and heat shrink, the buffer tube spacer, and the stock retention screw and half washer to run the wires through the buffer tube.
