To accomplish this I'd personally take a different route..

It is possible to find M4s with blank trades (I have one and they're out there). Once you have a blank-trade M4 receiver in your hands, there are people on this forum who can do perfect-looking laser engravings and such to make your trades say whatever you want them to say.

For these sorts of things you will absolutely need to get age-verified to get anywhere with it. You will find people who can point you in the right direction (even if it takes a few oddball out-of-the-way steps) if you post in the AV areas on this site.

The rest of the stuff, Elcan sights, correct-looking stocks, handguards, and Canadian-style mags are extremely easy to find. If you have your heart set on a certain receiver that isn't offered on any retail gun however, it will take some doing.
Thanks, that's really helpful. Getting C7A2, another reason is obviously the Diemaco receiver, to be as realistic as possible.

Is modifying airsoft guns legal in Canada? How can others identify the airsoft gun apart from real ones? Obviously I'm not going to walk around the city with it, just a curious question.
