Shaun Haynes Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Due to hopefully get a new ares (stubbym4 ) cqb rifle next month. Typically I'm to do it after I've just brought a tracer for my cm16. The ares has a cw barrel thread the cm16 is ccw and I can't find any cw tracer unit I've found an adapter made my madbull anyone uses one before and can anyone vouch for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I’ve used a bunch of adapters, madbull are fine, Lees Precision Engineering are also fine. The issue is tightening up, you really need to thread lok one part, as doing up one indies the other unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scalawag Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Yeah I have used several pistol adaptors. Definitely need the thread lock on one side or other of the adapter as rocketdogbert said (I usually go for the suppressor/tracer side). If you don't do it then when you screw it onto the barrel you will just get to the point where the thread starts to tighten and the opposite thread will start to unwind.

Shaun Haynes Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 How will I know if it has thread lock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scalawag Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Thread lock is like a sort of glue you put on the threads to lock it in place. It will lock the threads tight after it is set, but can still be removed if it ever needs to be. I use the loctite version: https://www.amazon.co.uk/LOCTITE-1960969-Strength-Thread-Locker/dp/B00DVHAAV8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1518710071&sr=8-4&keywords=threadlock+blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
