CM16 MOD 0 HANDGUARD

Okay so the mod 0 lower handguard comes off for inserting the battery. I was wondering if anyone knew how to remove the top half or if the handgaurd can be completely replaced at all?

uhm - gun is front wired

so tbh, you ain't gonna improve upon it I feel without more money/time and possible rear wire or peq box

I'm assuming you wanna replace it with a rail/keymod/up front...

so your battery option(s) will have to be considered first

I feel for a front wired gun - the handguard is pretty good, bit of room/length to get a variety of batteries in there

comes with some mini rails

don't wobble much at all - some delta ring RIS's and carbine handguards are as loose as f*ck by comparison

yeah I like rear wired, but others say front wired guns are balanced better

so guess it is what you prefer, but a stock tube battery limits your options if you think of rear wiring it

I'd consider using it as it is for the moment, then when it needs a tweak/service/repair...

THEN look at options of stripping it down and rebuild & rewire blah blah blah.....

Yeah that sounds like a smart move. It's just my problem with it currently is that it's always a bit of a pain to change or even insert the battery smoothly.

Welcome to airsoft. Say goodbye to your fingertips.

Didn't give it much thought at the start, but now when I look at new guns, I always think about size of battery and how accessible it is, plus mag availability.
