G&G cm16 raider help needed.

[Berto]

So I finally got the front sight off the raider without breaking anything (and no blood, bonus!) so can any point me in the right direction for sourcing a new outer barrel that has a flip sigh that will fit? Or even an outer barrel with no front sight and I can go red dot? Or do I need a whole new barrel assembly?

 

Thanks

current ebay stuff....

second hand - dunno if polymer or metal so best ask before bidding:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Flip-Up-Sights-/281741080725?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item419913b895


new plastic probably but ok at a push from China:

ok they are plastic but if they don't wobble too much they will do ok,

gun is hardly all metal and doubt if your range is really gonna require ultra pin point accuracy

re-read post exactly what do you seek - new whole front

or just lose the fixed front sight to allow Eotech etc.... with back up flip sights

I need to loose the front sight, on the raider it's fixed to the outer barrel

This bit

[Sitting Duck]

yes but up unitl a week or two ago I thought it was held on there like most "proper M4's"

 

but it is cast or welded on so gotta be cut off

 

now there are mounts that could clamp on outer barrel and fit a stubby removable sight

but likely you will fit just the usual flip ones if fitting a scope or something else on there

 

Shame its welded on there coz was hoping to remove sight at front and fit a folding M4 sight on there

but alas the Raider sight is welded on there so that pi$$ed on my firework too

[Berto]

I think this should work

[Sitting Duck]

you got long or short Raider coz not sure exactly how that fits on the present barrel

 

that is the sort of front sight on GC16 30th - easy to detach

 

I was thinking if not mounting flip sights on raider's top rail then perhaps these:

jeeeez they are taking the mick:

then add flip or detachable front sight as needed

only thing - not sure if any of those mini rail mounts are maybe too high for detachable sight

and most likely way too low for flip sight

[Berto]

Mines a short so those mounts won't fit mine. I just want to ditch the fixed and add flip sights to the rails.

[Sitting Duck]

then just a cheapo plastic/polymer pair on top rail will suffice

 

I mean it is just a CM plastic toy gun at end of day

slap on a scopey thingy and all that but don't spend loads n loads tbh

 

remove rear sight - fit cheapo ones as long as they ain't too wobbly and be done with it

[Berto]

That's true but I still need to replace the current barrel with the fixed sight. I'm happy to have a removable one like the one I linked before

 

You might need this one if you have a L,

[Sitting Duck]

Think I will keep raider as is for now

if a GC16 front end comes up a cheap price but no biggy if not

its got the rails but tbh I mainly keep my stuff stock externally atm

 

it is a puzzler though - where do you start & where do you stop ????

You start by buying a good airsoft gun and stop before your daft enough to buy a G&G.😃

[Sitting Duck]

ooooooh ya cow.....

 

tell ya what when your Krytac breaks I lend you my B500A1

 

if I had just one good higher end gun to hand people would really see how bad I suck at this malarky

Im actually tempted to get something like a b500a1 and rebuild the internals with high end parts. Would be funny to see peoples face when you out shoot there gucci guns with a justbbguns special.

[Sitting Duck]

one of my many things I'd like to do or finish off

trouble is I take so long I often get distracted not just on here

but start on something else I come across when I look into spares box or whilst browsing for bits

 

OOOooohhh - there you are - right you was supposed to go in that other mofo

and so it sets off a chain reaction of guns in bits and stages of tweaks/rebuilds

Thats exactly why I build one at a time and why I have ordered a Krytac for my backup. Theres nothing to do to it. I rewired two for someone and they wanted to know what internal upgrades I would recommend and fit and after taking it to bits and shooting it theres honestly nothing other than rewire and change to deans. Best stock gun internals I have ever seen.

[MxHaze]

I dont get why you've removed the front sight but now want a new outta?

 

Why mod it if you're replacing it.

[MxHaze]

What krytac did you get?

[Berto]

So I got a new outer barrel sorted for the Raider

 

Old one

 

New one with removable sight

What on earth happened to the green on that gun?

[Berto]

No idea, but fairy power spray barely touches it. Looks like a sand down and re spray is needed.
