Kinger555 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Does anybody know where I can buy a piece like this without front sight? Ideally without having to buy whole outer barrel? Gun is a g&g cm16

Kinger555 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks but was thinking just the inner bit? Don't really want to buy a whole new front sight

Guest PT247 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 can you not just remove the sight by tapping out the pins? If not a 2" barrel extension should do the trick if it is threaded.

GiantKiwi Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Just thought - aren't the combat machine sights moulded on? Yes, to change the front sight post you've got to replace the entire outer barrel. Lozart 1
Hibernator Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 It's this sort of thing: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MLEmart-ACM-Airsoft-AEG-Outer-Barrel-Extension-14mm-Madbull-Compatible-/331730804243?var=&hash=item4d3cb25e13:m:mETatkTSSqWWUHeExK40fAQ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MLEmart-ACM-Airsoft-4-5-inch-AEG-Outer-Barrel-Extension-w-Stabilizer-/331734867996?hash=item4d3cf0601c:g:9EAAAOSwo3pWcjgp http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5KU-PDW-Type-Extension-Outer-Barrel-14mm-CCW-5KU-163-BK-/271735522289?hash=item3f44b303f1:g:xIoAAOSw1vlUr6aA Just search for an AEG barrel extension the length you need.
Supporters jcheeseright Posted February 1, 2016 Supporters Posted February 1, 2016 Nope, the inside isn't threaded, it slides on to a thinner 'middle outer barrel'. TM used to do them the same way back when, saves money on metal I guess. Lozart 1

TM used to do them the same way back when, saves money on metal I guess. I wondered if that was the case. In summary then - buy the part from Land warrior as linked by Berto and remove the top part of the sight or change the whole outer barrel to a solid one the right length. Or just grind it off with a dremel and repaint the end of the barrel.

I went the 'cut it off' route so I could put a 10" rail on it then pipe lagging over the barrel to deaden the sound (actually worked as a Marshall at the chrono commented on it) BTW, it's the larger inner diameter lagging I used
