Hoozy Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 Hey everyone, I’ve recently acquired my friend’s 2 year old, completely stock, CM16 Mod 0. My plan is to fit a 455mm 6.03 barrel with a mock suppressor. My question is how easy would it be to replace the hand guard with a different RIS? As this gun is front wired it would mean either rear wiring it or finding another solution. Any idea’s or advice would be appreciated!
AshOnSnow Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 what do you actually want to change it to? Looks like tango down pistol grip with MOE stock, vertical grip and handguard (handguard will come in different lengths and handy for front wired guns - but don’t really have much to do with inner barrel length). Not sure at the moment why changing the inner barrel would require you to fit a new handguard?
Supporters Gepard Posted April 12, 2018 Supporters Posted April 12, 2018 I just underwent this project with my MOD 0. In the end I had to buy a new outer barrel, gas tube and handguard. To accommodate the battery I use a dummy PEQ box. It was a pain for me the first time but now I know what I'm doing it's a very easy process. Takes no longer than 5 minutes. Here's the discussion I had:

The inner barrel will be changed regardless, I just want to change the handguard because I’m not a fan of its design haha! 10 hours ago, Gepard said: I just underwent this project with my MOD 0.

Is it possible to completely remove the delta ring so it’s more or less seamless from receiver to RIS? As in a keymod style or something like that?

You first remove the gas block, shroud and gas tube, then turn the barrel nut until it is loose. After that you can just pull the delta ring off and behind it is a piece of metal (forget the name) which twist off to reveal threads. If you need it I can make a video showing how to remove it. It was a little confusing for me at first.

So I could simply thread a new RIS on, feed the battery connectors out of the RIS into a dummy battery box and jobs a good one!

Don't expect movie quality production.
Supporters Gepard Posted April 12, 2018 Supporters Posted April 12, 2018 Here you go. Apologies for the quality. Poor lighting and video from an LG G4C don't mix. Hopefully it will help.
Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted April 12, 2018 Mostly Retired Moderators Posted April 12, 2018 Not movie quality. 2/10 would not watch again.
Hoozy Posted April 12, 2018 Author Posted April 12, 2018 Thanks for that, that’s fantastic mate! Makes my job a lot easier. Shame it isn’t in IMAX 3D but maybe next time
M4gick Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 Hi there mate, just out curiosity what did you do with the battery on your gun? Is it in a PEQ or did you rear wire it? I've got the same gun and the handguard doesn't seem very solid on it. Did you have to change the inner / outer barrels to accommodate your new handguard at all?
