Danbartlett46 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Evening! Coming up to Ukara day and looking to change my handguard on my CM16 Raider to a metal option. I've ordered/test fitted one from amazon. The thread on the barrel nut seems to be to big for the receiver part on the gun. I used thread tape to bulk out the threads but ultimately not happy with the fit and so sending it back. My question is. Anyone with a Cm16 Raider, please help me with some upgrades! Handguard is the main thing right now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedbird_666 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 What rail did you buy from Amazon? What raider do you have (an original or a 2.0?) Original: 2.0: Both should use standard AEG barrel threading so unless the Amazon rail is proper borked I don't know why it shouldn't fit. I wouldn't spend too much on a rail for a budget blaster such as the Raider, and if you have a 2.0 I wouldn't bother changing at all. Personally, I would spend £16 shipped for one of these and call it done if you REALLY want to swap out the rail: Fireclub Keymod Rail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted October 13, 2020 Supporters Share Posted October 13, 2020 Whatever you do it will still be a G&G Raider tbh on that sorta gun - you just use it or sell it and buy a different model if the RIS is two tone then you could/might strip/paint it AFTER you get UKARA'd but really use it for what it is, it is a light starter gun and there is nowt really wrong with it why bother trying to stick a £40 metal RIS on a £100 value gun it won't do fuck all really - you can stick shit on the std Raider RIS OK RIS stuff - especially cheap stuff can be iffy on any gun sometimes the threads are really tight, stuff doesn't align correctly or there is a ridge between top of receiver & RIS system that just looks odd Not all RIS upgrades go according to plan & personally I'd refrain from going too nutz on a two tone starter - even a Raider save ya money for a different model is best advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 If I were you, I'd stick with the plastic handguard. Makes the rifle so much lighter and much less tiring. Also, what Version of the Raider do you have? 1.0 or 2.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr0-Magnon Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Agree with the above. It's good to have a back-up AEG, so if you're bored of this one/want to upgrade, save your money for another you like rather than investing heavily in to purely cosmetic alterations.

Will order this one and give it a go 😂 1 hour ago, Skara said: If I were you, I'd stick with the plastic handguard. Makes the rifle so much lighter and much less tiring. Also, what Version of the Raider do you have? 1.0 or 2.0? Version 1.0 - It works well. Just wanted a metal one for a bit more rigodity at the front end. Nothing against the plastic one, just don't want it looking like every other raider! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's plastic, but I'm starting to prefer lighter guns with plastic rails/receivers these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's somewhere between China and Italy, don't expect to get it anytime soon, but if it turns out to be a lemon, no biggie as it was only €16. If it's good, well, big win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's good, well, big win I would be interested to hear your thoughts on it when it arrives, perhaps a short review? I'm not expecting the rail to be super rigid or strong, but it's probably good enough for BBwarz/LARPsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
