New Inner Barrel and Outer Barrel

[Portela_999]

I've got a VALKEN BATLLE MACHINE TCC series which requires a new inner barrel and outer barrel. (I'd enjoy this opportunity to buy something better than stock for inner barrel and hop up). 

However due to different sizes and not being able to all description for the gun I'm unsure what size exactly I need to buy. I could only find out on this website: https://www.airsoftgi.com/product/Valken-Battle-Machine-TTC-M4-Carbine-AEG-Airsoft-Rifle-Tan-21971/ that it is 14mm but I'm unsure on the length and because is broken I can no longer measure the real one.

 

Any tips or help on what I need to get?

According to the link you'll need a 363mm inner barrel.

 

As for the outer barrel, iirc they're all the same length (assuming you want to keep the standard M4 look). The 14mm ccw stated in the link is the thread for the flash hider.

 

The only issue you might have is how the outer barrel connects to the upper receiver as some are different to others

Hmmm...

Thanks for that... I will have that in mind. So is it correct to say that with the rails being shorter that the outer barrel will be more exposed than one with a longer rail?

And by how the outer barrel connects, do you mean the thread OR literally how it fits on the gun?

Would a https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/5ku-7-aluminium-outer-barrel-for-m4-ar-15-aeg be a good fit (except for the part where you say you don't know how it connects)

Or this one... https://www.landwarriorairsoft.com/product/laylax-first-factory-carbon-outer-barrel-7-inch-213400

It says it fits a standard M4

Is there a specific reason you need to change the outer barrel, or is it just for aesthetic preference?

They're both way too short. You need a standard 14.5" barrel for an M4.

Before you do anything you should take yours apart and fully examine how it works.  Look at what the outer barrel head (the part that fits into the upper receiver) looks like and above all measure the lengths you need.  

You said you can't measure the outer barrel, even though it's broken?  Surely you can just measure the 2 halves?

As above. Take photos too so if there's anything you're unsure about.

Yes, how it connects to the upper receiver. Both of those are too short for the M4A1 look, they MIGHT fit but you'd need to swap out other parts too

I got it broken, hahahaha

the person who was using it decided to use it as f... walking stick, put the barrel between rocks and forgot, then pulled out without paying attention and broke the tip of the inner and outer barrel together...

isn't it there where we attach silencers/tracer units?
