WhutJP Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Gah! I cant decide! I already own a g36c, I want to get another and make it either a KE or an E, but i cant decide! Full length barrel or K length? and then, once that dilema is sorted, Solid stock or no? sigh.. Do people find the full length barrel long and cumbersome? or is it okay?

p.briden Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I just run a G36C with interchangeable front sets, inner barrel stays C-length; I don't see any need to change the inner barrel length it seems to have good range as it is (and fellow skirmishers have commented as such mid game too!) Planning to upgrade it to a tight-bore to get a bit more accuracy but apart from that its fine. This way you can fill any role you like in a matter of minutes provided you have the parts to swap over. Link to post Share on other sites

Reborn Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I do like the idea of a G36C equipped with a magazine well conversion kit and Magpul magazines. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, that does sound like a good idea, and then the money i would have spent on the new gun could go to moar parts. The inner barrel thing was worrying me but i guess once i have the bits if I see a need for a longer inner barrel i can get it. cheers Link to post Share on other sites
p.briden Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 glad I could help . Also, I would recommend getting the Laylax foregrip pin to replace the one that comes stock, if you're changing front sets regularly you will probably lose the default pin (as I did), but the Laylax one has a special mechanism on it which means the pin is simply not going anywhere unless you want it to.

p.briden Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 this thread needs moar pics! took some better pics of my TM G36C with custom chopped STAR SL9 top rail: and with ACM G36K front end: oh and here's that Laylax pin I was talking about: Link to post Share on other sites
WhutJP Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) cool, yeah thanks for the heads up, the shop I'm going to order from has those in stock, and my pin is getting a little loose too. ill make the order tomorrow, will post pics up next week. Also, I like the look of the K front with the sl9 rail. In the mean time here is my current g36c Edited September 28, 2008 by WhutJP Link to post Share on other sites

neros131 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Quick G36 noob question: I have a broken G36C (brothers). The selector and GB are fubar'd completely. If I bought a used TM G36, could I just drop the internals in? Or a new TM compatible GB? My main question is whether TM and CA bodies are interchangeable. Link to post Share on other sites
QDRenegade Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 redemption? http://www.airsoftgi.com/images/cst-e1-g36-K-B.jpg Absolutely. I dunno if you have the parts, but an SL8 top rail with an EOtech 553 and some folding BUIS might be real slick. Top it off with a KAC or Tango Down (or clone) vertical fore grip A black flash suppressor would go a long ways as well. I'd sure like to see how that combo works out if possible.

millest Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 just a quick one for anyone with a g36e, how easy is it to remove the bipod? im thinking of the new g36e from jg but i dont want that bipod as i have my own plans. lol cheers millest Link to post Share on other sites

Squeeze a little metal strip, pull the sling pin out, and the bipod comes off. Link to post Share on other sites
p.briden Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) My main question is whether TM and CA bodies are interchangeable. from what other people have said in the past; yes they are. I don't own a CA though, but I have heard them described as "high quality TM clones." (not my words) Edited September 30, 2008 by p.briden Link to post Share on other sites
TheFinn Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I have heard the exact opposite about CA, at least the G36 version in their line. Link to post Share on other sites
millest Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Easy. Squeeze a little metal strip, pull the sling pin out, and the bipod comes off. sounds easy enough!!! knowing me ill screw it up. anyway once the bipods removed whats left under the front? what lumps of plastic? is there any chance anyone could post a pic or two? cheers millest Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) There's a pic. You can see that strip of metal, it's in the raised square by the sling pin at the top of the foregrip. You push DOWN on the raised part, then the pin slides out freely. Also, here's a pic of my modified Iron sight. Made with a LEGO rod. Cheers, Ollie Edited September 30, 2008 by ollie_ty Link to post Share on other sites
CapaciousZepher Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Star G36. For the photos it has an M4/M16 magwell conversion but I've also got the regular magwell, which I'll probably use more. It's nice to know though, that I can use M4/M16 mags when operating with my team, who primarily uses M4 variants. Cheers! - CapaciousZepher Link to post Share on other sites

If I bought a used TM G36, could I just drop the internals in? Or a new TM compatible GB? My main question is whether TM and CA bodies are interchangeable. What is your G36C? If it was a JG or CA, then yes. they're interchangable. I have both TM and CA bodies on my JG G36K. Link to post Share on other sites
