MRF Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Hello Folks. I know it's not the tech forum, but I need AR related help and considering this thread popularity it would be possibly the fastest way. So here's the thing. I got HAO's 9,3 inch Mk16 some time ago, but it appeared that its barrel nut has too shallow threading, comparing to CC Tac, and after the rail instalation there's a gap between the rail and th receiver. HAO's RS spec nut is 13,33 mm deep, meanwhile: What I need to know is what HAO's AEG barrel nut threading depth. I asked at source but surprisingly they were not that willing to help. Is any one here able to? Edited November 26, 2021 by MRF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 I think what you want is some outer barrel shims/washers. EDIT: Or maybe not, eyh? You have the opposite problem? Isn't the barrel nut double ended with different spacing on each end for alignment purposes? Or was that the C&C nut... 😐 I used a combination of these to install and align my HAO MK16 rails on my WE build. https://shop.jkarmy.com/c-c-airsoft-outer-barrel-nut-washer-shims-set-0-15mm-20pcs.html https://shop.jkarmy.com/dytac-30pcs-shims-set-for-barrel-nut-25-7-x-32-x-0-3mm.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Delta_Knight Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) Finished my new CQB/R upper. Based on a GHK V2. It is using the Airsoft Artisan 3G rail, whch for those who aren't familiar, is a copy of the GG&G 1201 Free Float rail. Parts list: G&P B5 Flashider (BE249 copy) with custom engraving FMA LA5 Element KAC style broom handle Surefire M600B and FM53 FIlter Eotech 552 (Old Gen) ARMS #40L rear BUIS Garmin 101 in LBT pouch H&K 1.25" Sling This CQB\R rail was mostly used by DEVGRU, and has been spotted between 2005 and 2007ish.

Ivan le Fou Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 Looks like there is a trend surfacing about "old guns" getting "pimped". Creating a "dichotomical" gun. I like that trend. I may get myself a M733 and do stuff to it in that fashion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tarr Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Since Ivan has noted the "old gun" trend going strong.. Does anyone have a source for slim M4/xm177 style handguards in Europe? I'm not really bothered if they are original or replica since its getting fielded. I have checked all of my usual stores and no luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I happen to need two sets so I will probably give both of your suggestions a go - aliexpress option and Brownells, cheers to both. Also be wary of sixmm, from past experience they are not very reliable (inaccurate stock notifications, shipping wrong items, unresponsive, etc.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bostitch Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) I see the carry handle gang is strong in here lately... here's my contribution. Base is an EMG XM177. All that's left is paint (and probably a light on the barrel). I will probably spray her in a similar paint scheme as my old WE Gordy's build. Also, ignore the white ziptie...it will be replaced. I had to cut the black one off to swap the pad onto a better fitting stock and didn't realize I didn't have any more black ties long enough to fit.

Bostitch Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 So the above was a lie...also added a 14.5 and turned her into a Colt 723... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bostitch Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Rebuilt my mk18 mod 1 (previously an ICS base) onto my WE GBBR base. Now I have a mod 0 and mod 1 upper to swap back and forth as I please! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bostitch Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Molded a carry handle onto an ICS split upper and picked up an element m500 handguard for a quasi old school SWAT style build. The upper is still in semi-rough form (as you can see towards the rear of the upper receiver). She still needs more smoothing out and finishing, I just ran out of free time and coarse grit sandpaper lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
