T1no Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Hi guys recently just pick this gun up but i seems to have trouble extending and collapsing the butt stock on the 416. can some one post me a pic on how the cable management supposed to sit on the butt stock? the cable shield for the battery on my gun seems to be ripped maybe caused by moving the butt stock extending and collapsing. it was already like that when i open the package i dont want to cause further damage to the cable. any one have similar problem ? thanks in advance.

Philbucknall Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Take the stock, stock tube off and then carefully cut the heat shrink off the wires. That's the sheath around BOTH wires not the red and black insulation on the individual wires ok. If the wiring is okay ie no nicks or breaks. Get some new heat shrink, slide it over and heat so it, we'll, shrinks and then reattach the connector put the stock tube back on and screw together bang on the stock and boom-good to go!

Danke Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 You can not manipulate the stock. You need to find the ideal length of pull and leave the stock there. Tuck the wire into the buffer tube fully when you figure out your length of pull. Other times if you have to collapse or extend the stock remove the rubber cap first. If constantly moving the stock is a must you need to front wire it, or switch to a gas gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mjelnir Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I have the M27 version and I can extend the stock to its fullest extent just fine with a nunchuck battery inside. So you should have no problems the way it is right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blam360 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Agree with Dante. In my experience sticking a battery into the buffer tube and then trying to close the stock all the way (ie making it as short as possible) is a no-go. The stock is pushing against/crushing the bundle of wires when the stock is fully closed. Best to leave it in a longer position when you have a battery inside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
T1no Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 ok thank you guys for the input. will try to resleve or sleve over the cut with a new heat shrink Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hiawatha Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Just like Dante and blam360 said. I had the exact same hk recently and my wire looked the same when i first got it. I ran a 7.4 in the buffer tube and only had the stock from the middle and out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
