Aengus Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Was looking to see if anyone on here could tell me the length I'd need for a free float ris or tell me how to find out (It has a 363mm inner barrel if that helps). Gun: (G&G GR16 Carbine) Sorry for blurry images and sorry if this is a repeatb thread but i tried searching to no avail Cheers, Aengus
Aengus Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Measured the current handguard and it's 7 inches from absolute top to bottom so is that the size I'd need ?

Supporters Lozart Posted April 8, 2015 Supporters Posted April 8, 2015 The bigger issue is how that delta nut goes on. Is it threaded? ie does it have a "star" shaped centre nut that can be unscrewed? If not you may not be able to get a free float rail that will go on. ak2m4 1
ak2m4 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 As the man above says check out what's underneath that delta-ring. I've got a whole bunch of 7" free-float rails left that I'd like to see gone, I'm sure I can sort you out with a forum discount. However they are all black, you may be looking for tan?
BigAl Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 You can fit any length Free Float you like, unless you are keeping the triangle frontsight. Mack 1
n1ckh Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I fitted my old 7" rail to my sons cm16 but had to modify the outer barrel slightly to make it all fit If your receiver has a threaded ring where the barrel comes out under the delta ring, you can get free float ris that screws onto it then the rail screw's onto the adapter I've got a 10" free float on my m4 to hide where I cut the fore sight off

BigAl Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Don't know, most have them just pinned on. or perhaps a small run screw from the bottom. IIRC these also have multi piece barrels so perhaps kill to birds with one stone by adding a regular one piece barrel as well.
