Berto Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 So I finally got the front sight off the raider without breaking anything (and no blood, bonus!) so can any point me in the right direction for sourcing a new outer barrel that has a flip sigh that will fit? Or even an outer barrel with no front sight and I can go red dot? Or do I need a whole new barrel assembly? Thanks Berto
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted July 11, 2015 Supporters Posted July 11, 2015 current ebay stuff....second hand - dunno if polymer or metal so best ask before bidding:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Flip-Up-Sights-/281741080725?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item419913b895new plastic probably but ok at a push from China:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Magpul-Gen-2-MBUS-Rear-Flip-Sight-Black-Back-Up-Sights-BUIS-2-pcs-Set-/321789888789?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4aec2c0915ok they are plastic but if they don't wobble too much they will do ok, gun is hardly all metal and doubt if your range is really gonna require ultra pin point accuracy
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted July 11, 2015 Supporters Posted July 11, 2015 re-read post exactly what do you seek - new whole front or just lose the fixed front sight to allow Eotech etc.... with back up flip sights
Berto Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 re-read post exactly what do you seek - new whole front or just lose the fixed front sight to allow Eotech etc.... with back up flip sights I need to loose the front sight, on the raider it's fixed to the outer barrelhttp://www.airsoftoutletnw.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/1000x1000/602f0fa2c1f0d1ba5e241f914e856ff9/g/_/g_g_cm16_combat_machine_cqb_front_sight_barrel_assembly.jpg This bit
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted July 11, 2015 Supporters Posted July 11, 2015 yes but up unitl a week or two ago I thought it was held on there like most "proper M4's" but it is cast or welded on so gotta be cut off now there are mounts that could clamp on outer barrel and fit a stubby removable sight but likely you will fit just the usual flip ones if fitting a scope or something else on there Shame its welded on there coz was hoping to remove sight at front and fit a folding M4 sight on there http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ArmyCode-41-B-Style-Front-Folding-Clamp-On-Iron-Sight-for-M4-M16-AR-Airsoft-AEG-/281307488120?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item417f3b9f78 but alas the Raider sight is welded on there so that pi$$ed on my firework too
Berto Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 I think this should work http://www.landwarriorairsoft.com/aiming-devices-mounts-and-bipods-c7/iron-sights-c77/g-g-detachable-front-sight-for-cm-series-short-p3453
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted July 11, 2015 Supporters Posted July 11, 2015 you got long or short Raider coz not sure exactly how that fits on the present barrel that is the sort of front sight on GC16 30th - easy to detach I was thinking if not mounting flip sights on raider's top rail then perhaps these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Barrel-Mount-with-4x-5-slot-20mm-Picatinny-Weaver-Rail-Free-Post-in-UK-/171387341608?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item27e77b4b28http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-5-cm-Length-Universal-Single-Rail-Barrel-Mount-KHM-Airsoft-/221518546059?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item339388c48bjeeeez they are taking the mick:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Low-profile-Quad-rail-Gas-Block-for-75-19mm-Barrel-for-Airsoft-/291311450182?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item43d383f846 then add flip or detachable front sight as needed only thing - not sure if any of those mini rail mounts are maybe too high for detachable sight and most likely way too low for flip sight
Berto Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 Mines a short so those mounts won't fit mine. I just want to ditch the fixed and add flip sights to the rails.
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted July 11, 2015 Supporters Posted July 11, 2015 then just a cheapo plastic/polymer pair on top rail will suffice I mean it is just a CM plastic toy gun at end of day slap on a scopey thingy and all that but don't spend loads n loads tbh remove rear sight - fit cheapo ones as long as they ain't too wobbly and be done with it
Berto Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 That's true but I still need to replace the current barrel with the fixed sight. I'm happy to have a removable one like the one I linked before You might need this one if you have a L, http://www.airsoftoutletnw.com/g-g-detachable-front-sight-set-for-combat-machine-long-barrel
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted July 11, 2015 Supporters Posted July 11, 2015 Think I will keep raider as is for now if a GC16 front end comes up a cheap price but no biggy if not its got the rails but tbh I mainly keep my stuff stock externally atm it is a puzzler though - where do you start & where do you stop ????
Supporters ImTriggerHappy Posted July 11, 2015 Supporters Posted July 11, 2015 it is a puzzler though - where do you start & where do you stop ???? You start by buying a good airsoft gun and stop before your daft enough to buy a G&G.?
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted July 11, 2015 Supporters Posted July 11, 2015 ooooooh ya cow..... tell ya what when your Krytac breaks I lend you my B500A1 if I had just one good higher end gun to hand people would really see how bad I suck at this malarky ImTriggerHappy 1

Would be funny to see peoples face when you out shoot there gucci guns with a justbbguns special. Sitting Duck 1
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted July 11, 2015 Supporters Posted July 11, 2015 one of my many things I'd like to do or finish off trouble is I take so long I often get distracted not just on here but start on something else I come across when I look into spares box or whilst browsing for bits OOOooohhh - there you are - right you was supposed to go in that other mofo and so it sets off a chain reaction of guns in bits and stages of tweaks/rebuilds

Theres nothing to do to it. I rewired two for someone and they wanted to know what internal upgrades I would recommend and fit and after taking it to bits and shooting it theres honestly nothing other than rewire and change to deans. Best stock gun internals I have ever seen.
MxHaze Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I dont get why you've removed the front sight but now want a new outta? Why mod it if you're replacing it.
Berto Posted July 18, 2015 Author Posted July 18, 2015 So I got a new outer barrel sorted for the Raider Old one New one with removable sight Lozart and Baz JJ 2
MILITATED Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 So I got a new outer barrel sorted for the Raider Old one New one with removable sight What on earth happened to the green on that gun?
Berto Posted July 26, 2015 Author Posted July 26, 2015 No idea, but fairy power spray barely touches it. Looks like a sand down and re spray is needed.
