Funnyhat29 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Hi all, I have a g&g cm16 raider short, satisfied with the internals at the moment and am looking to upgrade it externally, my preferred build would be a 10" outer barrel with a flash suppressor and a 10" free float rail, i have found some parts already, just wanted some advice/alternatives that you guys suggest Can't seem to find any decent priced outer barrels in the uk....so any pointers there would be good, i found this for the rail:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221904092774?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT any advice/feedback is appreciated
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted October 18, 2015 Supporters Posted October 18, 2015 in short be careful about bothering to upgrade the outer barrel n such.... the Raider is like a 3 piece outer barrel but yup you can rip that out.... yes you can put in a slightly longer metal ris if you wish too I presume at some point you will fit a longer inner barrel too so probably £50 for ris and outer maybe just over add in a longer inner barrel - say £20 perhaps - looking at maybe £70 or flog short Raider and buy a CM18 or something like that yes it can be done - just pointing out maybe keep/sell short Raider option

Sacarathe Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 or flog short Raider and buy a CM18 or something like that yes it can be done - just pointing out maybe keep/sell short Raider option + CM18 is 23cm rail with 2cm connector to upper receiver. Outer barrel and inner barrel is 1cm longer than rail.
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted October 18, 2015 Supporters Posted October 18, 2015 here's some specs of gun's inner barrels for those unsure of what is what Raider's come as short or longreally need to have a medium imho but anyway inner barrel lengths:Raider S = 233mmRaider L = 357mmCarbine is 357mmbut a short or light Carbine exists @ 275mm I thinkCM18's = 275mm inner barrelGC16's = 330mm G26's are 260mm so this sort of 233 to 357 on Raider plus 275 on other gunsis why they didn't make a mid Raider ???SR RangeSRS = 205mmSRL = 260mm - not exactly that longSRXL = 330mm300BOT - 205mm - why is called the friggin 300 then ??? FireHawk is like 120mm The easiest option if you you wanna go up a slightly bit longer is an outer barrel extension normally 2" or 4" - anything inbetween can be hidden inside flash hider or suppressor All I was trying to point out the cost in putting on a metal ris, new outer and still it being a raider you can change and alter what you like but it is still a raider.... It is your gun so do what you want but tbh me thinks you might wanna consider as is or upgrade to CM18 or SRL or something might be easiest option that was all
Funnyhat29 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 it's not the length, although a longer barrel would be nicer, it's just making it look different, make it my own instead of a stock gun Sacarathe 1
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted October 18, 2015 Supporters Posted October 18, 2015 http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/28436-m4-10-cnc-freefloat-rail/ save a couple of quid outer barrel - well you "could" just attack the thing with a dremmel cutting off the front sight and grinding away so the barrel will sit inside the ris plop on a £10 suppressor 100x35ish and she should like nice I say 35mm but you might need a 30mm diameter suppressor to fit just inside the ris same gun cheap easy new looking front end - you will have lost front sight but either a cheapo set of flips or other fancy 552 or whatever floats your boat
Funnyhat29 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 i found this outer barrel http://www.davescustomairsoft.co.uk/External-Parts/barrel-block-tube?product_id=1219, not too bad, i assume this will fit to my receiver, £27 for the rail and a cheap suppressor for £10, £12 for some magpul flips, may treat my self to some rail covers as well
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted October 18, 2015 Supporters Posted October 18, 2015 if you contact ak2m4 on here you both save a couple of quid on the ris (he don't have to pay ebay etc... ) it should all work out quite well
Funnyhat29 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 yeah, hopefully it looks good when it all comes together
Sacarathe Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 yeah, hopefully it looks good when it all comes together Sorry about my previously reply, I'm too cheap (poor) to replace parts to personalise my gun, I just bought these from FMA:
