Re: M16 barrel movement

What make of gun is it and what's moving? Is it the Outer barrel itself, the handguards, the front handguard retainer?

TM. i think the problen will be the usual one of the entire front end being too long and the movement starts at the ''root'' of the barrel/ hand guard just above the mag housing?? mark

Re: M16 barrel movement

Ok, im assuming you have the M16A2 version where the delta ring/locking nutscrews onto the barrel, if you do you can either keep tightening it or get a full metal body and/or a one piece barrel for it, doing that will cancel out your barrel wobble problems.

If its another kind of attachment i dont think i can give you any advice for that.

Re: M16 barrel movement

There's a couple of small allen keys at the Delta ring end of the barrel IIRC, they might need tightening a bit as well. The loose handguards (as also with ICS) make the problem seem worse as well.
