barrel nut for a madbull mk18 ris
9 November, 2013, 09:34
HI GUY,
can anyone suggest a way i can fit a madbull mk18 ris to a g&p body? when i bought it never came with the barrel nut so need to find a replacement or a different type of nut that will fit onto the g&Ps
thanks

Re: barrel nut for a madbull mk18 ris
In the past when I was unable to get a another barrel nut I would cut down the g&p's standard barrel nut, takes time but it can be done

I done exactly what johnnyj said, Just cut the original g&p nut with a hacksaw. Worked perfectly.

Cut about 2mm back from the cog and that should do it. If it needs more took off just file it down.

Re: barrel nut for a madbull mk18 ris
If you want to make life easy, either get the correct barrel nut - which Madbull sell seperately (the stock one supplied with the Madbull Mk18 is metric, the G&P receiver is imperial), buy the ViperTech Daniel Defense barrel nut (which is imperial thread), or modify the thread on your receiver to accept the stock Madbull barrel nut. This can be done with a small file with a triangular cross section and an hours work.
As to the company mentioned by ElZeO, the owner of that company can go screw himself. The quality of his work was terrible when he was running a PTW specialist (as I know to my own cost), not to mention his shady business practices.

You can use the G&P delta ring mate, its exactly what I done. Just take it apart untill your left with this (pic below) then cut the cog off with a hacksaw. 10 minutes and I had mine done and fitted.

Re: barrel nut for a madbull mk18 ris
You might need to heat the barrel nut while your doing it, g&p barrel nuts are notoriously hard to get off. Good luck with it
