m4 grip without a iron sight

[messy]

hello,

id like to get a new shorter barrel for my m4 however atm the piece of circle metal that holds the end of the handgrip in place is itself held by the iron sight which is pinned on.

If i got a shorter barrel and didnt have the iron sight - what can i use to hold that end plate in place? Idealy id like something as thin as possible as im going to have a solencer on the end and id like as little space between teh handgrip and teh silencer as possible

Re: m4 grip without a iron sight

you'll need a free float rail, one that uses the barrel nut to mount the rail to the body, you could use a cut down gas block, or a fold down vltor gas block, but it looks weird imo

aawww damn, a whole new rail?

Re: m4 grip without a iron sight



you could use this to back up to the end cap

cheapest way is to cut off the triangle....



smaller still is the noveske gas block, but its not really designed for that....

sell your rail and buy a Daniel defense mk18 or something similar

cheers, i think ill go for a new guard - however this raises another question - ppl who sell them dont seem to mention anything about compatibility - i assume pretty much any guard will fit onto a we m4?

Re: m4 grip without a iron sight

not 100% up on we M4's but I bet it will be fine, someone will pipe up soon though to confirm

Re: m4 grip without a iron sight

dont want to spam the forum much so ill add this question here;

I am looking for a shorter barrel about 180 -185mm , first of all would a 6.01 diam be too tight if im going to be using full auto or would it be just fine?

secondly, how can i tell if a barrel is ok for gas? (some specify they are aeg barrels)

Re: m4 grip without a iron sight

personally I'd say a .01 would be tight for FA, .03 would probably be as low as I'd dare go. Plus a .01 will need a LOT of regular cleaning... Not sure on the gas front, as I only use gbb pistols

Re: m4 grip without a iron sight

Buy a we rifle compatible barrel, there are plenty about

No need to go tighter than 6.04 really either.

A lot of rails state whether they are WE gbb compatible, generally rs ones are compatible I believe
