I just installed a guarder one piece 14.5" barrel on my stock TM SR-16. The brackets that screw onto the R.I.S. do not fit this barrel, but the D-Ring hold everything in place nicely so I assume with a one piece barrel they are not needed?
The gun still has a slight wobble where the barrel meets the gun/receiver. I have hand tightened the D-Ring part to the upper receiver, but since I am torquing a metal ring onto a plastic threaded body, I am hesitant to torque it too much in fear of stripping or breaking the plastic. Is my only solution a metal body?
If I get a metal body, is it an easy swap? Will there be much modding required? I was looking at a "G&P Marine (Bulldog) Metal Body for M4 Series" at Red Wolf (
LINK), but they have so many damn bodies to choose from (Type A, Type B, with accessories, without and so on). Having never done a metal body upgrade to an AEG, I am looking for some experience or knowledge please.
Thank you
