exact measurement trigger guard

[djbordie]

Can someone with an m16/m4 body give me an exact caliper measurement on the rear part of the trigger guard please.

overall height and width of the upper and lower part would be great

nothing wrong with the measurements, its all in inches.
you just need to convert them to metric which is real easy.
if you have a 3D program i can send you the model i built.

lol i know imperial.

check the measurements of some items, they are not to what is says next to the object. for example: the holes on the trig guard dont match what it says next to it..

so i need some corroboration here

well the image is just a refferance, its not going to match the measurements.
keeps in mind that there are for the REAL STEEL reciver, and not the AirSoft reciver which are modified to fit the gearbox.
as for the measurements not matching what is on the diagram, seems to match up fine on my VFC HK416. trigger gaurd hole is 3.175mm on my digital caliper, the same as on the diagram.
well here are the metric measurements.



this is the model that im working on.
