M4 barrel compatability

[JDoorn]

quick question for you.

With the provided pictures of my 416 front end, could you please tell me if a standard M4 outer barrel will fit on this.

Looks like a standard m4 barrel will slip in.

Should but why?

standard m4 outer barrels will need alot of filing/grinding to make fit. they fatten up next to the base and the 416 delta ring won't fit over them. ive tried before.

[JDoorn]

Wouldn't I be using what would be the M4's Delta ring to secure the barrel to the upper?

Hectic, I'm sick of f*ucking around with the front end, figure I'd try a new barrel...

[AngelusNex]

unless you change the rail you'll be stuck with the 416 delta ring which is a bitch for barrel compatibility

A barrel wont fix the hop up issue.
And no if you use the ring from the m4 barrel you wont be able to attach the front set of the 416 (it uses the grove on the delta ring to secure the rail system)
If you go to an m4 rail system you will need to change the upper as well because a 416 is a lil taller then an m4 and the rails wont line up.
Have you tryed a different hop up rubber or even just removing and reinstalling the one u have in there. Its almost definately a hop up issue. (of course the inner barrel issue you mentioned needs to be adressed too)edit the inner issue is snother thread lol.
Id say bring it by and ill try a barrel and rubber i have and even a hop up unit but yer just a lil far away lol.

lol. ya just a bit. I was planning on going to toronto/wasaga in july but I'm flying there...

I'll try putting the old hop up back in and see what happens. I don't throw much away...

You should try n get out to the 30 hour game in august thatll be well worth the trip.

Wish I could!
