I've read the articles online on how to fix it, I can only located 2 allen screw's to tighten it.
you need to tighten the metal piece around the base of the outer barrel...it's just inside the piece holding the foregrips in place...
I got it fixed, used my irish brain power, and got it midfey, however it still has a slight wobble that I can feel inside of the reciever.
good man, join the revolution
My M16 had the same problem, just a week after I got it. I put a PDI chamber block on it, problem fixed. It's got a SP m203 on there now, all kinds of weight and stress, but the barrel doesn't move at all. If you already got $700 in the gun, it's worth the extra $30 to fix that problem.
Thanks for the info Gilli, I'll check it, snoopy also gave me the idea of a metal reciever. I'll look into both, until then I can deal with the slight flex.
Wow, so that's what a chamber block does...
Ray's got the MOVES!
I don't see how that chamber block helps it, my wobble was coming from the base of the outter barrel, not the allen screws. I can see how the Metal Reciever would work, but I read the page about the block, that doesn't seem practical.
My bro is selling a chamber block that he brought back from Hong Kong on his last trip. I forgot what brand it is, it is brand new still in the packaging. He doesnt need it. $40 takes it- he wont be making any profit, he just wants to get rid of it.
I think I know how to fix it, but I can't really describe it. I thought the link I gave you talked about your problem too, but it's actually on this page:
That reviewed helps, I'll get a barrel chamber, the second part is what I fixed, I used some rubber strips around the threads to tighten it, worked really nice. I doubt the jaws of life could unscrew it, I can now see though how the chamber can help. I'll keep an eye open to for metal recievers on ebay.
