Barrel Conversion

Your standard L96 barrel. Does not have the grooves to lock the hop up unit to the barrel. Also the groove for the bucking is in the opposite side.

After about 15 min with a drimel tool that has changed. Sorry about the photos. Taken with my cell.
Standard CA barrel on the right in blue. Cut L96 barrel on the left

Added a little length to the overall look and feel of the gun.

Why not put on a silencer?

Gave it to Tzer, and had this laying around.

Were you able to recreate the crowned edge on the L96 barrel? That's the most common hangup I've seen on home-cut barrels.

For sure man. Gave me some sick groupings, and actually a little more range.

I didn't actually have to cut the barrel. Just put the grooves in for the hop up unit, and routed a new groove on the opposite side for the bucking.

Oh Garrett I have a midget silencer with foam inserts that you can have you'll just have to do some ghetto rigging
