BB6-213 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 Hey guys, I just picked up my M16 last week and have started on a few mods, and I have a couple questions. First, I am using a red/green dot scope, and the front sight is a little obtrusive, and I was wondering what the best way to fix this, either removing the front sight or using a raiser, it doesn't matter just whicher would be more accurate. Secondly, I am not a fan of the stock that it came with, and I have yet to see anyone with the M16 replace the stock, so I took a pic of the tube, so if anyone could varify that it is the same as the M4, then I can just get any mil-spec butt stock then correct? Thanks alot for the help guys![img width=800 height=449]http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll112/streetassassin213/2011-01-08_10-05-57_822.jpg
Microgunner Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 Welcome to T22. Removing the front sight will be more accurate because of parallax. Using a riser will be easier. I chose to use the Walther P55 red dot sight because the battery compartment acts as a riser.
rodent.22 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Posted January 9, 2011 Welcome! The M4 extension is totally different. Remember to remove the internal screw that actually holds the extension on.
ajshooter22 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Posted January 9, 2011 welcome aboard! i was thinking about changing the stock on my m16 as well so i starting looking into it and emailed umarex and heres the list of parts they told me i need to do that:576.11.01.1 = $33.38 Carbine receiver extension tube576.11.02.1 = $5.83 Receiver extension nut576.11.03.1 = $3.95 Butt stock tube lock576.11.04.1 = $4.75 Receiver extension washer576.11.05.1 = $5.15 Receiver extension screw576.11.06.1 = $6.30 Receiver extension plate576.11.07.1 = $2.75 Extension plate screwand then you can put whatever stock on it you want
BB6-213 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Posted January 9, 2011 Thanks for the welcoming and replies guys! Thats crazy they changed the extension tube, and even more crazy how much they charge for the parts to convert it lol. Looks like I will deal with the fixed butt stock for a while lol.

ajshooter22 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Posted August 10, 2011 I had to email umarex directly to get those prices and I haven't found any other place that can get those parts
Mike3990 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Posted August 14, 2011 I just ordered those parts that you need in order to put on the retractable buttstock. I'll let you guys know if I could fit my Magpul CTR buttstock on it. And maybe ill post a video or pictures on how to install those parts and the buttstock.
GeneD Posted August 31, 2011 Report Posted August 31, 2011 Hello New M16 SPR owner, how did the parts work out for the stock?
