JP barrel kits. 12" ans 7" specifically.

[Lord of Rebirth]

Hello experienced experts! I have come to ask some questions about some items and their compatibility with others parts. What I have been looking at is the 7" hand guard barrel kits and the 12" hand guard barrel kit from JP. Specifically I was recommended these kits and I'll provide a link to them on the site I was looking at them on for additional information I leave out.

The main thing I'm wondering is about the little block they mount on the barrel at the front of the guard. I saw a few pics of the kit spread out and it appears that it is not integrated into the barrels in anyway so I'm wondering it is decorative or if it is a forward contact point with the hand guard. The main reason I wanna know about this is one thing I wanna try with these hand guards is mounting a suppressor so it sinks into the hand guard.

Additional to that I'm wondering what else I'd need to get to use these kits. I currently only have a stock G&G "G16 carbine" but I'm probably gonna also get the M16 version to work with these two kits.

Thanks in advance for any info.

the gasblock acts as a female adapter for the different length barrels. i personally am not sure if you could remove the gasblock and install a silencer instead. if it is possible, i cant wait to see pics.

You would need to use a different, shorter, outer barrle then the one that comes with the handguard set for that to work.

Ah that is the plan though. I would use a shorter barrel that comes with the 7" hand guard kit with the 12" hand guard over it and the suppressor attached normally. It sounds kinda funny I guess but I believer it achieves what I want for a hand guard and base to attached tactical applications onto.

Of course I'd use the shorter 7" hand guard on the longer M-16 with probably the longest barrel until I get an L96 sniper to play with.

Treading used in the gas block is not 14mm, so you won't be able to attach anything to the end of that barrel.

You would need a CQB or 14.5" barrel and then attach a silencer to it with the handguard.

Or get the kind that clips on to your flash hider. Like the KAC QD style one.

All else you'll need then is to find the inner diameter of the hand guards so you can get the best fitting silencer, there's plenty of options, just a matter of find out what diameter you want.
