G36K barrel wobble

[milehigh]

Hello all,

I installed a G&P G36K kit on my TM G36C, and I notice now (probably with the extra leverage) that the barrel has quite the wobble to it.

Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this? I am worried that come game day, my gun wont be very accurate.

thanks

I've got both the G&P G36K and G36 fullsize kits installed for years and have zero movement in either and I'm very hard on my guns, as in I've fallen on them and thrown them 10-15 feet. Check you fasteners to make usre they are all locked in place.

Everything is all put together properly and tight. I was thinking it may need one of those stabilizer inserts that fits in the handguard. The kit never came with one though.

theres a pin you should put in the barrel assy itself, theres not one there normally but if you put a pin (a small nail will work) in, it hepls stabalize it.

can you explain that a little more?

umm ill try lol. if you remove your barrel assy from the upper reciever there are two small holes about 1/4 the way up from the hop up... at the fore and aft of the metal "backbone". i put pins in both of those and it seemed to help. i dunno why. it helped stabalize the actuall barrel assy inside the barrel housieng. and to a lesser extent it helped stabalize the whole barrel assy inside the upper reciever.

Are you talking about the lower 2 of the 3 holes that the body pins go through?

dunno. i actuall have a xm8 conversion, im just going off what i did to my m8... they very well might be... its been a long time since i owned a g36.
