TM G36C to K; inner barrel

[Heimdall]

I'm considering upgrading my TM G36C to a K. First, would the longer barrel gain me anything significant for outdoor? If not then it's probably more practical and versatile to keep it a C.

Second, if it would be better to up to a K, does any one know if this conversion kit's barrel system that is included contain an inner barrel?

Some info would be awesome. Cheers.

The inner barrel set that's included in the kit replaces the stock inner barrel. However, there will no longer be room for a stock battery in the frontend, so you'll either need to rear-wire the battery into the "sniper stock" that you can find on most retailers, or a PEQ box to keep the battery at the front.

The hopup will also no longer lock into the outer barrel (at least, that was the case with mine), it will still have the spring, but the rotate bit that keeps it in place is no longer there. Not a problem if you never disassemble the gun, just something to keep in mind.

The metal outer barrel provides a LOT more stability for the inner barrel, no more flex.

The G36K can fit a mini battery or a nunchuck battery in the front end, though with the KSK frontend there isn't much to keep the battery in place.

I doubt upgrading to a K model would have much effect on accuracy, you might be better off installing a tightbore. The K is still very compact (you can fit it in a backpack), but you would get the most advantage out of the KSK rail system for attaching cool things.

I was looking at this front set if I'm sticking with a C. It comes with the outter barrel and fore grip. So it would run me the same price as the K conversion when I get a tight bore as well.

Thanks Dire-Wolf, for the info. I've got some thinking to do.

If you wanted, there are much cheaper options for a C or K rail system at Ehobby/Ebaybanned/etc, but the quality might be a bit lower.

Just purchuse a high grade tightbore and you will be better off, Can't go wrong with PDI(6.01mm) EdGI (6.01mm) or Promy(6.03mm),I'd say PDI or EdGI if you use high grade BB's.

yeah the tightbore is a must. I'm gonna stick with the C. I've seen some of the ones off of eHobby but I'd rather spend a little more to get some good metal.

I would, that's my next venture (G36c). As for going high quality that would be a must as well, I've bought cheap tightbores before......paid for it dearly (couldn't hit the broad side of a barn! )

Yeah that's something I don't want to have to deal with. Ah so everything's priced out to start shooting up to 350-370 with the rail system and outter barrel upgrades... $450 later D:
