L119A1 Barrel & Sling Attachment Point (GBBR)
 

One of the things I've wanted to do for a while is create a Canadian rifle out of a WE GBBR. After much budgeting, I decided to go for a C8FTHB build. Mostly because it's reasonably current, but at the same time I have a feeling I'd be better off learning with a barebones rifle than one with luxuries such as ambidextrous controls (Also ambidextrous controls cost money I'll probably have to use for rifle upkeep...) Anyway, it's not completely accurate to the CF arrangement.

The two things remaining on my list of "Canadianizations" are the 16' Heavy Barrel and the Sling Attachment Point- Incidentally the parts giving me the most grief. I see plenty of L119A1 barrels on sale, but most are for AEGs, and the GBBR variations are for WA rifles. However, the WE M4 rifle screws off at the 10' mark to create a CQBR barrel length, where the L119A1 barrels appear to screw off at a similar length.

Would it be possible to unscrew the 10'-14' segment of the M4 barrel, and screw on the tip of the L119A1 barrel to create the Heavy Barrel? It appears to be 14mm threading... but no idea which direction it threads in.

Second, with the installation of a CAR Stock, I've been looking for a sling attachment point similar to this. Issue again, is it's an AEG component- VLTOR had a nice RS version, unfortunately they're ITAR. So, can I use the AEG version on a GBBR (Which I'm assuming no) or where can I find a GBBR/RS version of the sling attachment point in question?

Thanks!

I'd also like to know if that barrel will fit a WE, for some reason I just love the Hbar look

If the item is ccw type threading yes, it should fit

Yep, on ehobbyasia it says the adaptive end is 14mm CCW negative. So it should work...

On a related note, any issue with having an inner barrel ~14 inches long and an outer barrel 16 inches long? I'd assume not if properly shimmed, but I don't know if hopup is capable of curving quickly enough to hit the outer barrel.

That is exactly what I'm doing for my WA build.



Edit, I also had a standard M4 length barrel in my AEG with the L119A1 outer and BBs came out with no issues.
