CQA Barrel swap with M16A2 Barrel
As the title says, I want to replace the 14.5 barrel of my CQA (NORINCO SEMI CLONE of M4) with a M16A2 barrel. I have read about M4 feed ramps cut on barrel. Do you guys suggest this swap & what will be effect on functionality of rifle after barrel change.
Thanking in advance for your kind input. Last edited by Mr nobody; November 27, 2017 at 09:24 AM. |

If your CQA upper has M4 feed ramps cut into it, you could have a problem with the M16A2 barrel extension which should not have the extended feed ramps.
That combination is typically not recommended. If the upper is cut for the M4 feed ramps, the barrel extension should also have them.

You can get new government profiled barrels with the M4 ramps on the barrel extension, that would be no problem then.

Another option may be to replace both the barrel and upper receiver.

I have managed to attach a pic of CQA Feed Ramp. What you guys opinion on it. Seems that I can put a M16A2 barrel in it.

Those feed ramps and receiver look to have rifle style feed ramps, not M4, so the M16 barrel (and extension) should work as well as the barrel on it now.
