G&P Loose body

[CrackedHalo]

I have a G&P M4 Special forces, awesome gun, except the body is loose and you can see the between the crack in the upper and lower body. I tried a bit of tape, it tightened it a littel bit, but not as it should be.

Anyone else have the same issue... and idea's on how to fix the problem ?

Thanks

i have the same issue with my g&p m16-203, but havent got around to asking about it as i own way to much stuff,, the launcher was loose too right from the get go and i thought id just eventually send it to somebody to fix up for the upcoming season.

Does it have the upper body clips to hold the two halves together? Not sure if its G&P that done have it or what not...

My SR has the same deal, but doesnt really bug me, still sturdy and unless I wack the front end off something it wont come off during the game.

Im sure if your going for looks and appearance, nice shiny gun it looks like, it would bug you.

It has two pins... front one is easy to pull out. I have a TM SR16 that is tight as hell.

As for the M203.. mine is tight...fits the RAS nicely. Except the stupid trigger guard broke.

yea it has the two body pins, but does the upper have the 2 clips that come down and the rear pin goes through to hold it all together... Because if the top is a bit lose, either the body is mis made, or those clips are broke or non exist.

Yeah no clips. Once you pull the two pins.... the upper slides right back and off.

Ah yep, same as mine, has a slight split between the two because of this.. The upper mech is all that holds it, so there will be some play. No idea how to really fix it other than add some material either on the mech or the body to tighten it up...

Lets see if anyone else has anything though now that we figured out we both have the same set up.

Exactually. I used a bit of black eletrical tape on each side. Kinda hides the mech box from SHINING through in pic's etc lol

It,s the upper hafe receiver front body pin hole that,s getting sloppy. Just cut some thin strips of aluminum tape and put them in the body pin hole and fold the end,s of the tape down on each side. Then put the two receiver hafe,s together and push the body pin in. This should snug it up.

Just bought a G&P m16a4 (bnib). Was surprised that the upper receiver is loose (sideways) to the lower receiver. The front metal pin could be easily pushed by my thumb. The part (hole) where the upper receiver mates witht he lower receiver need more metal. I think G&P has this flaw during the manufacturing. I will post picture of this later.

And finally, I had a remedy! Just like zone 69 had said, I cut two small strips of electrical tape. Inserted it through the hole of the lower receiver. Stick it and fold both of its end to the side. Then mate the upper to the lower receiver and put the front pin. No rattling, not sloppy metal receiver.

Actually on G&P's you just pull out the front pin to take it apart. It's a tough metal body but their quality control is pretty bad, it's really hit and miss lol

I did on both my rifles. One of my mechbox is black so it didn't matter for that rifle. After servicing both rifles last week and putting them back together, the problem went away by itself... I must have put them back together in a different order than when I installed them.

Hit and miss is pretty much what it it... It's purely cosmetic. I've never had any issue with functionnality.
