APS Stubby 5.5" Steel Outer Barrel for M4 / M16 series Airsoft AEG

"Great, stable outer barrel. The nose will need to be trimmed slightly on some receivers. It's good because it stays stationary with the hop up in place as you tighten the barrel nut

"Awesome outer barrel. Thick and heavy, it can be used without a hand guard. I used mine to put inside of a hand guard and install a madbull silencer midway into the handguard. Makes the barrel heavy and can withstand abuse. It also looks wicked.
The best part is it DOES fit ICS m4s like a glove. It actually fit more snug than my stock ICS outer did. No modification needed.
Thanks to the Evike customer service for guiding me to this product.

"OK, so this thing is constructed well, good machining and all that. I installed this on my Echo 1 Stag Arms M4. One thing of note. the nubs on the end that go into the upper needed to be ground down a bit to fit snugly into the upper at all. Would not fit Echo 1 without modification. Not a huge deal and only took about 10 minutes with a dremel tool to grind down the appropriate areas. Once i was done i fitted it with no problem. Over all a great outer barrel for those looking for CQB AEG. I gave it 4 stars because of modification being required for certain manufacturers. Other than that its a solid purchase.

Pros: Solid construction
Threads seem solid
not too heavy

Cons: Modification may be required depending on your gun. (not a huge deal)

"When I received this barrel, there was gunk inside that prevented my inner barrel from going through. I had to scrape it off with a screwdriver for my inner barrel to fit.
