Fix my gun Panzer arms m4 barrel space question.

Post image

Hi everyone,

Hope you are well. Bought a panzer arms m4 to add to an Italian collection.

Took it apart to clean it and putting it back together I see there is a thin gap between the barrel and receiver.

I can't remember if this gap was here before I took it apart.

Does anyone else have this gap? If it shouldn't be there does anyone who also has one who had the same problem have a solution for how to fix it?

Thanks for your input!

There shouldnt be a lighter coloured gap there. Every time i reassemble mine, i have to tap the barrel back into place with a rubber mallet lol.

Thanks for the info! So perfectly normal for this thing then? And with enough force can be hammered back in? I guess I gotta buy a big rubber mallet not just my small pin mallet!

Yeah bit by bit it can be hammered in. Dont go overboard though, i usually put a towel over the muzzle first. When its new its a really tight fit.
