M4 modification - Short outer barrel, long silencer

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if someone can give me some advice on how I can go about getting this done...

I have an Ares M4e with an extended inner barrel (500mm). Right now it's covered by a silencer.

I want to change the external barrel so I can attach a silencer right up to the gas block / front iron sight. I'm planning to use a 300mm silencer

It seems like there's limited availability on the selections of outer barrels. Has anyone tried this before? Is there a minimum external barrel I should use, or a configuration that would work best?

Here's a link of what I'm trying to get to. I'm just not sure how these external barrel sizes and fitting works



Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

It's been done before and should be quite straightforward.

You'll need an 10.5" CQBR outer barrel (as in the bottom pic). Some barrels are 10" so watch out of that if you're being picky with things...if you want to use the front A sight the bayonet lug will interfere with the suppressor on the shorter barrel. Some are also 11".

I cannot recall if ARES outer barrels are the same as other AEGs...I think so, but it's been a while.
