3D model description

The common issue now has a fix and upgrade for AKS74U and AK74U variants. Should work on CYMA/MATRIX AK longer-barreled variants as well. See the part pictured if you have the same part as my cyma. After installation of upgrade the outer barrel, top handguard and or rail/ red dot, and front sight post are not only amazingly sturdier but have fixed adjustment (windage only) elevation should be on stock gun

Part is a replacement that I could not find anywhere online to buy after breaking mine to take off the muzzle break. Also the original part was giving issues straight out of the box. The front post, top handguard, and when running a top rail had too much play. This part helps keep the airsoft outer barrel completely straight/ aligned as your front post is mounted to the outer barrel. I also designed the part keeping in mind those issues and eliminated them WITH other improved designs to adjust the front sight. Now you can shoot straight!

-There is barrel keep "regular" which is an improved sturdier stronger and significantly less play from original.
-Barrel keep "Adjustable" is a slot allowing you play, to move barrel. Recommend heat from a lighter 1 second at a time until able to turn barrel and sight to your likings AND allowing to cool a minute before screwing tight.
-if you rifle shoots slightly to the right you can use "R1" to move your front sight a smidge to the right and "R2" to go even a smidge further.
--If you rifle shoots slightly to the left you can use "L1" to move your front sight a smidge to the left and "L2" to go even a smidge further
from original positon.

Video of play and wobble: https://imgur.com/a/UMBZIx5

Your airsoft gun might have play on the pin (due to smaller diameter) that goes inside the side of the outer barrel, giving a slight wobble to the front post sight. This in turn also gives a wobble on the top handguard as well, as they're connected. If you're running a hand guard with a top rail and sight, your red dot wobbles back and forth for the same reason all being connected. With new measurements, angle and corrections to all the designs this eliminates the issues for all, tightens tolerences and at THE least greatly minimizes them.
