Also, find a gundoc and run a tune-up on your mechbox, if you can afford it. You'll most likely need to get all the factory goop out of there, relube, and shim your gears.

Thanks for feedback

It does have 14mm threaded barrel. There are is a problem though:

Getting the flash hider off is nearly impossible on the Echo1. I have a feeling that they did not only screw it on, but also glued the darn thing. Tried everything, didn't even budge. And as usual, no one on the internet knows how to do it...

About the tune up on the gear box.... When I was replacing the spring for a more CQB friendly, I saw that green goo... I wasn't brave enough to relube and such...
