Barrel wobble is not so much prevalent today as it was in the past. Most newer model armalite based airsoft guns do not suffer as severely as older models due to the fact that sturdier materials are now used and some companies are now including one piece outer barrels in their out of the box airsoft guns.

The best thing you can do when you purchase an armalite based gun is to make sure everything on the front end is nice and tight. Since the M16 you are looking at is longer than a standard M4 there would be more weight in the front end and that could gradually loosen things up.

If you want a sturdy front end then I recommend either purchasing an armalite based gun with a full metal receiver or upgrading your existing purchase with a full metal receiver and one piece outer barrel.
