IM JUST KIDDING

Ok so honestly how are they to know if you don't have a US made mag tube? The obe that the guy on AR15.com is selling compared to a benelli one? Just wondering.

I have a full length mag tube that i just got (need to check if it is benelli or US made). So in order to put it on and make it compliant i need a US follower and another US part? If the tube is a benelli tube then I need a US follower and 2 other US parts?

[cseabass]

the benelli tubes look like **** IMO... tooling marks and the finish isnt what i would like(yes i have seen/handled about 15 tubes)

Joes are super nice. very clean good work.(i have seen them) i dont own one personally cuz i just got my m4 last month.(it fell into my lap... traded a S&W m&p15 for a brand new m4, and collapsable stock)

i havent gotten one from joe cuz i had an ID theft issue and im workin out of a bank account that doesnt have a card. plus i have to be fairly cautious with my funds as i may wind up oweing my bank a bunch of money, even though i never made any charges... (what a load of horse ****)

well if things get moving i would like to have a batch for testing in a month or so.

i need to sell my eotech to get the funds for a few prototypes.

[SunriseF150]

ok but is there any way for them to know it's not a US made one like SocomGuy is making/selling?

[cseabass]

aside from it not lookin like a benelli tube, i didnt see any stamping.

the finish is different and the tooling is a LOT better IMO.

Not sure if you are mixing up a magazine extension from a magazine tube or not, if you are potentially mixing the two up then it is probably the extension (which is about 6-7" in length). The extension screws onto the end of the current magazine tube, replacing the ribbed limiter that is there by default. This does not count for any parts, this is because there is still some of the magazine tube that is 'imported'.
The a full length tube I am referring to requires one to completely remove the old partial length tube (which is not an easy task due to red loc-tite). The full length tube then is screwed in to the receiver to replace the partial.

Yes I have a full lenth replacement tube. And yes it's going to be a bitch to remove, I already tried. Need to use a barrel vise and my heat gun.

The tubes from socomguy are stamped US on the flange at the end that screws into the receiver so the hand guards cover it. It is small but definitely there.

[cseabass]

cool, thanks for pointing that out, i never noticed.

Hey do think the colapsable stock could be "fixed" with something like a DT pin placed through a drilled hole in the receiver extension tube (if thats what its called on the M4), or does "Fixed" mean something like the AR's magazine requirement (has to require a tool) or must it be permanent? Do you think that might weaken the receiver extension tube to drill through it to put either a DT ro a nut and bolt config?



Just thinking of options for your parts

[cseabass]

i have a couple ideas, the problem is, technicly to pin the stock(the way i have been thinkin about you need it to be) it will be an AW for about 30 seconds:/

i have another idea but im gonna concentrate on the other parts first.

i have an idea for a completly new button design also.

[duenor]

well, i think i am about to make my gun 922R legal. (havent done it yet, just buying parts)

to deal with the 13 parts I am replacing:

the buttstock with a Speedfeed VI pistol grip stock (usa). its not perfect but ok
the magazine with a choate +4
the foreend with a surefire

how does that sound?

You could use Vang Comps 12 gauge follower as one of the 3 replacements parts. Its about $15.
