Yep just the barrel, and the E-Form 1 is SUPER easy, I got the barrel off GunBroker, seemed to be the best price.

M4 parts are popular right now it seems. I am sure a large number of us are waiting on stuff we ordered/preordered. They say misery loves company, so what are you waiting for the notification/call on? I am a big CarrierComp fan. Patiently waiting for the call for my parkerized titanium 7rd mag tube/follower/spring. Order placed 3/20

Doesn't look great, but it works. Plastic shield I had lying around, for a Mossberg. Cut off the lips on the breech end, used a ranger band. 2800$ gun - $25 heat shield. ? I was going to get the briley 3 gun forends but I like the fit and feel of oem.

Ordered a CC Ti tube, and every time I forget, one of the wonderful forum members such as yourself, reminds me that I still have FOR-EV-ER to go. So to you kind person, I thank you.

Oh, your words cut like a knife. ?? What's the revolver gonna do, start walking around shooting people? ?? Ever think perhaps there's a reason it's right there within easy reach? There is. But you're too caught up in your internet snobbery to consider it, sorry about that. It has to make life tough. And yeah the heat shield is plastic but it works and stays in place. I don't like the offerings on the market that provide a heat shield. Good enough for me. I don't own this shotgun as a status symbol, I want functionality. I'm not some wannabe operator so I don't use gloves when I'm just out having fun shooting it. The heatshield comes in handy. Looks like crap, but works. Again, sorry about your snobby lifestyle. I literally spend close to 16 hours a day in my car, 6 days a week. I clean it at the end of the week. I pull up by my burn pit, rake it out, then that evening burn it and drink a few beers. It's a routine. You don't ride in it so why do you care? Hopefullt this satisfies your holier than thou internet snob concerns. If not, or even if it does, you can still get bent. ?

Finally got the bulk of my parts back from paint, a few minor mistakes to correct, but overall got me enough stuff to keep me busy for a few days. Finalized a H2O that has been taking forever due to Covid and Biden times. Just need to test and sight it in before it makes its way home. A second standard H2O should be finalized this week and taken for testing. The OD green M4 should get finalized soon for testing. The FDE/NP3 H2O has a few minor paint issues to correct, but I can assemble most of it in the mean time. The AR15 is absolutely beautiful. Wish it was mine! The AR10 parts pile in 6.5 Creedmoor should start taking shape too. I assembled a lot of weapon lights last night. I’ve begun having the lock ring that holds the rubber button in place Np3 plated. I thought they were plastic for the longest time. Turns out they’re aluminum.

Thanks for the info—that’s what I was looking for.

No. Got too expensive unless I ordered like 100+ tubes.

Yes.

If you mean one of these muzzle brake type choke assemblies like shown below, the unit weights 7.8 ounces with the choke adapter. Obviously the oem choke will weigh a small amount, maybe the 0.7 ounces.

Where do I send my money!!!!!

I recently received a top rail from Freedom Fighter Tactical to install on a friends M4. Since I had my carriercomp top rail removed for my coating process, I figured I'd take some decent pictures and compare the two side by side. Generally, the carriercomp top rail has been the 'go to' rail for anyone serious about mounting an optic to their M4. I noticed that Freedom Fighter Tactical had released an offering that looked quite similar to the carriercomp rail. At various times, the carriercomp rail has been extremely difficult to get -- so an alternative is welcome. While the Freedom Fighter Tactical rail costs a little more than the carriercomp rail, it also includes a set of washers and fasteners. The Freedom Fighter Tactical rail is also available for purchase at pretty much any given time with minimal wait periods. The rails themselves are nearly identical. The only differences I noted was that the carriercomp had a more aggressive dehorning process performed. This means there are fewer sharp edges present. The carriercomp unit also has T markings present. The finish on the aluminum is different. On the carriercomp, the finish is shinier than the Freedom Fighter Tactical model. The Freedom Fighter Tactical model has more of a flat subdued finish. Installation of these rails is pretty straight forward with the proper tools. Procuring a proper flat head screw driver for the fasteners is probably the biggest challenge. The bit you want is a Magnabit 240-6. They fit perfectly. You'll also want to use a torque wrench. Torque the fasteners in an alternate pattern like if you were torquing the lug nuts on a car. Eventually snug them all to 16 - 18 inch pounds. Locktite is recommended for the fasteners. I would take an additional step and coat the fasteners and receiver threads with Locktite Primer. 243 Locktite is recommended for two dissimilar materials. You can make due with 241 blue locktite though. Allow the fasteners to dry for at least 24 hours before shooting the weapon. Bottom line is, you can't go wrong purchasing either one.
