the inflation calendar says it all. i sadly think we've already seen the best days of affordable guns/accessories

Great picture

Thing is, with the hard mount, you've got to have a pouch to store the loose extra rounds. That's extra movements - which is crucial time. Imagine doing a load from a bag for each round, or as many as you can hold and manipulate under pressure in a reload situation. Another nice thing about the esstac type solutions, is that they will fit in standard AR magazine pouches so you could have one staged on a battle belt, or on a light plate carrier. A pouch of loose shells will just swing, make noise, and could be in the way, or even out of reach when you want to keep eyes on target Slap one esstac on for a ready to go 6-7 rounds, or manually load 6 or 7 each to the hard points. IMO better efficiency with the esstac. But thats just me As for the attachment method? Clean the surface of the gun with alcohol prep pad or similar, trim the velcro to fit, including the trigger housing pin to access, and attach the velcro. It stays put. Wont mar the finish of the shotgun, even the cerakote titanium ones. And if the velcro goes bad, easy peel and reinstall with a new pad. Hope that's helpful

Even with inflation, it still wouldn't touch what one costs now a days... SMH! ?

The price of gas is bad, no doubt but it's the price of diesel that worries me. Everything (except babies) is tied to the price of diesel and it's up 150% since President "Mean Tweets".

It looks okay, but it definitely isn't a scalarworks killer. The limitations of the shell carrier vis a vis other options such as the Esstac shell cards. The hard point carrier needs to be reloaded per round/shell, and then unloaded...several steps imho that are unnecessary. The esstac cards can preloaded and then removed or slapped on as necessary. Jmho.

Ain't seen nothing yet.

Man, that is amazing prices. They screwed the world with covid lockdowns disrupting the flow of the earths economy, not sure it will ever come back to a nice balance any time soon.

Haha... now try Knights Armament for sticker shock

VoidEngine, Is it functional? Does it shoot straight? Then no modifications are needed. It’s a very cool gun to shoot/own in it’s OEM configuration. Obviously making it better comes at a hefty and expensive price. My recommendation is to take your time with your gun. Throw a couple hundred rounds down range and find out what you like and don’t like about it. Then you’ll know what you want to change. Start small and upgrade as you can afford to. Obviously if you have the cash….balls out. But life is not a sprint my friend! Thanks, Garza

gotta pay the cost to be the boss, any high end gun items, not just the m4, has an entry fee.. than if you want best in class upgrades depending on what one likes, your spending hundreds easy and optics / lights / suppressors your hitting thousands

Man, I'm a new owner of an M4 and I overlooked the price of accessories before getting it. I just couldn't pass it up for 1400. However, I am having a hard time justifying spending 800 more for it to meet 922r and have a C-stock. Any helpful suggestions?

Ah, the good old days…. I did the very same thing last week when I was purging my old receipts and I came across my truck contract from 2008. Back then I bought a brand new 08 Ford F-150 SC Cab FX4 for 43k. Fast forward to August of last year when I traded in that Ford for a GMC Sierra Carbon Pro AT4, let’s just say the new truck was almost double the price. Ouch!!!! But I still smile when I start her up every day. Blessed! Thanks, Garza

Definitely do a full length tube. Never cared much for the two round extensions. I was out hiking in the Mojave with the M4 with a carbon fiber magazine tube on it. The weight reduction was appreciable. I use the Carriercomp springs since they don’t seem to need trimming to fit seven rounds. I’d use the Briley follower with their tube. Regular followers may not be beveled at the leading edge which may caught the follower to catch on the transition points between the stainless steel threaded end and the body of the carbon fiber tube.
