I wish they could do it with a smaller bezel. I saw that when they came out

Mmmmm...makes overmatch a breeze when you light someone up who has an IB light!

They really have cheapened the line when and where they could. Sad to see.

I'm a fan of leaving operating systems be. I have run qpq bcgs in m4 type rifles and had to rebuffer and re-spring them and even change ejector springs out to match faster cyclic rates. The m1014 was developed with phosphate and anodized and chrome sliding surfaces. I want to keep i this way since only milslec springs exist and no buffer exists to modify.

I had one that was absolutely caked with red loctite. Previously, I'd used a heat gun and my hands. Done half a dozen. This time, it was insane. So now? I'll let SD handle it. He has an actual padded vice and strap wrenches and a better feel for this than I do, as I've done half a dozen, he's done apparently hundreds. I do not like others mucking with my stuff, but SD is at least as competent as I am, and has far more correct tools than I do. To deny this would be the epitome of Dunning Kruger syndrome. Again, a heat gun (wagoner, common hi lo model) was used on the last one I did. To remove the tube absolutely caked in red loctite, without a vice, I got the receiver hot enough to very lightly bronze the anodizing seen in certain light. SD will not do this.

All parts in hand, receiver is off to SD for tube removal (I tried myself, it's ON there, why muck with it? I've discolored receivers before like that).

It should, as it works with my h2 and cover, but I won't promise. Scalarworks is your POC for that. Yes, they do. It replaces the rail and allows lower 1/3 cw.

Polish the bolt lugs after this many rounds? Buy and replace the action spring first, IMO.

Agreed, kindof a testimony to the platform. People get it, they do what they want with it, and it works so they have no further issue/question. We just don't get a deluge of "Why is my M4 not doing such and such" or "my so and so part broke..."

I will presume that you are competent in cleaning and lubing the weapon, and rule out issues there (really, it should run filthy and dry for at least a little bit anyways...). My first step would be an OEM replacement action spring.

Some companies respond to a request. LAPD is big enough to make requests that they will react to, if they are mobile enough to do it without breaking the bank. Otherwise, yep. Labor of love.

Just my take on it.

Agreed. My trade was calculated to slant in favor of Tango Arms.

I am trading the OEM c stock for some tango arms stippled fore end halves. I really like the look, and remember the OEM being a bit slick. I asked about them, and each set is OEM sourced, and takes 3 hours to stipple.

The M1014 model actually comes with it. Saves me $1K at the cost of not being compatible with a functional C-stock, and as outlined above...that's a zero-loss trade for me. I bought that fixed PG stock for $99 from Botach, and will sell the C-stock the m1014 arrives with for more, of course. Also, I get the joy of having that little flag on the receiver, which while I know isn't "worth a lot" on the market, I like it and think it's classy.

For your situation, the C stock is certainly the best stock. However, I am maintaining the use of irons as possible via a Scalarworks SYNC mount placing the optic on a plane very near the irons. For that, sadly, the C-stock won't work. With my Velocity plates, I run a shooter's cut, so I shouldn't have too much issue there.

Thanks! I prefer the fixed PG stock, as the only purpose for collapsing the C-stock in my case is transportation, which is not an issue regardless for me, thus it's one more moving part I'd rather not deal with, basically. I plan to sell it when the M1014 arrives.

So far in possession of: -Carrier Comp Ti mag tube/spring/follower -IWC light mount with Surefire M300 300lumen scout -Aluminum trigger-guard with WOLFF springs throughout -PG stock with drop-in Limbsaver recoil pad. -Daves Metal Works safety button -Scarlarworks Aimpoint Micro SYNC mount. More in the mail...

With special thanks to StrangerDanger!

Class act.

I want this. but I didn't NEED this. Thanks for taking one for me, Stranger. I fear I would have caved.

Recoil was mild, my finger was not bitten, and she shoots accurately. Here is a 50 yard 3 shot group, and a 75 yard single cold-bore shot (last shot before leaving the range and zeroing, after letting the weapon fully cool to ambient to check for any POI shifts.).Remington lists drop at 75 yards with a 50 yard zero as 1.4". CBS says this weapon is zeroed and that I can shoot. (I adjusted the sights 1 more click right after the 3 shot group was fired).

Found one for $349 shipped with only 50 rounds through it. Figured I'd add it to my armory for use deer hunting 12 hours a day in snow and ice and rain.

Correct all around. They owe you proper handguards to fit it, or you can buy some FFT's (not as good as OEM), or some take-offs, or actual OEM's new.

I installed all Wolff/FFT springs in my FCG. The action of all the parts is more robust, and the trigger pull is slightly higher in weight, but feels a tad crisper. This is my experience normally when using heavier springs on the same surfaces.
