I believe that back in January when they were taking orders, the SBS tube was an option that was offered along with the others.

If you read back through this thread there are weights mentioned for both steel and titanium tubes. You may want to go back through the whole thread, because there are several different numbers thrown out there for different brands.

If I am not mistaken, there was something in the description of the cc bolt handle about the steel part being heat-treated to make it stronger than just steel.

I haven't heard anyone say anything negative about dmw...only saying why they PREFER to have the cc titanium tube. We hear your preference loud and clear, now how about letting us have OUR preference. You do not feel the cc is worth the wait, and that is certainly your prerogative! However, it seems there are those who DO feel it is worth the wait, and they are certainly entitled to that. This thread has Carriercomp in the title, not dmw. You are certainly welcome to begin a dmw thread...after all, it is an open forum. Just saying... Oh, and BTW, calling it just a straight pipe...really??

I don't think there is a wait for cc springs and followers. Check their store, they may have those in stock.

Yeah, and some of us got a black one from that batch, but I think they sold out of them in a couple of days. It looks like they are only making mag tubes right now, though.

+1, RDA1, on the "lesser of two evils" part. Speaking of lying and saying anything to get elected...hmmm, sounds suspiciously like the person in office now, and his record is proving it, which is why people are giving up on him. Ooops, political debate is started!

The whole country needs to learn from what works in Kennesaw, Georgia! I can't believe this has not inspired anyone yet!

I don't know, that chick with the buzz cut is a pretty bad shot...she almost shot Rick! Even the kid's a better shot than her!

I remembered a previous discussion about the credit card thing. I found this in an old thread (apparantly pulled from their home page, as described below): This is a copy of that detail from their home page; Due to our Merchant service software parameters, back-ordered items will invoice at the 25 day mark, or within 7 days of shipping, which ever occurs 1st. Customers uncomfortable with this necessity, may opt for a courteous and prompt refund from "carriercomp".

It's like buying the whiz-bang 3D T.V. and then finding out the 4D T.V. just came out!

Maybe they're too busy getting our stuff made to worry about that... That's okay with me!

I agree. The black one looks kind of shiny to me and the muted one does not. That could just be the lighting in the photo, but I think that I prefer the muted also! I read about people asking for the black coating, and it seems like Kip tries to respond when people want something, so I guess that is the reason for the other one.

Note to self; Do not bring my Benelli to Mars.

Very informative, SD!! I am confused, though. Here is a quote from another forum: "The portion that inserts into the bolt doubles as a disassembly tool of the gas system, so it has to be more abrasion resistant than titanium alone. Kip made that portion from heat treated A2 tool steel". Does the GG&G bolt handle also have this feature?

If you are referring to the charging handle that Huff64 has on order from GG&G, that would not be the same one. Only carriercomp makes the one mentioned in the title of this thread. (The one that I, and some others, are waiting for a new batch of.)

Harmonica believe it or not.

I have noticed that in miscellaneous M4 web images too. Maybe it is the flash:confused:. I used carriercomp's "DG" OEM Parkerized tone color option. My barrel is not as black as the receiver, but it is a dark almost black charcoal gray finish. The mag tube Kip sent matched purrrrrfectly. In his store listing his "DG" finish looks slightly different than the factory tube sitting next to it, but DOES match the barrel on my gun though. YMMV.

....answer no one......... nill....... no one until after the fact..... Its either a calculated risk, or compliance. Ignorance is dirt cheap unless it backfires. Compliance is permanent immunity.

They already are, and Geissele listened.

Thanks for the update. Wishing one had ordered, will be remedied each time Geissele gets the time to make more. Let us know when they get a round-tuit.

I heard on the news that with all his scholarships and grants, he ended up with about an extra 26k a year for his own personal use.

Sentiment understood. This place is a favorite water cooler for many of us. Easier perhaps to find kindred viewpoints, while just as easy to shake yer head and click the "back" arrow.

It's my pleasure. And in case you thought I was really smart or something, I'm not. I'm just a nerd who reads a lot!

Wait nevermind. Just read KB Fab has two guns. He rates two.
