  1. wow, looks nice!

    does anyone have the brugger & thomet rail?

    seems rather expensive to me, not sure if it isn't too heavy?

     

    Just so you know, there have been reports of vented gas hitting the operators hand using the B&T rail.

  2. Hey All,

    I had some more time to mess around with things this morning. I took it apart and tried it with the factory spring and I got the 7th round in. I then took it apart again and tried it with the Wolff spring once more, and it worked fine. I got the 7th in with a little room to spare (I can push the 7th in about another 3/16" after it's in all the way) I'm not quite sure what the problem was the first time but all is well now! With Kip's obsession about quality, it didn't seem logical to me that he'd be sending his tubes out with a spring that didn't allow them to function as intended. There is now happiness in FL tube -land! Thanks Again Kip

  3. Yeah!!! Looks good Unobtanium, AD is good stuff. I've got their system on my Tango Down VFG. It's a rock solid mounting system. The only reason I went with A.R.M.S. instead of AD for my socom ML 3 mount was because the AD would have moved the sight forward more because the ring is at the end of the mount instead of centered. But, truthfully I would have preferred ADs locking system. When do we get to see it mounted on your build?

  4. Congrats. I've got another one coming in in November. ;)

    ordered one up for my cell mate.

     

    Thanks SD, I got it installed today without too much problem. About 14 minutes with the heat gun. There was a fair amount of the threadlocker on it. I'd heat and turn a little and then heat and turn a little more till it was about 1/3 out and then it unscrewed the rest of the way. Most of the gunk stayed on the old factory tube. The inside threads were pretty clean.

     

    Everything looks great but I'm having a problem getting the 7th 2 3/4" shell in. I tried both Remington and Winchester shells but neither worked. The Brownells follower I put in is considerably shorter than the factory one so I'm thinking it might be the Wolff spring that I installed with the tube since it is considerably longer than the Benelli spring. I'll mess with it some more tomorrow and see what happens. Thoughts anyone?

     

    Later,
