    What lub did you end up using?
  2. Thanks for the reply. Yes I saw those on Kip's site.
  3. I also am looking for information about Kip's Hammer, handle and disconnector. No information on his website. I have emailed him but no response. I also would appreciate any photos or information. thanks.
  4. I am planning on replacing the OEM top rail, to mount my LarRue short mount with an Aim Point T1, and have three options. Side Armour Mod 2 long rail version. Side Armour new Mod 2 short rail version. Kips's top rail should be here very shortly. Would appreciate input on how far forward, from the rear sight, the T1 needs to be placed to get a correct sight picture.
  5. Kip, once again, I see you slept in until 4:00AM this morning. In a different thread you mentioned you would have your rail on your site by Friday. Could you please email me a photo of your rail? Or confirm when it will be on your site/available for sale. Appreciate it.
  6. Kip, first, what are you doing up and at the computer at 3:40 in the morning? You should be in bed getting some rest for the healing process. My thoughts and prayers are with you during your recovery. Thanks for the good news of your top rail becoming a reality in the near future. My order will be there as soon as I can order it. John

    M4 Top Rails

    I am looking to replace the OEM top rail on my M4 with a rail that will hold a LaRue mount. My options are: 1. Kip's, but now with his recent accident it could be some time for him to start shipping his new rail. 2. Sidearmour, has a new M2 version but I do not want the side rails. 3. Sidearmour says they will have a "Top Rail only" version out shortly 4. Accupoint, has a #TR#123, but have not heard anything about it. Customer service says "they think it should fit the M4" Not real positive feedback. I would appriciate member's input on a good top rail. thanks.
  8. I have been following this thread for the past year. I also have not mounted my T1/ Larue mount awaiting Kip's rail system. Good stuff is worth waiting for.
  9. Thanks for the update. Kip, we are waiting for your great product. Instead of bringing out three at one time please bring out one at a time so we can start the outfitting of our favorite gun. My vote is for the top rail, charging handle, stock.
  10. StrangerDanger; "Kip said today" dated Friday the 19th. Posted on another thread, If any other members have communicated with Kip, have you discussed his new reciever rail? I have not received any response to my request for the status of it. Welcome back Kip.
  11. Looking to add a top rail system to my new M4 to mount a T1 with Larue mount. In reviewing previous threads I noted the reciever rail on the M4 is not really spec Picatinny and has caused some issues with mounts. According to the Sidearmor site, their rail system is "Mil-spec" but in reality it is not. The KZ site says "Picatinny" but again our members say it is not to "Spec". Kip at Carriercomp was working on a true spec short rail for the reciever but I have not heard any updates since November/December. I would appreciate input from members as to my options on a rail system or should I just add the T1 to the factory rail?
  12. Does anyone know if Kip will be showing product at the Shot Show this week? If he is and anyone visits with him, Please let us know what the status of his rail system is. OR, if you visit any other vendor that might have a correct rail pleas advise. It is so hard to believe a simple rail replacement cannot be found.
  13. How did this thread turn to a Sling Thread? Please start MOD, please start a differnet thread for slings.
  14. I want to put an Aimpoint H1 with LaRue LT661 short mount on my new M4. After searching the forum I have concluded the following: 1. The rail on the M4 is not 1913 spec. 2. There is no direct replacement for the factory M4 rail with a spec 1913 rail available. 3. Using the factory rail, may/could damage the LaRue mount. 4. Kip is the only person/company that MIGHT have a direct rail replacement in the future. Please confirm my findings or advise me where I am wrong. I respect the member's input and comments on rail systems or my choice of the H1/LaRue combo. Thanks.
  15. New M4 owner looking to upgrade the rail. I have Kip's tube and wondering about his rail upgrade. Anything new on timing?
