I'm gonna mount a Surefire X400 light to my M4. There's only one problem. I don't know how the **** I'm gonna do it. I don't want to get carried away with a rail system. I found a mag tube mounted rail online that will fit a 1" diameter mag tube: http://www.cdmgear.com/mtclamp.html Does anybody have any experience with these and will they fit on a Kip's tube? I assume it will because I measured the tube and came up with 1 inch. But I thought I'd ask here first before ordering in case anybody had any bad experiences with this mag tube rail setup. I found a good deal on the X400 so I already have it and I won't quit until it's on my M4. Thanks for any input you may have inputed.

Only a Hollywood actor could have shot that door up like that.

I was considering this one...

I'll take one too! But I want mine to be even looooonger.

That's Awsome. What's the mag capacity?

That's a tad big. I just installed my mepro sights today and used that same wrench. It was a little loose so be careful when you're tightening it down. LOVE the sights though.

I think Carriercomp is but I'm not entirely sure. If they are there's no telling when they'll be available or how much they'll be. But based on what they've produced so far, the quality will definately be there. At the moment I'm holding off for a good deal so Kip will probably release his stocks before that happens regardless on when that is. Hopefully he'll tune in here and give us some info on them. Maybe even some good pictures. There's some pics on the carriercomp website but no close ups.

I actually do like the standard pistol grip stock I currently have. There's other upgrades on my upgrade list for my M4 and spending at least $600 on a collapsible stock just isn't worth it. I can put that money to better use elsewhere. I could even buy an entire Mossberg shotgun for that much money! I still want the collapsible stock though.

Not exactly.

That's stupid! You paid a LOT of money for that gun and the least they can do is just repaint it and send it back to you and call it done. The same thing happened to me with my mountain bike. I paid $1400 for the frame alone and it had a noticeably crooked decal on it which was under the clearcoat, it was bugging the helll outta me so I sent it back and told them to redo it. They refused saying, "it wasn't that noticeable". The point is IT WAS NOTICEABLE and I paid a LOT for that brand new frame! I called them and bitched up a storm and they finally agreed to pay for half of the stripping and repainting of the frame. Whatever happened to the customer is always right??? And why can't companies stand behind the quality of their products??

I thought this was a collapsible stock thread. Anybody selling any collapsible stocks at the moment?

Where's a good cheap reliable place to order Machine Gunners lube?

Any of these things still available? I want one and all the ones I find are extremely expensive.

Awsome! A lot of people are gonna be happy. Any idea when the bolt knobs will be available for purchase? I want one. Big Time.

That's a nice setup Hookster! I'm not sure what I plan on doing with the switch yet, I just recently started looking into lights so I haven't decided yet. I do know I want to keep it simple.

Needless to say I'm very happy with my new tube. I've ordered a set of Meprolight night sights a week and a half ago and they've yet to arrive. They should be here any day now, the tracking number is giving me the same ol' "electronic shipping info received" stuff and I'm getting a bit frustrated by that. After that I'll be looking into a light, I'm thinking of the Surefire X400 or waiting for the m720. There's a mount I can get that'll mount it directly to the mag tube. I was also considering a Mesa 6 shot receiver mount but that can wait till the end since it's pretty low on my priority list. Also, I'm waiting for Carriercomp to start selling their hybrid bolt handles, I'll be getting one of those for sure. I have a Specter Gear sling already. Any other suggestions or must haves for my M4?

Kip's tube is installed. What a PAIN getting that stock tube off!! And what a great feeling checking off the tube from my M4 to do list.

So I got my Kip's tube yesterday. Waited a total of 2 and a half weeks from the time I placed the order until it was in my hand. Compared to the waiting times I've been hearing about this was much better than expected.

That sounds great and I wish I had one but $450 is enough for me to dish up for a light. I'll do what I can to manage getting an X400 and dishing up an excuse of some sort. I have a sickness. I get into a phase and I buy stuff and I spare no expenses. I have a goal and I achieve it. So HOLD ME BACK and talk me out of night vision because I don't need it. I don't even really need a light/lazer combo but I can justify that a bit more and I'd be happy with it. I could get a surefire x300 and that'll be great for my M4. But I can see advantages of having a lazer at close range. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Great posts. Even the ones not involving carrots. That pretty much answers my questions, I'm still probably gonna get the M720 by Surefire which was released in "March" cough cough. I wonder how much it was. Just the basic one without the infrared because I'm not rich and I can't afford the Night vision. Thanks for the input. By the way, I was also considering the X300 or even the X400 with the lazer sight. I can definately see the advantages of having a lazer sight being that I can have both eyes on the target with piece of mind knowing my gun is pointed at the target. I can hold the weapon at shoulder height and talk my smack to the perp with a serious look on my face while caressing his temples with my lazer beam. Without the lazer will involve me holding the shotgun a little higher, squinting an eye and putting forth the extra effort lining him up in my meprolights. I might still be able to lower the weapon a bit and still hit him but there goes my piece of mind. I was thinking of the actual beam from the light acting as a sight but I'm not sure how accurate that would be, and not so effective in the daylight.

I've been eating 10 carrots a day. I was hoping that would be enough but it's not working. I've even attached a carrot to my M4 hoping that'll work but it hasn't. I've been waking up in the middle of the night doing practice house sweeps and throwing carrots down the stairs like a grenade hoping that'll light things up a bit but that doesn't work either. Am I doing something wrong with the carrots? Am I using the wrong kind of carrots? I'm using the big ones. I've even tried rubbing carrot on my eyeballs but it hurt like ****. I did my left eye first and didn't do my right because of the pain. Should I have rubbed my right eye first because that's my shooting eye?

I'm pretty much a Noob when it comes to weapon attachments and I'd like to ask you guys a question or two. Most of you guys seem like you know what you're talking about so I figured I'd ask the wise. I've been researching Lights to put on my M4 and I came across the RAID series from Surefire. After some reading time and listening to the complaints from the wife about my "wasted time" I read about the invisible infrared light the M720V has to offer. This sounds very interesting to me. I love the idea of having a beam of light that I can see but they can't. So my question to you is this, what will I need to do to see this light? Will I have to go bankrupt by attaching night vision to my M4? Is there another way? I found the Eotech X P S 3-0 and it says something about night vision, is this saying it's night vision or night vision compatible or what? I have no problem putting some money into my M4 to beef it up a bit but not thousands on nightvision. Also, if I did have night vision on there why would I need an infrared flashlight? Won't the night vision work fine on its own? Please forgive the Noobness here, but I'm trying to learn this and I figured I could start this thread and learn more this way.

So am I, is there any way to RESERVE one?

I gave those Walmart things a try too. I ended up giving them away, they're useless. You get what you pay for. But I will still buy OObuck and rifled slugs from Walmart for the fun family outings.

I guess I could sling one across my back and point with the other. When the 1st one runs dry I could dramatically pitch it aside and swing the second one around. It'll take some practice since I go NOWHERE without my riot shield but it might be worth it in the end.
