Wrinkles

Thanks for the reply. I don't really have an opinion, just questions. However, you're probably right. Just the newest FNG wondering about things...looking at photos and wondering why/if there aren't more LOP options.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

First off, let me say thanks to all the knowledgeable forum pros here. I've been lurking for a bit, researching the beloved M4 platform. This age of information is great. In a few nights of researching I have learned a ton. Thanks! Right now I have ordered the following; a Benelli 11707, a factory collapsible stock, a CarrierComp full length ti tube, a CC follower, a Gisselle hammer, and a CC enhanced handle. None of it has arrived...I'm sure you all understand the anticipation. Reading up on the buffer tubes, I see there are options for machining new slots into the two position (M1014) tubes. It looks like the 11707 tubes come with three slots. I see people like to use the fully extended position for the iron sights and the middle position for the higher plane of an electronic sight. What I am wondering about is, since new slots can be cut into the tube why don't people machine multiple slots? I'm thinking four or six cuts would allow for a lot more versatility. Of course, I have no experience with the collapsible stock/tube so maybe cutting multiple slots is not even an option. If it is possible, has anyone done it? Do you find it beneficial? What say the hive?

First off, I want to say thanks to all the knowledgeable folks on here. I've been lurking around for a bit, gathering intel on the beloved M4. This age of information is insane. So much insight can be gained in a few nights of reading. Heres where i am at. From the knowledge found around here, I have purchased an 11707, factory collapsable stock, a CarrierComp full length tube, CC follower, CC enhanced knob, and Giselle hammer. Probably grab some Freedom Fighter hand guards as well. I can't wait! Anyways, I have been wondering about the three slot buffer tubes. I have zero experience with the LOP on them. I see most folks talk about using the fully extended position for factory iron sights and the middle position for the increased height of an electronic sight. I guess I'm curious if two slots is enough? Could there be more versatility with, say, four positions. Or, maybe six? Is cutting more slots into the tube even an option? Has anyone dine this? Maybe two positions is enough, but it seems like having a slot every half inch would be a great option(s). What say the hive?

I like the two tone look! FNG question, who makes that tri-rail?
