    I have one of the first run one's, and I love it, but I think I would love it even more if it were extended slightly.  I don't know by how much, but extended I think could be a win as well.  Is there plans or could there be plans of an extended version in the future?

    He said the new version was going to be extended 1/4"...

    I am going to make the handle 1/4" longer, but the diameter will be a bit smaller (as mentioned, to keep the weight at OEM spec).  I will not exceed OEM weight as that is important to most, so I want to keep that spec intact.  Still working with the machine shop to determine the spec for handle diameter.  I will report back when I have more firm specs.

    This should alleviate all the short handle issues that some may have when combined with bolt release pads that extrude a bit.

    I'll be in for a third once it's available...I think this one will be perfect.  @RxArms any chance of a discount? :)

  2. Here are some pics of the clearances for the raw titanium version.  There is plenty of room and the cerakote shouldn't add any measurable difference to these.  Bolt closed, it's about even with the GG&G bolt release.  Bolt open, it's got plenty of room as well.  @StrangerDanger is likely correct, the other guy inserted the FFT bolt past the detent...I had that bolt too and didn't experience that issue.

    I'm no shill for this bolt/manuf, but until (if) CC comes re-releases theirs, this one is staying on.

  3. I received mine today, it's great!  I do have a couple of points:

    - Having this on my gun now, I, too, would like a black/parkerized/cerekote version.  The titanium is nice, but I do like to have my purse match my shoes. :)  I'm in for another one if black becomes a reality.

    - It would be great if the actual handle was just a just a tad longer.  I have the GG&G bolt release on mine since it is pretty wide and right under the charging handle, I only have 5/8" of handle to grab.  Not a deal breaker and definitely an outlier use case, if you don't have the GG&G it's a perfect length.

  4. New or used? Just curious. For what I have seen some sell for in the past, that could be a bargain.

     

    I would consider it New because I've never had it outside of the house. It's on the gun right now but it's never been fired while it's been on there. I picked it up NIB from a small gun shop last year, I still have the packaging and rail covers. I can post pics if anyone is seriously interested.

     

    Let's get a bidding war started! :)

  5. Looking for a couple sections of these. They came with the M80 M4 forend (and were also sold separately) but are now discontinued as well, so I was hoping some of you Surefire forend equipped guys may have a couple laying around you're not using.

  6. So after some years I finally picked up an M4. I haven't kept up with the aftermarket in the interim since 2012, but does anyone have any idea why so many of the nicer/'cool' aftermarket parts are no longer available?

     

    - Geissele Hammer

    - Surefire M80 Foreend

    - ATI Raven furniture (not that I'd want this, just an example)

    - ATI flat mag cap

    - Carrier Comp charging handles (I get it, focused on the mag tubes)

     

    It seems like the only company still making M4 parts are FFT and GG&G. With the kind of backlog that Carier Comp has for mag tubes, there clearly seems to still be a demand for modifications to this gun...it's just odd that so many things are discontinued.

     

    Alternatively, if anyone has a Geissele hammer and Surefire forend they'd like to get rid of, let me know. :)

  7. I'm planning on replacing my stock recoil pad with a Limbsaver. Does anyone have any idea what size/type screw is behind those tiny holes in the stock recoil pad (it's a SNT collapsible, but I assume they're all the same)? Feels like a philips but I don't want to strip it out trying to unscrew it and would rather have the correct size. Thanks in advance!

  8. i am waiting to get the nordic setup. is your TLR2S the one w/ the green laser as well?

     

    also, where did you get that sling setup? i was looking for a clip like that but don't know what it's technically called.

     

    Mine just has the red laser.

     

    The sling is just a Blackhawk two point sling and GrovTec 1-1/4" swivels.
