    Surefire M80 rail removal or rail install on FFT forend

    in Benelli

    Posted

    When I sent my M4 to Robar, I had an M80 included as part of the package. They sent the M80 back unaltered as they said the rails were unable to be removed and the rest would not survive the plating. I take their word for it, but I also have an email in to Surefire to see if they could confirm

     

     

    Sukhoi_fan, I'll take you up on that offer. Once I get off of work I'll pm you so we can work out the details, thanks. I saw the Promag forend however I couldn't for the life of me find it being sold alone cause I haven't no need for the stock.

     

    The M80 was not appealing to me simply because of the bulk of it all. However I had hoped the side rails could have been removed. Also I'd say its price was a deterrent.

     

    I was thinking of getting an ATI forend and modifying it since its in one piece. I may still get it when I see one on EBAY or somewhere else for decent price.

     

    Thanks gents for all the help and feedback, Sukhoi I'll be messaging you.

    Finally...

    After years longing for one, i bought a M4. Now i want to accessorizes it which means 922r here i come. First, i purchase a collapsible stock so now i need to replace 4 factory parts with USA parts if i understand correctly. i see that FFT offers a trigger group (with 3 USA parts), so i would need 1 more like the follower, or mag replacement, or forends. i guess it wouldn't hurt to have more than 4 USA parts on it.

     

    I've seen FFT, CarrierComp offer 922r parts for the M4 does anyone else offer good quality parts?

     

    thanks...

     

     

    I believe the consensus here is to go with the Geissele hammer instead of the FFT. The mag tubes are also available from different manufacturers as well.

    Factory Benelli tube or CarrierComp?

    Titanium tubes are about 5 ounces lighter than the OEM unit. Plus the aftermarket ones count for 922 compliance. I have both Carriercomp and FFT. Both function as desired. Carriercomp tubes match a little better and have better machining than the FFT.

     

    In the end, it's a threaded pipe.

     

    A threaded pipe that can help you be/maintain compliance with a federal regulation that may/may not land you in prison :)

     

    Just sayin!

    Thanks for the help all. I did finally get the parts from Numrich yesterday. Quite an expensive screw...

     

    Let this be a lesson to all of you, never settle for a cheap screw (although this one was apparently $8, the original was still a piece of crap)

     

    I had to end up destroying the original buttpad with a hacksaw and then had to saw a notch in the screw head to get a flat blade to take the damn thing out

    Thought those rubber pieces came off via the screws all along the rail? I never tried taking one apart.

     

    I thought so too, but I also haven't tried. Robar is pretty good about disassembly/reassembly from what I've seen, so if it can't be done, I tend to believe them but I don't know

    F5!

     

    sucks about the Surefire rail. I wonder what they couldn't take apart? It looks easy enough to disassemble.

     

    I don't know either!

     

    This is all they said

     

    "One of the Rails you sent us for the surefire forend has plastic parts which would not survive the Np3 bath and cannot be disassembled."

    Just to re-up on an old thread...

     

     

    I got my Asgard Defense QD Rail/Sideshell holders NP3+ coated and the Muzzle Brake I got from H&K is being done also (that will be done next month).

     

    They were unable to disassemble the surefire foreend just as an FYI

     

    The Asgard stuff came out awesome, only one little black part that was rubber/plastic that they couldn't coat

    Send ADCO an email and ask them if they could find a way to adapt the plate to work with your stock. It shouldn't cost too much if they can/willing and you might mention there's probably a market for a half-dozen or dozen more at least

    The barrel was done the same way the H20's are. I believe they do not dip the entire barrel because of the ejector. That part is riveted in place and no one wants to mess with it.

     

    Did they coat the bolt itself too?

     

    Optics wise, I'm leaning towards the Trijicon RMR's on the ScalarWork rail over the Aimpoint T1. The size difference is amazing.

     

    The bolt is definitely coated and nice and smooth.

     

    I still can't get over the bluish tint of the trijicon RMR. I absolutely love my ACOG with it's clear glass, but seeing the world through a blue/green tint would drive me bonkers. That's why I'm still on the Leupold Deltapoint kick if they ever release a new one. There is a youtube video of a guy shooting his DP on a pistol and it's as clear as day with no tint. Someone on ARFCOM is even selling a used DP for $275 in good shape!

     

    I like my Aimpoint H-1 as well on a larue mount...it's nice, albeit a bit small and has a bit of a tint of it's own. The new Aimpoint T-2 looks kinda nice also, they are being shipped out now from Larue. Can't say enoug good things about that company.

    You might be right about that barrel throat area. I don't mind the front and rear sight areas, I tend towards using some sort of optic anyhow, so that doesn't really bother me. SD planted the bug in my head to get the Surefire Forend coated and the top rail/side saddles so I inquired with Robar about those already (darn SD)!

     

    I actually wanted the trigger assembly coated, the actual FFT trigger itself didn't have a very smooth finish (SD actually changed it out for me twice as the first one had a nice indent in it) and the trigger guard.

     

    I'm probably more happy that I did it this way, getting NP3+, the titanium tube vs steel tube, etc vs buying an H2O. When I bought this last year I didn't have enough money to get an H2O anyhow! I do like the little flag design on the side though :)
