I got my BFG this week after reading all the recommendations on here. Now I think I'm wishing I'd got the sewn in QD model like you run because I don't love how the webbing/buckle attaches through the sling loop.

If you were home I'd let you! Get back safe

You might just call to verify the lead time (if you haven't already). Mine shipped a lot faster than I was expecting. Also, their website only shows a 20-45 day lead time. Not sure if you're ordering something special for a 3 month wait

Thanks but I ordered one from FFT as soon as I saw they had them in stock. If I mangle the one I have while drilling/tapping, I'll reach out

Just ordered one

Thank you. I'd found them at Midwest Gun Works for $44, but also on sold out. Wasn't sure if this was another Geissele hammer scenario or I just didn't know where to look. I'll check out Numrich

Does anyone know where I can find a stock replacement for my bolt release button? I don't want to drill and tap my current one to install my oversized release until I know I can take it back to stock if I ever wanted to.

It's going to break my heart if you color over that FDE. I was trying to find one for quite a while when I finally settled for my M1014. I'd be tempted to offer to buy yours so you could buy a plain jane one

I did it w/o. Was planning on using it but StrangerDanger and CarrierComp's own instructions say you can skip it

Similarities: I was slightly disappointed in the tube color match. I'm a bit...particular about stuff like that, but I got over it fairly quickly My magazine cap also was harder to screw on Loaded 7 with ease and am very happy Differences: I had almost no loctite on mine. The tube threads had no residue and there was very little in the receiver.

Let us know how it goes. I used a heat gun on high temp, low fan

I didn't use a vice or have an extra set of hands. Did it all at my kitchen table. Maybe I was just lucky or did it a non-recommended way, but I applied the heat and it came loose fairly easily after 5 minutes.

Got mine in the mail today. Took me about 30 minutes to tear down and install. Biggest headache was getting that spring retainer clip out. My snap ring pliers kept slipping off. Huge thanks to @StrangerDanger for his writeup from 2011. The gift that keeps on giving.

This is the brand that came highly and widely recommended when I was looking to convert to 7 rounds. I don't have the H2O, but the link takes you to their finish for the H2O https://www.shop.carriercomp.com/product.sc?productId=5&categoryId=4

If I'm understanding your question correctly, while holding the button in, turn the stock to the right, push up (towards the receiver), turn it back to the left, and then pull it off

For anyone in the market, I ordered a parkerized 7rd tube yesterday expecting the 20-45 day lead time. I got a call this afternoon that they're completing a run this week and should ship out by the weekend

I don't know how to edit a previous post. I think I figured out what the receiver extension is, but what's to be gained by replacing it? I don't have a desire to go to a collapsible stock

Can you educate me on the receiver extension? I see your tutorial on how to replace it, but all your photos are showing up for me as blurred with the Photobucket logo covering them, so I can't make out what it is you're working on. Which part is the receiver extension? I looked on Benellieparts.net and didn't see anything by that name.

Luckily, Washington state has some pockets that have kept us from going "completely" off the deep end. Moved here from Oklahoma and it's still an adjustment after 2 years

It was advertised as 1 of 2500. Drove 3 hours to pick it up and learned it's actually part of the new run and not nearly as pristine as described. Was still a great deal and now I can feel better about modifying and shooting it. Going to start with your posts on swapping in a Carrier Comp 7 round tube

You might also verify that they "actually" have the FDE in stock at your store. I went through this a few months ago and, even though it's listed on the website, all they had were the all black.

After many years of waiting for the stars to align, I'm finally picking up an M4 tomorrow. I found a great deal on one of the limited edition M1014 models. Now I'm beginning to doubt if I should leave it in its pristine "as new" condition or treat it like a shooter and have fun with it. Am I viewing this one with too much reverence? This deal is too good to pass up, so should I just make it a safe queen and keep looking for one to take into the mountains? I'm wanting to add a 7rnd tube and then decide if I want to start swapping/adding all the smaller parts
