  1. Here's some images for reference. You can see clearance with IWC mount and how my X300U hits it. Also, if you were planning on throwing in some railscales or the like, there's a screw that interferes with one of the mlok slots.

  2. Just want to say that the 8" handguard doesn't interfere exactly with the IWC multilight mount... You can have both, but depending on what kind of light you have, it might interfere. I had a Surefire X300U on there and it won't fit. I was going to return the handguard, but decided to buy a proper scout light and see if it'll work and throw the x300u on my pistol.

     

    I do like that these semi wrap around the top so helps with barrel heat protection.

  3. Also, my suspicion is they're simple drop ship distributors. Nothing wrong with that as that's a model used by nearly all OEMs. However as they are basically middleman brokers and don't stock locally, shipping would be at the mercy of the OEM. Not a big deal if not in a rush and gladly take the MSRP discount.

    Thanks for the feedback, aznwhip.  When I googled the company, the reviews from BBB and FB were not encouraging.  Did you order the Briley handguard from them?

    I did, but cancelled that order cause it looked like it wouldn't work with my IWC front sling/scout mount. Going Agency instead. However, I did order a bunch of other stuff from them and received in a week from ordering.

    Do any forum members have any experience with Performance Shooting HQ?

    They're GTG. Actually did a little research and they're part of SMPInvestimenti which is the company that runs Briley's e-commerce. I already got my order from them from when I ordered some stuff back during the 4th.

    I know this is an old thread, but wondering if anyone has purchased from Arms Unlimited lately? Some of the reviews scare me, but they have the charging at a really good sale price right now.

     

    Thanks

    I've bought a few stuff from them without issue. Most recently last week a surefire x300u and took only a few days to get shipping info. They're GTG.

  7. I wonder if we might see some QC problems with covid era production runs due to unprecedented working environment. Might someday be seen as an "avoid this range of serial numbers" situation for weapons made during this time.

    Good deal. I already placed the order. Interesting about the UV burn. 

    If you don't leave your gun out in the sun for extensive periods of time or shoot mostly indoors, it won't be a problem, but coming from the aftermarket auto industry, we see a lot of cheaper CF parts turn gold over time from UV. Won't have any performance problems and weight savings is easily worth on the M4, but aesthetics will suffer. Getting a UV treated clear coat will help and also smooth out some of the roughness with CF strips.

    Talked myself into it and ordered one up for the H2O. 

    I have that tube and a couple things I didn't like about it... Looks to be layered CF strips instead of a full CF sheet. Also isn't UV treated so will golden over time. I had my local auto shop spray some UV clear on it to protect the tube.

     

    Also that tube is cheapest here: https://www.performanceshootinghq.com/fulllengthbenellim4carbonfibermagazine.aspx

    No, it should not have loctite on it. Do you have the right sized screwdriver head for the bolt in there? 
    Just turn slow while pushing firmly on the screwdriver then it should come right out. 

    Thanks, that was it. I was trying to get cute with my Wiha PH1 screwdriver, but should have just rammed a full size screwdriver in there

  11. Hello, sorry if this has been answered (searched and went though 30 pages worth)....

    Looking to purchase and have an opportunity to get a first gen M1014. I know all about the cosmetic and stock differences, but is there any real functional/resilience difference? Any improvements made in the nearly 2 decades? Am I GTG picking it up, or should I be on the lookout for one of the newer model year?
