Tom-Gun Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I'm just curious why you guys (KB Fab & Shawtgun) keep the OEM forends and didn't install the aftermarket ones on the M4's? (e.g. Surefire, Brügger & Thomet, Mako, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 The factory handguards are the most ergonomic, comfortable and lightweight option out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bm4sbs Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Yup. I had the surefire handguard at one point. Do not like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(e.g. Surefire, Brügger & Thomet, Mako, etc.) Ditto on that. I've tried most of those you mention and still I always come back to the factory one.

KB Fab Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 The factory handguards are the most ergonomic, comfortable and lightweight option out there. Yep......this. I have handled the Surefire and didn't really care for it. I'm a KISS kind of guy when it comes to these things and about the only thing else I'll add is a sling.

Mikjk Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Mine with the B&T fore end. I tried a Surefire for end and it was really wide... not to my liking. the B&T has a narrow girth on the bottom rail making it very comfortable to hold, even more so than the stock fore end. I will say the B&T does add weight, but it isn't that significant. With the full length M4, I'd stick with the stock fore end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Gun Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 ...and that's what I'm talking about Nice pics Mikjk. BTW What do you have behind GG&G bolt relase button? (piece of tape). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Looks like a method of preventing the button from marking up the receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say the B&T does add weight, but it isn't that significant. With the full length M4, I'd stick with the stock fore end. Very nice set up!! Honestly, my back is hurting just thinking of the weight of that puppy fully loaded. All I put on mine was a sidearmor rail system and I'm already debating on taking it off due to the added weight. I even went the route of changing the magazine tube to titanium one. I found that when using my shorty all decked out for 3 gun, I find myself slowing my transitions between targets. I know how tacti-cool it is to dress our guns and all but lately I've been asking myself the question wether I'm being a tacti-fool by losing a bit of functionality. But it sure is fun having people walk up to me asking me what the h3ll I'm holding. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Completely agree with the weight assessment. I moved away from full rail systems on my AR15's for the same reason. I had the older SideArmor top rail for a while in order to mount my light. Then I transitioned to the Surefire M80 with an offset mount. I hated the ergonomics and wished I was running the factory handguards again. It bugged me for about a year before I had enough of it and decided I would fix the problem myself. I hacked up a set of FFT handguards and mounted an IWC light mount to the plastic handguard. Fun ensued as I filled around the mounting points with epoxy. Then I had the parts refinished in Cerakote. While it doesn't look 100% perfect, it is 100% functional. The only thing that would make this better would be if it was a 14" rig, or an even shorter 12.5" custom job.

bm4sbs Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Working on this problem. Soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bm4sbs Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 As for 12.5 in, I consider it everytime I pick up my m4, but I am not sure it's worth giving up another round for those precious inches. I do/I don't depends on the time of day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I figure if you are cutting an 18.5" down, it might be worth considering. Kip said he would do a custom length if needed. I'd probably need an M300 Scout then! A concept build I was thinking about, this is more like a 10.5" barrel; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawtgun Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Now that's a shorty..... Any shorter and you might as well have a pocket full of M80's and throw em at your threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Fab Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Honestly, the 14" is about the limit to what I would consider viable for its intended use......otherwise, it's basically a semi auto Serbu Shorty that would most likely need port modification for reliable cycling. Also, recoil in the 14" is noticeably more than the 18.5" model. I love my 14" but really wouldn't want anything shorter after using it for a while.
