M4-Desert Camo Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Well I was hoping Carrier Comp would start sales back up again soon but it doesn't appear so. So ... to beat the new laws going into affect in my state soon, I'm going to order a tube from FFT for my Desert Camo M4. Besides cost and weight ... Pro's/Cons for Titanium vs steel? Quote
calviroman Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Go Ti -- takes weight off the worst part of the firearm to have extra weight...faster on target and better all around Quote
StrangerDanger Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 I've had excellent luck with FFT titanium tubes. I would go with the weight reduction. Quote
M4-Desert Camo Posted August 31, 2013 Author Posted August 31, 2013 Decision made .... now can Titanium be reliably coated if I decide to try and match the Desert Tan? Quote
StrangerDanger Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Sure. Cerakote will adhere to Titanium quite well. I used it on my Burnt Bronze build. Figuring out exactly what color to use to match Benelli's version of tan may be difficult. Carriercomp would be the one to get ahold of since they make their desert tan tubes to match the OEM scheme.

Yeah, thats why I was hoping Carrier Comp would start up ordering soon, wanted to do their version. Quote
StrangerDanger Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Kip might be willing to share what color he is using. I know he is making his own blend for the black units. Maybe he'd be willing to paint one for you? Quote
