ohbejuan Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Just an update for those wondering. I'm still waiting for my CC 5 rd tube for my SBS. It just hit the 6 month mark, but it should be soon! They make awesome stuff, but you must learn patience Quote
HMLA-167 Warrior Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 What's the estimated weight saving? About the same as the weight of the extra shells that are carried. Quote
StrangerDanger Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 No extra shells in the 5 round tubes. Estimated weight savings would be about 2 - 2.5 ounces vs. the OEM tube. Plus the corrosion resistance and color match properties. I have a muted finish one on order since 4/21/2015. No word yet. Quote
calviroman Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I have one of Kip's 5-shell tubes on my M4 SBS...perfect finish and machining as expected. Quote

Oops. reading comprehension fail. 5... 7... close enough for government work ha ha. Quote
ohbejuan Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 Looks like we ordered around the same time, 4/14/15 on mine. Still no word other than it's in the current batch Quote
ohbejuan Posted October 21, 2015 Author Posted October 21, 2015 Just got word that they are finishing up the coating on these today/tomorrow and they hope to ship tomorrow or the next day! Quote
cspcrx Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Glad to hear its on its way. I am still waiting for them to start making their charging handles again. About every 6-8 months I ask about them they say they still plan on making them. fingers crossed! Quote

About every 6-8 months I ask about them they say they still plan on making them. fingers crossed! I am with you there. Would love to have one of their charging handles. Hopefully they start production on those again sometime in the near future. Quote
