Unobtanium Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 I am contemplating buying a spare barrel for my M4 SBS, so I can take the gas-caps and pistons off of the barrel for spares (I have a significant stash of spare parts, but missing these). I would then offer the LNIB barrel (minus pistons and gas caps, but INCLUDING FRONT SIGHT) to this forum for sale. It could be used with your 18.5" pistons/gas caps, once you Form 1 your Benelli M4, and would be the cheapest way of obtaining an SBS'ed M4. What does the hive think such a creature would be worth/what is someone willing to pay? Quote
Toaster Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Seems like a silly idea. Wasteful. Then I'm left with a long barrel that don't work. I'd rather have the spare bird barrel. What spares you need.. why? If you think it's a design weakness, get us some Ti pistons made. Quote

What spares you need.. why? If you think it's a design weakness, get us some Ti pistons made. This is the absolute cheapest way anyone will SBS their M4. It's an idea that will sell just fine. The pistons are what break, after many tens of thousands of rounds. The gas caps, eh, spares are spares. If you want to use your long barrel again, nothing more is required than field-stripping to transfer the pistons/caps back. Edited April 5, 2018 by Unobtanium Quote
StrangerDanger Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 If you’re after pistons and plugs, the cheapest route would be to buy someone’s 18.5 that frequently pop up for like 400-450. Take the plugs and piston then resell the barrel for like 300-350. Quote
Super M4 Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 I just recently got a 14" barrel and I have been contemplating selling my factory 18" barrel. Let me know if you are interested and what you think the factory barrel is worth. Quote
