ClackClackBAM Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) I see. Well, maybe I'll just use the factory tube instead. I mean, it's only a 5.5 ounce weight difference, basically two shells. Is it really that noticeable?

Is it really that noticeable? @ClackClackBAM Well I just went to the range this evening and tried my M4 for the first time since getting it, and I felt the limitations of a smaller magazine capacity. Personally, I will be overjoyed as soon as I have my Carrier Comp tube on hand! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOCOMguy Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I'm still around after 15 years at this and have a couple of FL steel tubes ready to ship... do a search here for references. Or e mail themalt @ hotmail.com Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually bought it from Redneck Tactical which still cracks me up today. It's a "precision" bent piece of metal that is redneck genius. Kind'a like your wife using your trolling motor to dice-up a bucket full of crawdads to make gumbo! It works.... . The biggest draaawback is it is held in place by the right forearm piece and will fall free when you begin to disassemble the gun. In other words, it's easy to lose. I tried to lose it many times but the metal clang when it fell on the floor alerted me to go looking for it. Having said that, it worked and served me very well for years before recently swapping it out for a GG&G assembly with oversized bolt release pad/button. I did that after my OEM shellstop/bolt release broke. It works. Thanks Birdog. Ordered one and will give it a try. Appreciate your feedback.

ClackClackBAM Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 So it looks like I might have been premature with ordering that OEM 7 round tube. Spoke with Marcy at CC yesterday and she told me they are about a week away from finishing the batch before mine, so I'll most likely see the tube early to mid-June. If I were to take it off then repackage it with the CC Wolff spring and CC 922R follower, what could I get for it? Paid $200, so hopefully I won't lose too much.

MNtadpole Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 @ClackClackBAM Hey did you ever get your mag tube in the mail? I just got called by CC for my order's payment. They had indicated that the my order should be coming through in the next two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrayos Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 They call you? Or email? i should be getting contacted shortly too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClackClackBAM Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 Yup! She called me about a week ago for payment. It's delayed a bit because she broke her leg last weekend and needed a few days to get sorted. Spoke with her earlier this week though and she is getting around just fine, thankfully. The tubes were getting media blasted then coated, so she expects to start shipping close to the end of this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClackClackBAM Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 I just received my shipping update, so I’m guessing I’ll receive the tracking within a day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNtadpole Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 @ClackClackBAM Well that's pretty exciting! How long did you wait from the call of payment to receiving the shipping update? IDK about you, but I'm tried of loading up, in most cases, 4+1 shells into the M4. I NEED MORE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClackClackBAM Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 It was about a week. With CC shipping notifications usually come within a day or so of payment, but Marcy got hurt so that pushed things back by a couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The finish is as near perfect as I think it can get, and the tube itself is amazing. Super light, perfect threads. It looks amazing on the gun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IYAAYAS Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I paid for mine the 25th, got an email with no tracking number saying it shipped on the 1st, but I still haven't gotten anything. I'm going to send an email to find out what's going on. Seems other people with that time frame already have theirs :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have to ask for the tracking number, so you might want to reach out. Aviation Ordinance huh? I thought I would escape all the IYAAYAS business lol.
