No. 6 39 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 NO! Not the "rona! I've had BRD (black rifle disease) for years. But now I've caught the BSD (black shotgun disease). And worse I got the SBS variant (11722).... The "official" diagnosis is when you start buying accessories for the base gun. And I've got it now, "officially". Scored an AVA mount with Surefire flashlight last month and just placed the order with CC for a Ti tube. There is no hope for me now. Save yourself.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vertigofirearms 59 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 The only cure for your disease is to move to California where they suppress and torture your disease 😂. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Milspec 39 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) Stay with the BRD and cherish it. Don't venture into SD's H2O thread and get the NP3 bug. Once you go down that road all is truly lost. On top of it I've been salivating for a Tavor TS12. Not good! Edited July 8, 2020 by Milspec 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Evolution 72 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) I ordered a CC muted Ti tube about a week ago. Their site states that shipping out is from 20 to 45 days from order placing. Not too bad. Edited July 8, 2020 by Evolution Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StrangerDanger 493 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 There is a black one listed on gunbroker. https://www.gunbroker.com/a/my-gunbroker/sell/selling?TimeFrame=17&Filter=0 Im thinking about giving one of the carbon fiber magazine tubes a try. They’re 3.4 ounces. Carriercomps come in at 5.5 ounces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No. 6 39 Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 It's getting worse. Yesterday at work I looked in the Benelli catalog for another M4 (11707) to go with my SBS Benelli (11722). Oh, the humanity.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Milspec 39 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Yesterday I calculated how much I'll have into my M4 when it's done. I almost threw up. I think when I get it back I might sell it on GB if the prices are still dumb. Then I'll go back to a semi bare bones M4 with a couple modest up grades. It's truly got out of control. I thought the cost of NP3 was over going board. Then I added up all the upgrade parts and that number by itself blew past plating. WTH? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StrangerDanger 493 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Never add up parts! Live in denial and pretend it only costs as much as you told your wife. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know it's better than acrylic etc but it sucks to work with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
