No. 6 35 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 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 Share Posted July 8 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 24 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 (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 by Milspec 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Evolution 70 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 (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 by Evolution Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StrangerDanger 372 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 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 35 Posted July 12 Author Share Posted July 12 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 24 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 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 372 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 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

Milspec 24 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Can you paint carbon fiber? I don't know that I would. I'm just curious how well the paint would adhere. 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
StrangerDanger 372 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Got any better pictures of the Briley tube? Their picture skills are lacking. I’m hoping the pattern is similar to the sexy Super Sports. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
