DigCowboy Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) I have been lurking and learned a lot since purchasing my M4 a few months ago. Today I installed one of SOCOMguy’s (of this forum) 7 round mag tube today. When I first got a hold of him he had several black ready to roll out the door. I wanted to match my Titanium Cerakote, so he had a custom coating done and the color match is PERFECT. I just wanted to post a few pics so anyone looking at their options can see what it looks like installed. The install went smooth, thanks to being prepped with information found here. I also added the FFT forends and follower for 922R compliance. I think it took longer to get the FFT forends on than to change the magazine tube (about 20 min.). Then thanks to the instructions on FFT's site, I put the forward ends of the forends in first and installation then went smooth. I think they should put the install tip in the bag with the parts !

ButchP Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Looks good! Joe is a great guy. I ordered a tube from him and it is really nice. I ordered a heat gun to assist with the removal of factory tube, but read somewhere a blow dryer did the same thing so I gave it a shot and 15 min later it was off and new one was on. Needless to say in my case, didn't need the specialty heat gun. Quote
Jaason0 Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Are they about the same weight as the Benelli 7rd tubes? Quote

Jaason0 Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 That is awesome. Was just curious. I had a freedom fighter one i liked but friend talked me out of it so need another lol Quote

RJHUB Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 New to forum and M4. How do you get in touch with SOCOMguy to order and how much is H20 match? Thanks, Russ Quote
Freelancer99 Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 The SOCOMguy can be reached at [email protected] 1 Quote
Jaason0 Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 So glad I saw this post. I got mine about a week ago and WOOOOOW. The match is incredible and it is just great quality. I can t imagine find a better tube than this one. It has to be very hard to get a perfect match on these tubes but I can t imagine the H20 ones getting much better. I am thoroughly impressed with the H20 one I got. Quote
RJHUB Posted March 29, 2021 Posted March 29, 2021 How much are they(H2O)? I sent an email and waiting on reply. Are you using oriiginal spring with his tube? Thanks, Russ Quote

SOCOMguy Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Definitely one of my tubes. I have a small shop operation, limited quantity, high quality. Helping a few guys on this forum with reasonable price tube is good .... enriching a shady third party, not good! Joe 1 Quote

Evolution Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) Are the threads on SOCOM GUY's tubes left in the white or are are they coated with whatever finish? Never mind...I just saw a closeup in the above pics and the threads seem to be finished. Edited March 30, 2021 by Evolution Quote
jlgarza Posted May 17, 2022 Posted May 17, 2022 Another ? for Joe (SOCOMguy). I bought one his 7rd tubes and it matched the black perfectly. And his communication and customer service are second to none. He was even willing to fix a mistake I made when installing the tube. Let’s just say I shouldn’t ate that popcorn! Luckily he walked me through the steps to correct and I couldn’t be happier! Great price, great product! Thanks, Garza 1 Quote

Thanks, Russ Joe actually recommends using the existing 5rd spring, which I did. I ran about 100 rds so far with the 5rd spring in the 7rd tube, and no failures. Thanks, Garza Quote
Tman Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Hey, does anyone have Joe’s ph number they can send to me? I want to get his 7 round magazine tube. I emailed his hotmail account, but not sure it’s active any more? No one I know uses hotmail any more. Thanks, Trevis Quote
