DigCowboy 2 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (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 11 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Jaason0 6 Posted Tuesday at 11:02 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:02 PM Are they about the same weight as the Benelli 7rd tubes? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
