NoTycoon Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 15 hours ago, huskAR said: OHHH. and I forgot to mention the most important disappointment in installing the 7 shot magazine tube. It only holds 6 shots. After all the hassle, you come to find out that the 7th shell wont fit. You are about 1/4" short. After much research I found a video where the manufacturer suggests that you shop around for an ammo brand that has slighter shorter shells so you can fit the 7th shell. So far I haven't found one. Don't mean to steal the thread but, the 7 shot tube will hold seven shells once you trim the length of the spring.

huskAR Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 NoTycoon, thank you for the hint on the 7 shot magazine. That would be a great relief if I could fix that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RxArms Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 You can always run your M4 without the retaining spring and use the cap as the spring retainer. It will give you a bit more capacity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullassault Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Interesting, my CC & OEM tube both hold 7. no spring chop although the last one is tight I haven’t found anything 2 3/4 that doesn’t fit 7. maybe the FFT is a bit short? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huskAR Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 Fullassault, what brand of ammo are you using to get 7 rounds? I have heard variance in shell length can contribute to the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
