Alaskapopo Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 I can't get the darn thing to fit on the gun. Any tricks to it. Its the Surefire M80 rail system. pat Quote
Super M4 Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 You have to take the barrel off the gun, and gently pull the rubber gas piston cover back and hook it in on one side, it will pop right into place, then slide it toward the muzzle end to lock into place. Quote
Alaskapopo Posted October 7, 2007 Author Posted October 7, 2007 The problem I am having is once it is on the barrel it will not lock into place on the muzzle end. My M4 is brand new did the change something recently. When I screw the magazine tube end cap on I can fully lock the barrel into the reciever. Pat Quote
Flame Red Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 I think I had the same deal and I just played around with it a bit and figured it out. I did put put a good coat of oil on the barrel to let it move and as corrosion protection. Seemed to slip right into place with a bit of fidgeting. No force was necessary. You don't have it on backwards? Quote
Alaskapopo Posted October 10, 2007 Author Posted October 10, 2007 I sent it back today. They must have changed the barrel band shape as it did not line up with who the hand guard was cut at all. It was on correctly. Pat Quote
pamat Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 How old is your M4? I bought mine last year and the surefire fit perfect. Quote
Alaskapopo Posted October 11, 2007 Author Posted October 11, 2007 Its brand new. I think they changed the forend. I could be wrong. Which is kind of a bummer because I really wanted that M80 to work. Pat Quote
