Finally got my M4 tube installed!

After two hours of not knowing what I'm doing, I finally got the tube on.

Had to turn on high heat on this one for a few minutes. A little smoke came out and my smoke detector is still ringing in my head.

 

This is from Dave Metal Works. Perfect for $70 including the spring.

I haven't seen the $200 tubes, but not sure why they are so expensive.

Looks good bro.

 

I have a Daves 1pc tube on the way myself, should be here in a few days.

 

 

As for the $200+ tubes, the price is insanse as what the coll stocks are bringing these days.

 

As the son of a machine shop owner, I know that there isnt NEARLY $200 in these pieces.

The tube is steel. The thickness feels the same as the original. The color is a bit darker. The tube is smooth on the outside and does not have the texture like the original. The collar is a separate piece of ring. Both end of the threads fit perfectly.
