I have an Elite Entry Tactical with a mid length handguard. Can I change that configuration to a floating barrel and what parts would I need to purchase to do it.

AR0010CAH is the Rock River FF mid length tube. I was thinking the Entry Tacts were carbine length.

Get a good receiver clamp, a better heavy vice and a good armorer's tool. WOuld e handy to have a torque wrench but some of the Hogue directions state to tighten until you have use a strap wrench and then align the next gas tube hole. Takes all of 30 minutes. Don't forget to use a good moly grease when you thread it on.
