So what's the poop on 'em? I was thinking of the 12" carbon fiber FF tube for a .22 build. Anyone know anything about 'em?

My 15" came in yesterday. I'm putting together an 18" gun for 3 gun. I got mine from Loki but it's the AP customs tube. They're nice looking, thin walled and light. The tube mounts by screws to a 2 piece metal barrel that fits over the barrel nut and clamps solidly. The tube is very rigid and I think weighs 5 or 6 ounces.

I have a 15" AP on a 20". They are ultra lightweight (6.5oz with trunnion) and pretty rigid, the CF is about a 1/16" thick. I got the dull finished model with a bit of custom hole and slot work (no charge). Evidently AP is making a more tactical version with a top rail now, I've seen a picture of it but don't know the details.

I have 3 of them. One on my 6.8 and two on my 5.56's. Lightweight and strong. Really nice clamping system that attaches to the factory barrel nut. Aaron's a great guy to deal with!!
