That is gorgeous. I'm looking to do something similar. Hard to tell, but is there a light on the other side? Quote HistoryQuoted:

M4 owners will fight to the death over that black carriercomp charging handle hand carriercomp top tail. Care to explain? I'm new to this but my father just purchased that M4, what makes these parts so sought after? |

Not currently in production. Any reason they are better than the Freedom Fighter unit that's half the price? |

Reputation of the manufacturer, plus the bolt handle uses a combination of steel and titanium. The steel part will last longer and show less wear when removed and reinserted into the bolt, and the titanium helps bring the overall weight down. Too much weight on the bolt can cause cycling problems. The top rail is all steel, and very nicely made. They really are nice parts. |

Actually, Freedom Fighter's parts are generally more expensive than carriercomps. Freedom Fighter's parts can normally be had relatively quickly. The machining on the carriercomp parts is superior to the Freedom Fighters. <a href="http://s1295.photobucket.com/user/jealifer/media/Benelli%20M4/Parts/005_zps3a4c5612.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/b639/jealifer/Benelli%20M4/Parts/005_zps3a4c5612.jpg</a> Top Rails compared. The carriercomp unit has been tumbled to remove sharp edges. <a href="http://s1295.photobucket.com/user/jealifer/media/Benelli%20M4/Parts/006_zpsa09ec7ae.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/b639/jealifer/Benelli%20M4/Parts/006_zpsa09ec7ae.jpg</a> Bolt handles. You can see the knurling on the carriercomp unit is far nicer. The primary benefit is the carriercomp unit uses a steel shaft so that the tip won't wear where the detent engages the notches on the bolt handle. <a href="http://s1295.photobucket.com/user/jealifer/media/Benelli%20M4/Trigger%20Group/DSC00137_zps10184e4b.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i1295.photobucket.com/albums/b639/jealifer/Benelli%20M4/Trigger%20Group/DSC00137_zps10184e4b.jpg</a> Hammers compared. Here you can see the OEM and FFT hammers show signs of deformation where the hammer impacts the back of the bolt carrier. The Geissele/carriercomp hammer shows little signage of wear. Or reference, the OEM used hammer has about 12000 rounds on it. The FFT and carriercomp/Geissele hammer have about 2000 rounds on them. As for the magazine tubes, the carriercomps have a little nicer machining on the threaded portions of the tube. The color finish of the carriercomp matches the M4 a little better. Bad thing about carriercomp is they take forever to get anything from. I own both carriercomp and FFT parts. So I feel I can provide an honest opinion. Wow! that is one hell of an explanation, thank you very much for making it easy to understand. |

Carrier Comp has outstanding machining skills
I'll play, M2 retro-fitted to use A.R.G.O. and Comfortech and my trusty M1014
