Do you hard anodize the upper after the feed ramps are cut?

Bravo Company will be using CMT M4 upper receivers which already have the extended feed ramps done at the factory. In otherwords the feed ramps are already anodized!

Yup, Here is an excerpt from our ad copy . . . M4 Feed Ramp Barrels M4 Feed Ramp Upper Receiver In developing the USGI M4 carbine as one of the primary weapons for today’s infantry, some modifications were performed to the original M16 platform to enhance the reliability of the shorter barreled carbines. With the shorter carbine gas system and the increased gas port pressure, the carbine cycled faster, and at times the cycle rate could be faster than the magazine would feed ammunition. One of the modifications done to increase reliable feeding included enhancing the angle and the length of the feed ramps. This USGI modification was done to both the barrel extension and the upper receiver, creating a longer and steeper feed ramp. These Mil-Spec M4 feed ramps are part of the original CNC manufacturing process. As a result, the factory machined M4 feed ramps on the receiver are hard coat anodized which adds significant strength to the aluminum. This feature is offered on all BCM uppers and all BCM barrels. Thanks to all for their interest! Paul |

I need a 16" M4 barrel.
I'm just a click away from buying the CMMG, tell me why I should choose the Bravo Brand, other than there would be no sales tax. Ah hell. Your good people, you sell good stuff and your damn helpful in the forums. How much do you want for it? |

Any chance of seeing a lightweight 16 or 20 with 1/7 twist? Or maybe a mid length, light weight with same twist?
Dont get me wrong, I may still get 3 of everything youve got so far, but I need some light weight barrels for some builds. |

I am a big fan of lightweight stuff. That is why our all of the current barrels offered have the USGI government profile. Other than the barrels listed, the only other one that is currently "on the drawing board" is the 11.5 inch shorty. I do like the idea of the 16" lightweight in the future, but don't have immediate plans for one. |

I know what you have gone thru to get the barrels right. It will be my pleasure to offer the barrels and uppers as soon as they are available. As you guys know I only carry products I have the upmost confidence in and Bravo Mfg has gone the extra mile or two on these to insure top of the line quality, reliability and value. Denny |

Please enlighten me on this: As I understand it, Colt "owns" the M4 technical data package and
specifically owns the M4 feedramps. Last I heard...and it's been a while....nobody but Colt could include the M4 type feedramps in a barrel extension or upper receiver. Has this changed? Is your inclusion of the M4 feedramps something that Colt can no longer touch? I HOPE so. My information isn't very current, so please, tell me what's up these days with that. Don't think I'm trying to pee on the thread. I LIKE what you're doing. I just seek some reassurance that what you're doing isn't going to get you in any trouble. In part because if I should buy from you at a later time, I'd expect those M4 feedramps to be there and not deleted as a result of legal action. CJ |

To be honest with you, I've allways wondered about this too. However, I wouldn't let it effect your purchasing decisions. There are lots of people out there offering them now, and if something was going to happen I think it would have happened by now I think. If you're thinking about buying something, just buy it and be happy. |

CJ,
Colt patent or not many companies have been using real M4 barrel extentions for a long time. No surprises here, what else would you expect from Bravao Comapany?
|

|
|
Posted: 12/11/2005 3:36:59 PM EDT

The M4 feed ramp option is becoming more popular. Some dremel them and others have it as an OEM part. Colt owns the TDP and guards its' disclosure, but I would guess the steeper and longer ramp is not different enough over the standard barrel extension to warrant a patent ? |

I wish I could take better and clearer pics, but this is the M4 barrel markings.  HP MP 1/7 5.56 NATO HP – HPT (High Pressure Test) MP – MPI (Magnetic Particle Inspection) 1/7 – Twist Rate 5.56 NATO – Chamber Size (all BCM barrels will have a chrome bore and chamber) We chose HP MP as a proof mark, to differentiate from other commercially offered barrels. Where MP could mean HPT and MPI, or just MPI, or other? We thought it was a clearer description. |

Hi Jeff, Sorry, I didn't even realize I did not post the pricing. A barreled upper (less: b/bc/ch and handguards) retails for $435. We will have them on a kind of introductory sale price of $399. We currently have a small amount 16" and 14.5" in stock. MI has some 16" Grant at G&R Tactical has some 16" and 14.5" enroute Denny at Dennys Guns (Global Tactical) also has some 16" and 14.5" enroute Thanks for asking, Paul |
