I find it quite interesting how everybody thinks they have an M4 barrel and brag about features such as F stamped FSB, feedramps, MP testing, blah, blah, blah, yet they can't seem to use a M4 notched handguard cap on a M4 barrel.

What is the intended purpose of the two notches? M203?

Yep; the notches are made so that the M203 can clear the handguard cap.

Well, an F marked FSB works better with certain BUIS'
Feed ramps should keep FTF's lessened MP barrels should be better quality and take more abuse. All things that every rifle could use to improve reliabilty. an M203 notch is used by what, 3-5% of all AR/M16 civilian use? Wait about 10-20 years...then the acurate parts will start coming into play...

Cause I am not trying to reproduce anything exactly and I don't us an M203. However the other things, I do use.

I have no use for a notched handguard cap. In fact, I have no use for a notched barrel.
I don't use Wiley-X shooting glasses, either. |

The man's got it all figured out. I don't care how Ubertactical an M4 profiled barrel looks like; I don't see myself having an M203 anytime soon, I'll stick with a regular AR barrel anyday. Notched handguard caps on a civilian AR15 are as useful as spinners on hubcaps. |

Maybe because they don't have an M-203.
I dont see how building a personal rifle benefits from slavishly sticking to mil-spec peculiar interchangability options I have no desire to exercise. The extra security of an intact handguard cap will be of greater benefit to me, as I have no intentions of defiling my rifle with a clunky blooper. None of my carbines even have a handguard cap, LOL. |

Well only 3-5% of the civilain population pushes there rifle to the limit where MP testing and feedramps matter. Nice logic on you part. You got it thrown right back in your face. |

And it doesn't matter if you guys aren't using a M203.
That doesn't negate the fact that some companies say there stuff is milspec when it is not. |

Mil-Spec is a bunch of crap that newbs care about, as far as features go. I only care about mil-spec insofar as I want materials and finishes that meet or exceed the spec. |

Never owned a KAC RAS. Does mounting one with a cap negate the FF aspect?
Or can you even mount a cap with the KAC? |

it's the little round or triangle thing behind the front sight base that standard handguards snap into.

I just threw all of my AR's in the trash. My Colt went in first for having a commie sear-block (not mil-spec), commie FCG pins that are oversized (not mil-spec), and because it didn't say M4 on it. The rest of my AR's had to go because they didn't have mil-spec handguard caps.

A KAC RAS is not a FF hand guard. It attaches using the front cap and the delta ring like a regular hand guard but has a lever that tightens up in the back to lock the HG to the barrel nut. |

And for you people who think this is a pro-Colt thread...
Can you point out where I stated the word "Colt" in this entire thread? What do you guys have to say about other companies (Bushy, LMT) offering the correct handguard cap? |
|
|
|
Posted: 3/22/2006 3:36:24 PM EDT
[#34]
Can you point out where someone stated this was a pro colt thread? As far as the other caps go........ No one gives a crap. Other manufactures that offer the cap? Mosty likely that was whats avaliable at the lowest price. How about you proving that the caps are actually manufactured by the said vendors. Your the self proclaimed expert here, you should know that any given AR type rifle here is not a throughbred. Including the Colts you seem to stroke. |

One came with my Bushy M4 1/7 assembly..was curious why the cap looked like that but it doesent matter I dont have an M203...besides what were they doing to XM177s to get the M203 on with out those cuts back in the old days.If they would make the 203 quick release you probably wouldnt even see the M4 profile.

That is a great question. I never understood the point of modifing every subsequent weapon in the inventory instead of modifing the 203s(or mount up) which is much cheaper in the long run. I guess if I were spending someone else's money I wouldn't care either. |

I fail to see how this would be any simplier. You would have two different types of mounts. |

Posted: 3/22/2006 5:53:04 PM EDT

It is simple- in a rifle SQD, there is two grenadiers. In the same SQD, there is 5 riflemen. SO why modify 5 additional carbines instead of just the 2 M203s? Modify 2x M203s (or mounts) or modify 7 weapons |

|
|
|
Posted: 3/22/2006 6:48:05 PM EDT
[#48]
Because you don't know what carbines/rifles will be fitted with an M203 at the time of manufacture.
Still not really following you either. Could you elaborate more. |
|
|
|
Posted: 3/22/2006 9:42:20 PM EDT
[#49]
That is why my response was to modify the M203 or mount not the weapon. If you can't follow the discussion son, don't try. |

I was trying to get you to explain you position better to make sure what you're saying is what I am understanding Because you position is wrong and don't call me "son" It is more work to manufacture and stock two types of mounts. Instead of performing two simple machining steps on one type of weapon. |
