Just came across this while looking
Armalite is now introducing a semi-auto version of the Mid-Length Carbine called the Special Operations Forces (SOF) Carbine. This is a post-ban gun that features a fixed-position telescoping/retractable-style stock, M4-style 16" barrel w/muzzle brake. The Armalite SOF Carbine will be available in both A2 and A4 configurations. Armalite also has AR-10 versions in 7.62x51mm/.308 caliber. According to reports, the Armalite Mid-Length Carbine is 100% mil-spec. Also, the feed ramps of the barrel extension extend down into the mag well for greater feed reliability under adverse conditions. This should greatly reduce the risk of nose dives. As if all this isn't news enough, there's a new mil-spec A.R.M.S. Mid-Length S.I.R. System designed to perfectly complement the Armalite Mid-Length Carbine and SOF Carbine. The new A.R.M.S. Mid-Length S.I.R. System apparently mates perfectly to the Mid-Length Carbine(and SOF Carbine) upper receiver, since both components are mil-spec. http://www.defensereview.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=360 |

I guess I should clarify. Is this Armalites modification, or is it a true colt style M4 ramp?
Please do not reply unless you are in the know.

Well I remember reading the same thing from armalite. It is not the standard rifle feed ramp. Is it Armalites copy of the M4 feed ramp or is it to Colt's specifications. I don't care about defense review, heads, crack or streets.

Look at this you can see albeit poorly the cut in the upper receiver. A standard rifle does not have this. The cut was there before anodizing and matches perfectly with the barrel extension.
Is it an exact copy of the colt M4 ramp? is it Armalites Fuck defense review

Hmm. where are all the quick answers now? Everyone must be looking... thinking realizing that feed ramp is not a standard rifle, but what is it? M4 style for sure.

Is it me or does a high post count indicate an inverse relationship with what the poster is actually correct about. Higher the post count = less precise answers.

Is it me or do people who joined here in 2004 rude and a PITA? Hmm looks like Armalite recently changed - sorry if I didn't get the freaking memo. Still doesn't help DefenseReviews credibility - even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while. |

Armalite has dropped the SOF from their catalog of rifles, but the last 7 no-ban M15A4 and A2 Carbines we got in the shop all had the M4 style feed ramp cuts.

When I visited Armalite, there was a rack of bins full of barrel extensions. (Many hundreds, probably thousands of b-e.) They were all cut to M4 style. As I didn't have a pair of dial calipers in my pocket, I couldn't measure them to determine if they were exactly to Colt specs, but they sure looked like they'd do the job if they weren't.

Thanks for all the info everyone
Sorry Forest it just seems that I get a lot of right and wrong answers from high post count know it alls that never seem to post any questions. It's like some people always need to have an answer. I may have been wrong to group you in with them. |
