My postban Bushy A2 is over 12 lbs!
I knew the bipod and scope were not the only reason. I took off the hand guards and saw something I aint seen before. Can anyone identify this "attachment"?

My bet is its a lead weight. Hi power shooters use them. Is it a DCM model rifle?

It is a free float tube with a thick diameter? It is a FF tube though.

looks like a freefloat tube that bushmaster sells. Get rid of it!

DCM freefloat tube, it's used to freefloat standard handguards.

Yep, it's a 'service class' legal float tube. It allows you to use full sling tension without influencing the point of impact.
EDITED TO ADD: This is kind of odd considering that muzzle brakes are NOT service rifle legal. BTW, unless it has a super heavy barrel, a float tube alone should not bring it up to 12 pounds. Take a look inside the buttstock compartment. |

how do you get it off?
BTW It is a very accurate rifle. I've never hit 1 inch circles at 100 yards as consistent as with this rifle (And Scope). I still want it off though. |

Why do you want to take it off? That tube is probably the reason it's so accurate.

You don't get it off. It is a good thing. You pay extra for that. Look in the buttstock. There is probably a 4 lb lead weight in there. Also, is the barrel an extra heavy unit? |

I'm sure Y'all are right.
If I want lightweight I'll get a carbine. Thanks for the info. |

Oh boy. sounds like reason to buy another upper!
Seriously though. Keep it for bench shooting, and get a 14.5 barrel with a pinned flash suppressor and flat top style upper for all your lightweight fun needs. |

Oh boy, I'll try to make it short. If you want the full poop, post that question in the Competition forum. In High Power competition there's different classes. The basic ones are: John C. Garand (WW1 and WW2 rifles only) Service (M1, M14/M1A, M16/AR15) Match Each class has different rules for allowable modifications. Garand allows the fewest modifications and match class is pretty much limited only by your wallet. |
