How do you attach you sling?
Really, I'm not even being a smart ass (seriously, I'm not, dammit). Inquiring minds want to know! ![]() EDITED to say, BTW, very good looking M4gery. Clean and correct, except for the side sling mount. (Doh! Did I say that outloud? ![]() Don't worry about me, I just spend three days building a playhouse and am feeling kind'a cheeky right about now. (The medicinal beer didn't help!!) |

very nice! i need to build myself one of those. is it a virgin? the reason i ask is because there is not a single mark on the brass deflector. i have only shot about 300 rounds out of my bushmaster and it is all marked up. i have tried to clean it up but they dont come off.

Sharp eye Corey. My old Colt's two pin side swivel adaptor is gone, sold it with the Bushmaster M4 barrel, did not have a chance to take it off, those are a bear to remove. I have the new one pin Colt's side swivel on the way, hope to have it here by Friday or so. Will be sure to post a pic of it once it is installed just for you, hehe. Had to take the factory installed bottom swivel off, cause I had to do some refinish work to cover the weld job, and that rubber coated swivel would not survive the acetone soak, and the 400 degree bake in the oven.
durk, I have not shot it yet, just got it put together and I bent the gas tube, so have one on the way (same source as the swivel). |

Nice gun.
Where did you get the case and sling? Can't quite tell, did you put a side-sling swivel on the barrel, or is it just the sling? |
|

Nice looking rifle. I have been wanting to put one together myself, but dont have the funds for another pre-ban lower just yet.

Ekie- thanks. i've seen some of your toys on the web from time to time. we have a lot of tastes in common.
![]() i just wanted to see what kind of pics it took. i have rather a LARGE collection of militaria to document, and i'm trying to decide to do it that way (of course i'll take more time to set up)or to use some soon-to-be marines i know as models. that is IF i can get them to stop being grabastic long enough. kids... hey, get yourself to a gunshow and find a vendor who has a roll of the cordura they cut the slings from at home. have him cut you a 6 foot sling. very handy for patrol carry with the m4. it's authentic. i've found that many of the real dudes do that as well. you'll thank me. after training i believe that tac slings are not all that their cracked up to be, and a short carry strap alone is just about useless. |

Glad to hear you like me toys, sounds like you got great taste in firearms. Guess you must stop by the falfiles and or ak-47.net? Don't hang out here to often, even though I am big on ARs for some reason I like talking about AKs more.
So you have a bunch of field gear you want to shoot pics of? Have you seen my "M16A2" with field gear pics? Or the AKS-74 with a limited amount of gear? Thanks for the tips on the sling. Going to leave the M4gery as is. For actual use I prefer my AR-10B, it is the only rifle I take any where other then the range, and it has no sling on it. Might get a sling for it someday though, but slings tend to make me lazy if you know what I mean? |

THOSE RED "X"S look pretty good....
what? did you forget the fat lying seal banned my ass? and therefore i can't see your pics...and neither can all the other guys that are banned and now over here? harrrumph! |
|
ak47.net mostly. i lurk around looking for nuggets of information while avoiding the bs and the ego wars. occasionsaly i'll post if i know something. don't visit the fal files much. there dosent seem to be as much jucy info there. maybe you can give me some pointers on how to tap into it? i'm here to learn! i've been collecting (and tinkering with)weapons and combat gear for about 10 yrs. i used to just about lick the pages of fighting firearms and machinegun news. (i'm holder of the coveted order of the RKI. and according to my friends, a bona-fide member of team dremel.
![]() i would love to see those pics. if there on the web, tell me where i can find them. i was under the impression you were a 'smith did i get that wrong? bob, you can't see pics here because you were banned on ak47.net?[:\] |

There is some board rivalry between this board and the other. Would hope this thread would avoid a discussion of board politics.
FF was the best, got every issue, never seen a MGNs, but have every issue of SAR. I will send some pics to you via e-mail tomorrow, you got a high speed confection, some are large, and I have lots. |
|
not politics, software. are the pics hosted over there or something?
SAR rules! dan shea tolerates a lot of annoying questions at knob creek. i know, i've put him to the test. nice guy. naw, i've just got a dialup and a little laptop. start with a couple and we'll see how it goes. thanks. 'night- john |

ekie hosted his pics on the gunsnet server. since beauxhuntress/duhthorn/dave the moron banned the isp's of numerous folks (he hates being exposed for being a liar! trust me...heheheheh!), we can't see the links that ekie posted.
no biggee, i've seen ekie's work...first class all the way. |
|
Ekie,
How did you put together your M4? I love the way it looks, and I want to put together one. I'm new to rifle, can you help me? First, can you tell me in plain English what upper, lower, etc.. I should get? Thank you so much! |

That is a big question and I could write a book on the subject. Have written the equivalent of a book on AKs and AR-10s in my posts, but not the AR-15, too many other guys write that stuff. Don't have time for it today, I bet some one here would be more then happy to help you out though. M4Madness: Nice M4gery, about the same set up as mine, what upper and lower you got there? |

The barrel is 14.5" with the Phantom welded on so it is just over 16". You can get the case from Tantal, his web site is:
