 A4 came out today, shot at some tree stumps that were talking shit. Its so dang smooth... Also.... last night i ended up needing a pistol mounted light because some raccoons were fucking around, so i helped them find out..  I totally could have taken the 6v adapter out of the 660 and made it a 3v and it'd actually be somewhat practical size wise, but the p60 lamp is too dim at 3v |

I finally ordered an M4 RAS, it will be going on a 14.5 inch BCM I’ve had for years, to make a “close enough” M4 clone. While rifle is spray painted already, so I’ll be spraying the RAS as well.
Sometime soon, I may be picking up an Aimpoint for it. I’m trying to decide if the PRO is close enough or if I want to spend extra for the Comp M4. It obviously won’t be an exact clone, but I’d like it to be a reasonable facsimile with major GWOT vibes. Edit: Also, I’m assuming the KAC VFG is the way to go? I really like the Tango Down stubby, but I mostly see those on MK18s, not really on the big Army M4s. |

Gwot bros of ingenuity, any of you guys worked with an old armalite fiberglass FF tube?
Specifically, I’m kicking around the idea of doing an FSB build with one. How easy is the material to cut without screwing it up? What would be the best way to attach pic rail pieces. I’d have to source an old Armalite rifle to get the toob, so I’m trying to determine if this is even feasible. Sort of like this, but different:  The only guy I recall doing one of these was @TNVC_Augee but I bet someone in here has done this. |

I've had the whole set  The carbine chop is gonna get a freshening up once the Gordy M4 can clears. ETA: it's not difficult to cut through with lubrication.

That didn’t take long! Those look great! Ok, so lubricant. Explain like I’m an idiot. What are you using for lubricant? Is this something I could do with basic tools? On the FSB I assume you have to drill holes to install the taper pins? The plan would be to use a 12.X barrel and recess an AEM5. Is it roughly the same ID as a PRI tube? You think I’d have enough clearance for the can and a backer for a piece of pic rail at 0130? Thanks, dude. |

I didn't personally do the FSB but got all of the info on how it was done. Two holes drilled on bottom for set screws, but you could accomplish thee same thing with holes drilled through for taper pins (that's how Augee did it). I just used UCWRG Unicorn Lube because it was already out. I would assume any oil would do it. I used a kerf saw (again, first thing I found once I got the itch to finally do it) but I'd imagine a simple hack saw would have been easier. I measured and taped where I wanted the cut then used a hose clamp as a guide. You won't be able to tuck AEM5 with the end cap installed. There's too much metal where they reinforced the sling stud. You'd have to shave that down or cut off end cap entirely. PRI tubes are 2" OD, and Armalite fiberglass tube is 2.25" OD. I've never measured interior clearance but I'd wager a bet that you'd have zero issue with clearing a thin backer. Rail sections are probably going to be the biggest hurdle, as the ones meant for tubes are for 2" OD, so the radius will be too deep by just enough for it to be annoying. |

Very helpful and seems doable. I didn’t realize it had an endcap. You think removing it would turn the tube into a linguini noodle/MK16 or should it be reasonably structural sound? No bipod would be on it, so it wouldn’t really be cranked on. |

It's plenty solid to run without it |

The original method to put the fiberglass tubes on 5.56 guns was with a modified SR-25 tube, which doesn't have an end cap at all. It just ends in a rounded contour, so if you wanted to leave it off and round it on a grinder, it would be plenty strong and look the part for a wider/earlier timeframe. Also, the end caps on the Armalite tubes are not very easy to remove in my experience. They aren't just secured by the bipod stud, they're glued and pressed in. The SR-25 tubes just have a hole drilled for the bipod stud and which is secured by a small nut.

I've had two SR25 tubes, the barrel nut just has holes closer to the exterior to line up with the gas tube height difference. Other than that they're identical to the small frame versions (including end cap). If not for the barrel nut holes and corresponding index pin on the tube itself, they would be 1:1 interchangeable. I do agree that they're plenty strong enough without the end cap. |

In that case, I'm not sure if they used the variant I own, as it would be quite the hassle to modify to fit the small frame barrel nut. The threads at the base of the tube are the same though. |

The M was for my mini 14 I had it on for a while. The 20" A2 is like a good pair of boots. It just fits perfectly. I was an 0311 and currently a nurse. |
