Is there any filler that I can use to fill the dip in the barrel? If so, how do I it. And what are some other options, I really don't want to buy a new barrel.

whats wrong with the dip in the barrel? Isn't it for mounting m203 launchers?

The "dip" is a cut out for mounting a grenade launcher.

If you have one ('nade launcher

), GREAT!!!

If not, just shoot the rifle!

It's supposed to be there. It's not really a big deal either way but there isn't a way to "fix" it. I'f you didn't want an M4 profile you shouldn't have gotten one.

The only way you can fill the cut out is to place a M203 under the barrel. Anything else will make that rifle unshootable.

It's tuning out to be a hell of a night.

If you didn't like the M4 profile, why did you buy it? It doesn't affect anything, just there to mount your registered DD or 39mm 'nade launcher. <shrug>

BTW: If you W.E.C.S.O.G it or Mujahideen engineer it, it will look like shit!

BTW#2: It ain't broke, don't fix it!

Try 2 part epoxy, fast set so you can paint it quicker.

Section up a bicycle inner tube and wrap a couple of ranger bands around it, filling it up. Next thing you know, you'll be in GD calling the shots.

I'll trade you my colt pencil thin upper 16 inch, for your upper

i'm in houston

Hehe.. I'd trady my bushy 16" preban HBAR for that.

Posted: 4/21/2006 10:35:35 PM EDT

[#22]

I don't put my 203 on it b/c I don't have any ammo for it, the only thing it would be good for the filping coins.

Since someone already suggested filling it with lead....

I think a few companies make flashlight / laser mounts that will fit there.

If you dimensioned it and turned a part to match what is not there, and cut that in half [or make 2 and mill both in half for halves], you could attach it with a pipe clamp and tack it, then remove the clamp, weld the seams and turn them flush.

That would be probably the first time anyone has ever done that.

My opinion- when someone has never done something sometimes it's cool to say you did.

Not my idea or something I want to do but I do crazy shit from time to time so I can't really sling mud.

Not a bad deal if you REALLY have to "fix" it...

My carry handle has a hole in it big enough to put my hand in! Any ideas on how I can plug it?

Or maybe some good ole' fashioned Barrel Spackle.

Spend $200 on an ATF 5320.1,,,,, and cut the forward front fat section off, thread some of that skinny part to accept a flash hider or suppressor and enjoy it.

"The only way you can fill the cut out is to place a M203 under the barrel. Anything else will make that rifle unshootable."

Not true. I had a barrel with a custom suppressor mount welded forward of the front sight base and it was very shootable. 1/3 MOA shootable.

I guess the key is it is probably not neccessary but is a Lincoln Navigator neccessary? A rolex watch? cosmetic gold front teeth?

I guess the point is this guy wants it so he can decide if it is worth working on. It's still supposed to be a relatively free country.
