| None that I know of but Hogue makes an overmolded tube you can see here |

Looks goofy but will cover it. I've used it for a make shift "sled" at a BR match. Worked. What are you trying to achieve? 458 |

My first time posting here and I didn't know where to post a pic of my AR, but you might like to see what I made for my tube.
I just picked up my Bushmaster Vmatch and while I'm waiting for my Burris PEPR mount to get here I though I would camo my AR. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r212/tworr/Misc2/Bushmaster%20Vmatch/IMG_1691_cr.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r212/tworr/Misc2/Bushmaster%20Vmatch/IMG_1688.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r212/tworr/Misc2/Bushmaster%20Vmatch/IMG_1688b.jpg The material is Cordura 500 in MO Brush. I had some small scraps left over from making a jacket and thought I would use them as upholstery for my AR's furniture. |

I've had a gun chap on my Winchester Model 70 for 20 years that was made by Kane.
I gave up on being able to find anything for the AR and just made my own as you see above. I was going to rattle can it, but decided it would be better if I at least tried making the chaps first. Neoprene would probably have been easier to fit because of how it stretches and exact fitting would not have been as much of an issue. I haven't really seen any camo versions that I like in neoprene. If you have someone that can make it for you the materials were pretty cheap. Find the material and camo pattern you want to use and buy a $2 separating zipper. My cordura 500 was around $10 a yard. So for $54 I made a hunting jacket, poncho and a gun chap. http://www.rockywoods.com/Fabrics-Hardware-Patterns-Kits/Camo-Camouflage-Fabrics;jsessionid=0a0109491f4322b1c5adb3dc4dd59555eb18df5b5eec.e3eSc38LcheTe34Pa38Ta38Nchb0 I hope that at least helps you in some way. |
