OK, im new at this so please bear with: I took an older bushmaster M4 "type" barrel and mated it up with a flattop I got from M&A. I wasnt sure what M4 cuts were and assumed I should get them as the barrel I was using was an M4. Uh Oh...hats Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? Preferably a cheap one; Id rather not buy a whole new upper reciever. Sincerely hinking.gif |

Personally, I wouldn't dick with the dremel. Strip the upper off, put it in your parts bin, get a new one without the cuts. I have the cuts on my Middy, but it's more of a "flavor of the week" deal. I would rather not have the cuts than potentially hinder reliability by doing a home job... Just my opinion. Gundraw |
It doesn't have to match up very well. Shucks! The factory COLT feedramps often come a little cock eyed. But the still run like champs! |

Yes, but is it OK to dremel the Barrel extension??? The upper is allready cut. Id be more apt to cut ramps into the reciever ( a lot of people do ) than on the barrel... Im told that its fine to have an M4 cut barrel but NOT a M4 cut reciever on a non M4 cut barrel. |
Exactly, and if you sell that upper on EE right now while is virtually new to make up some of the cost, you are looking at closer to $30... Gundraw |
