| Hi guys. Wondering about the general opinion of the hogue float tubes. I know you get what ya pay for, but are they suitable for a rifle that will be mainly used on the bench vs. out crashing through the jungle?? Let me know what ya think. thanks. dcl |
The Hogue tubes are well made with heavy semigloss anodizing and the signature Hogue stippled rubber sleeve over the center section of the tube. Machine work is superb and the separate barrel nut fits the upper receiver nicely and you can use a conventional barrel nut wrench to tighten it. Their pistol grips are by far my favorite. They feel really nice. Here's a pic of one of my AR's with Hogue Grip and tube.

Dave: The rifle in the picture has a 20" Olympic Arms SUM barrel chambered in .17 Rem. I chopped-down the stock front sight post and had it nickel plated to match the polished barrel just for fun and to add a bit of bling. The muzzle has an 11 degree target crown and obviously no threads. |
Once you get the tube tightened firmly against the barrel nut, then locate and drill a hole for the sling swivel stud on the bottom side. Uncle Mikes and others make such a stud that attaches on the inside with a nut. |
