You can get M4 type chrome lined DPMS barrels from CMMG, they are the only ones that have them, DPMS makes them especially for CMMG, both pre-ban and post-ban. www.cmmginc.com/inventory_a/Barrels_tbl.html Their rifles are great. I haven't messed with their .22 and the tuber looks kind of fake to me, like its trying to be a suppressed gun but just for pretend, like a little kid playing with an airsoft or something. But there's no accounting for taste. Personally I like the DPMS lightweight carbine, less than 6 pounds with no cheap tricks like plastic uppers or lowers like on a Carbon15. |
Hey, at least there's absolutely no chance of burning your hand on a hot barrel. |
OTOH, it's aluminum which an excellent conductor of heat so all you're really doing is delaying the time it'll take for the heat to reach your hand. The problem with most regular float tubes is the lack of ventilation, and making the tube longer reduces the air flow even more. I replaced my DPMS vented tubes with FIRSH tubes from Oly not so much for the rails but for the larger vent holes. |
I own a DPMS CAR HBAR 16 and it it a GREAT rifle. I can shoot a ten round pattern the size of a half dollar at fifty yards consistantly. I would recommended one , highly!!! |
