Re: Go to upper assembler?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: hyena74</div><div class="ubbcode-body">guess i should add a little more detail to what ive got and want to turn it into.
have:
vltor mur upper
daniel defense 16" chrome lined hammer forged m4 profile barrel
low profile daniel defense gas block
troy rear battle sight
bcm mod 3 gunfighter charging handle
need:
bcm bolt carrier group (god help me)
carbine length spikes melonmite gas tube
battlecomp 1.5 brake (or 1.0 depending)
troy front battle sight
im really wanting to have the barrel cut down to 14.5 inches and have the brake pinned and welded.
since the barrel is chrome lined, im not 100% sure it can be cut down. if not, i will just have to keep it 16" long.
also, after researching and reading smoe reviews on daniel defenses barrels, it seems they made the gas port hole to small and most are having trouble short cycling. they were saying the hole needs to be opened up to a 1/16" to work properly...so im guessing i will need to have this dont also.
anyway, this is where im at as of now. it will probably take me another month or so to get the rest of the parts rounded up. </div></div>
i know it's your build, but I'd save a few $'s and get a BCM/RRA etc gas tube, I have a gun that's been through 3 Carbine classes (1,000rds each) and stick with a 16". You wouldn't believe the people I get that want to switch handguards/tubes/rails, or want a different fh/Brake. I would definitely check out Precision Armament's .556 Brake. Much better for muzzle flip, and the guys are a Dream to work with. They have the best fh/Brake alignment kit's I've ever used, and they will make you happy. Not a HUGE Co. but one of the best. Small Co. but a ton of Science goes into their Brakes, and I as well as some good Tactical shooters can attest. I saw a write up in a local magazine, and after my M11 purchase, I tried the M472 on a .556 and now most my M4's that get shot wear one. they also have some amazing 700 scope rails, and bolt knobs as well.
BTW read about "filthy 14" a BCM gun with standard gas tube with over 35k rds down the pipe.
