Does this float tube make my upper look fat?
 
In an attempt to come up with something removable that I could hide an adj gas block and what ever "muzzle
accessory" under ... I dug out some old CF tube and machined it to fit in place of the original aluminum. Still needs cut to length but I was wondering about it looking chubby?http://usera.ImageCave.com/Spook/lookfat.jpg

Spook, You know only single guys will give you an honest answer on this one. I like how it looks :smile:

Is it for shooting or for hanging on the wall of your den? If it's for shooting, it's what the target looks like that matters. I wouldn't care if a 300 Whisper looks like Rosie O'Donnell if it shoots sub moa at 500 yards. It's a novel idea making a full length reflex suppressor out of carbon fiber. That's what it looks like. It will look better when it's sanded smooth.

I have straight cylinder carbon fiber handguards on several of my AR's though none that long. They're very comfortable to hold, very light weight, and ride on sandbags well for precision shooting. I dislike aluminum handguards , particularly ones with Picatinny rails for all the opposite reasons. They look fat to me.

Turn it into an expansion chamber, and you have what these guys call the "ARIES" system. BTW, never buy anything from them.

Well Mr. Spook, if it does not work you can always sell it to a porn movie "director" lol:eek:

Nothing wrong with a chubby fore end, I think once trimmed to length it is going to look very nice.

CF handguard
 
I have the same handguard on mine, but its sanded so it doesn't look so shiny. Its 16" with aac scar-h

No spook it looks just fine! actually it very slimming.................Ya I know it never is the correct answer for my wife either. Do the CF handgaurds transfere heat? I have trouble with the aluminium ones making my hands to cold in winter?

It's true that black is slimming. If you go FDE, it will look overweight!

cf handguard
 
Carbon fiber handguards will not heat up like aluminum ones and are light and strong. Not to mention slimming!
