Cheers, 50mm x 1mm Carbon sleeve over a Titanium tube

Hi Thanks for that ,
the C/F tube is really just dress up then.
Looks cool as Mate

Yeah mainly cosmetic. Some 3mm Carbon tube would cope fine with subs for a good while but the heat and flame cutting of supers would kill it. CF also breaks down in UV over time so not a fan of carbon suppressors personally.

That S&B is pretty sweet @Wingman
What model and ret is it?

Just an observation, I see you and some others are using the super low Talleys/Nikko one piece rings amd removing your cheek rest to get low enough for a good sight picture,
You can spin the cheek rest mounting clamp upside down which allows the carbon cheek rest to drop right onto the tube to give a wider more comfy cheek weld without any additional hight.

Thanks @Wingman yeah the bipod is an awesome match. Works well. Yeah the check rest and low rings work great for the kids but I struggle to get low enough with my glasses on. I just whipped it off for this mission but I'll look at doing what you mention. Cheers!
