View Full Version : M-4 stlye carbines with Phantoms
Hello,
Can anyone post some pictures of their M-4 style carbines with the 14.5" barrel and Phantom flash hider combination? I'm thinking about getting one, but I'd like to see what it all looks like together, I'm sitting wavering between shelling out the extra dough for a KAC QD comp, using the Phantom, with the closed end, and maybe a Gemtech Bi Lock. One way or another, it has to be permanently attached to make it the legal 16" so I'd like to make reasonably sure that I'd be happy with my final decision.
Thanks,
~Augee
Here's one...

My favorite AR, at least 3 shades of green, some tan and black in the mix, and oh yeah a Phantom on the end of a 14.5".

FWIW I am very pissed that I didn't weld on a silencer mount instead of the Phantom. My best advice when dealing with AR's is to look way further down the road than you normally would. Pick a QD Silencer that you like (that has a mount that would bring the gun to 16.1"), and spend the extra dough to buy the mount and weld it on. While you can remove a regular FH later if you would like, it is a royal PITA to deal with. I believe that Gemtech, KAC, and maybe the OPS brake would bring the barrel to 16.1". If your heart is set on the Phantom, YHM is making the AAC mounts using their FH tech.
Just my $.02

Alright, I hate to be the one to have to say this, but BACK ON TRACK PEOPLE!!
I believe the OP wants to see a 14.5" barrel with M203 cuts, a FSB, and probably standard handguards with the Phantom- preferrably closed port bottom. I think the 9", 12", etc. rails are nice but aren't helping him.

An old upper I built and refinished. Should have kept it:

OMG Stick is actually posting here again. I think we need a Stickman picture thread tacked. I believe he has almost every combination you can think of.
Here's my meager contribution. LMT upper I bought from Paul a couple years ago....

I wasn't even aware I had left..... :D This is a Phantom, though the end is only partially visible.

This is probably the last of them....

Thanks!
Great rifles, I think I'll probably end up getting a 5C2, closed bottom port, with a crowned end. My original desire to get an issue style with an A-2 flash hider having been foiled by the ATF (nevermind the Army still thinks I can have one...), I may as well just get the crowned version, the regular one, with the closed end just kind of looks "off" to me, since it's clearly not issue, but it is kind of reminiscent. Might also look into 14.7" barrels, but I haven't seen a lot of those offered.
Thanks again,
~Augee

I don't have pictures yet, but I recently added one to my 14.5 barrel.
I still haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.
What are the opinions of this piece of kit?
