    Since when have guns not been a piece of art that was functional? Is this any different then your high end engraved Colts from the 19th century? Presentation pieces? How about the fancy wood grips, or grips made out of exotic materials on many a 1911. I shoot trap and my trap gun has some chicken scratch on it, my father's Franchi AL48 Hunter's model has an entire scene engraved on one side. I don't see these tubes as being any different. I don't see myself ever running one, but some it may be the thing that they want for one reason or the other. I have a BCM build which has all OD green furniture on it, does that fact make it a lesser rifle because I am running full on OD green everything I can? Obviously there is a market for the things, people like to be different and have something that is original, its human nature. Besides, if the rifle is getting the attention of those who want to dress one up at a presentation piece I would say that is a good thing for the AR market, at least looking at history and the presentation pieces that we see today in museums.

    Not for me but I figure that if it doesn't hurt reliability and accuracy, it's no big deal. Fashizzle........ Now about them 20 inch spinners on a Dodge Neon.......

    I know guys whose sisters, wives and/or GFs ask for the pink stuff. On the functional side of things, the pink magpul stuff works the same way their tacticool colored stuff works so saying it's like the pink stuff isnt entirely accurate. As ugly perhaps but not an apples to apples comparison in terms of function and reliability.
    That said, I dont know exactly how this thing attaches but it appears to have a doube-threaded barrel nut and mounting collar combo.

    Yeah, that hex actually doesn't look too bad - and it is quite efficient because hexagons use the least material to tile a plane. (A rail with hex holes can be made lighter than a rail with round holes). I just went with a carbon fiber rail because I don't get the key mod craze.

    Just because you're necessary doesn't mean you're important.

    This. There's no accounting for taste and whatnot.

    AR have officially turned the corner on the tactical market, and have now become fashion statements. It's been an incremental creep in that direction over the past few years. AR owners buy them with crappy logos, paint them, accessorize them, show them off, put goofy shit on them all the time. It was only a matter of time before someone started to really bling them out commercially. This is merely an extension of that. Same with pistols. Stay tuned for more ghey shit to hit the firearms market.
