I finally got my 6933. Looks Great.

Does Colt stake or use lock tite on their buffer tubes? I want to change out the Colt 4 position to a Spikes Graduated 6 position tube.

Here are a few pictures.

Staked. All of the Colt line-up is. Does the 4-pos lack a spot that you want? Not sure about the loctite, may be on there two but I don't think it is.



EDIT: You can clearly see the staking in your second to last pic.

Is your RAS seated correctly?

That is definitely not installed correctly. The
Little tab is on top of the barrel nut, common issue on M4's I've seen NIB.

P.S. i got my 6921 a few months back with pretty much the same set up, love it!!

I was looking at that also. I will take another shot at putting that top piece on.

I got the RAS fixed. I took it all apart, put the top rail on and I still could not get it to seat around the barrel nut. I made sure the locking arm was not on top but slightly forward of the barrel nut. I took a piece of 5/4" x 5/4" pine and placed it on top of the rear rail and gave it a slight tap with a dead blow hammer and it dropped right into place. Put the screw in, torqued it and put the bottom rail on. Looks good now. I will post pictures when I am able to get back into image shack. For some reason I can't get to my images.

I wouldn't recommend replacing any of the factory Colt parts with Spikes junk.

Colt 6933 is staked and no loctite.  Keep the Colt part not need to change it out

Loctite is done by hack shops and is not the standard.  Colt is properly staked...the Colt way.
