I don't know about that, but it is certainly a waste of a good gas tube!!
Hey MECH1...was there any other damage (visible or otherwise) to the rifle besides the gas tube? How bad are the handguards? Any barrel damage?

Re: 3 beta mag and a M16
Sorry about the photo my buddy sent it to me that way. The hand guards were Surefire and the were a little brownish. I guess he let it cool and shot a couple more with the tube that way and it worked. But no I don't believe any other damage occurred.

Well I guess it is all good since he obviously has the coin to waste and it is his rifle. Even if I owned a CIII weapon I would use it more intelligently instead of just burning up the rounds to see what happens.

Re: 3 beta mag and a M16
I'm surprised that it only lasted 300 rounds until it suffered that level of deformation.
I've had a gas tube so hot that it was glowing before.
About 250-300 rounds quickly, not really sure.
No deformation however, but it took on a nice colorful patina.
I wonder if there are substandard gas tubes floating around out there.
It wouldn't surprise me if there were.
Thanks for sharing.

Re: 3 beta mag and a M16
Yea, I don't see the point of having class 3 if your not going to run the hell out of it. I have wasted at least 4 or 5 barrels in my stuff its fun that's all it is. I at least ruin a suppressor or two a year get the rebuilt and go on.

Re: 3 beta mag and a M16
With the cost of obtaining an M-16 the $400 bucks for a barrel and gas tube is a drop in the bucket. Run that bitch into the ground!

Re: 3 beta mag and a M16
+1
They keep making more barrels/gun parts.
Someone has to use them.
Barrels are a consumable anyway.
When my tires get worn and need to be replaced, I'll usually abuse them beforehand.

Re: 3 beta mag and a M16
Put about 1100 rounds through my M-4 in about 30 minutes with a few pauses. Result: Nylon sling melted off the front sling attachment point and renewed convition I dont like 3-rnd burst... Weapon kept on trucking though.
