If my idea is stupid, please let me know.
If I took a 12.5 inch tube of CF with an internal diameter of 1.875 inches, could I thread it directly onto one of those ubiquitous aluminium threaded barrel nuts and drill just the tube for a set screw?
Yes, I understand that some people get the DPMS/Clark tube and drill and tap both the tube and nut rather than use glue, but I do not believe I possess drill and tap levels of skill.
Yes, I understand that AP Customs makes a slip on product with screws. I own one, but was looking for a cheap DIY.
Yes, I understand that some aluminium tubes are very light, but I think CF has lower thermal density.
If my notion just shows that I don't know how these things work, I don't mind hearing that. Thanks in advance.
