AR44 Beef Tube Axle

[dpcardoza]

I know the beef tubes come pre-installed but can it be removed and reinstalled if damage to the axle occurs? I like how the plastic slides over rocks much better than aluminum or other metal but the price seems steep if if you crack a link mount or something.

This is a very good question. I'm guessing since Beeftubes does the mod to the axle already when you buy them, taking out and re-installing them shouldn't be an issue as long as they don't use some sort of adhesive when doing the mod.

I wish Beeftubes sold the correct size tubes for the ar44 separately, I'd figure out what the dimensions are and give it a go my self. I honestly think the main thing having to do with the mod is the link mounts.

I can confirm the Tubes do slide out once hardware has been removed. I had to pull out one side of a wide xr mod ar44 housing to fit a brass ring around the tube to get a Wraith Panhard mount on there. Simple enough.

I'm pretty sure (may be wrong) that they machine/drill the centers out to make room for the beef if that's the case then you would have to have the new housing drilled out....

you are correct, they are machined out to accept the beef tube.
