Folks, I've attempted to jumpstart our mainstream revival in AR Discusions. It's a "Build" pic and discussion thread open to both cutout and non-cutout forends. Only rules, build must be an AR variant, have an FSB, and a free float forend. Thought this might give it a better chance. Hopefully it sticks this time. See you there. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_118/712263_Official-Free-Float-FSB-Builds-Revival--Picture-Discussion-Thread-.html |

You're doing the lord's work Sir. The new thread is doing well. Some nice builds being posted. A few shit talkers, but we have a Mod in there now keeping people focused on pics and specs.

Geissele MK8 13 modified into a carbine FSP rail. You can do this to a MK8 9.5 (carbine), MK4 9.5 (carbine), MK4 13 (carbine), MK8 15 (carbine, midlength and rifle) and MK4 15 (carbine, midlength and rifle). To use taper pins you must use the set screw anti-rotation tabs version.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
To access the taper pins, the rail must rotate about 6 degrees to the side. AFAIK, all Geissele rails are going to traditional anti-rotation tabs just below the top rail. You won't be able to rotate the rail hardly any with those anti-rotation tabs. The set screw anti-rotation tabs allow rotation with the set screws backed out (even more if you remove 1/16" from each side on the inside). If you use two set screws on the bottom of the FSB, it won't matter which style you use. You may be able to use a clamp on FSB, I don't know. |

Hello everyone. Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but it looked as good as any.
I'm wanting to put a rail on my upper with FSB that extends to the break. I would prefer key mod or Mlok ( don't care for quad rails anymore). But having a hard time finding one. Anyone have any recommendations? As bad as I hate to say it, looks like the UTG would be ideal..... But its UTG. Any thoughts or links would be appreciated. |

Which rail is this? Also, why so few slots after the FSB? Not sure what you could even mount other than an offset light on there. It almost looks as if that rail is intended for a piston gun and the cutout is to adjust the piston, then the front two pic slots are for your iron. But I am just guessing, I didn't have a say in its design. Still, I like it. Not your typical rail, and it clamps directly on a standard barrel nut. PIC THREAD You can see the underside a little better in this pic. My guess is it is cutout to allow you to mount a bayonet.  Attached File |

Thanks man. Yea I had one of the MI Gen 2 pocket rails in FDE and was not impressed. Lots of sharp, jagged edges, burs and such, and the coating was suspect. Not to mention that when I removed all of the bolts holding the bottom together, two of the thread inserts broke pieces off and fell out. It was enough for me to sell it and commit to only buying the DD/Centurion and other quality folks. I was disappointed because I had heard MI had such good quality and was a real value for the price point.
Your rifle looks great btw. I think you could get the right offset light mount on the front two rail sections. |
