They're great rails for the money. And I'm a huge fan of FSP cutout rails.

I have one of their Gen 2 SS series rails on a pistol build, I agree with your sentiment. I didn't know they made an FSP rail, I'm going to have to give them a look .

I just sent a follow-up to check on the eta for these. To my surprise, I had an unread email from Corrie in my box. After my inquiry, Monty is now looking at reducing the size of the FSB pocket for a more aesthetically pleasing look (the previous version had about an inch of dead space to the front of the FSB). In my opinion, this would be an great improvement and I will be first in line for purchase. I'll let you know what they say as far as dates go.

From their response, it sounded like it was just a flaw in the design...

OK...well, I talked to Monty and he's going to look at the feasibility of reducing the pocket length in front of the FSP, as he agrees, from a cosmetic perspective, he's always thought it would look better.  We shall see...requires a programming change.

I'll let you know if I get an eta.

I wonder if that extra space was there for clearance for a IR laser. If there is a list or something or if I need to pay a deposit let me know.

Update: this special run of C4s should be ready within 8 weeks due to the milling being done by a third party. Also learned that the run started before the change to the FSB pocket. These will be true to the original version.

Quick tech tip...

Before you remove your FSB from the barrel.... remove all camo spray paint from the barrel.... cause the clearance is tight....

This is correct. Although at least at the time I purchased it they were only selling FSP cutouts on complete uppers.  If you reach out to then they can give you an azimuth check as to what they have available.

Nice. I guess these have a rather large cutout pocket, as well. Did the Flaming Pig fit inside the rail with adequate clearance?

That is a BCM C8 SFW upper, which uses a heavy barrel profile under the hand guards (looks thicker than SOCOM). So it's a bit of a front heavy pig. But that's not the rails fault. 

The plus side side is it's a really good shooter. Compared to my other rifles though it would be the one I least wanted to carry all day.

Just finished swapping out

here is the gun before


2 piece MI rail with a G2 with 120 lumen LED head/Z49 tail switch and VLTOR mount.
rails covers are KAC's that I stippled. Served me well for many years... good accuracy with ball ammo.


Now


MI Gen 3 carbine rail.. 200Lumen scout with Gear sector rail mount and Magpul Gen 2 MLOK rail covers and BCM VFG.  
Much lighter and I like the thinner diameter rail.



close up of rail..



Now I have to paint it.

I'm going to do a FSB build on a 14.5" Faxon Pencil Barrel with a 15" 2A Armament rail that is going to need to milling done for both the FSB as well as the muzzle device since it will sit inside the rail too far and be an issue.

Here's what I have assembled so far. Just need a trigger, the actual rail and a mount for my Vortex Viper PST II 1-4 that is on the way. Probably going to end up with an ALG QMS since I don't really feel that spending money on triggers is worth it (for me anyway). Although that new Geissele trigger has me curious. I'll have to talk to my buddy over there to see if I can play with one to determine if I want to drop the cash on it or not.

This has become my favorite carbine. Started out as a bit of a junk build when I bought a heavily painted upper sight unseen...ended up with a Colt receiver and a KMR (not Alpha) BCM 9 inch rail. Barrel ended up being beat to crap so I had a Spikes Enhanced lightweight middy that i was saving for a rainy day. Bead blasted the rail, refinished it with Norrells grayish flat black and put it all together. Finished it all off with a La Rue trigger and the sights. Few thousand rounds later and it is just one of those carbines that gives you confidence it will do what you ask.
