This looks so wrong, but feels so good. The front of the pic rail is bolted through the front FSB set screw hole, two hose clamps on the ends, electrical tape covering them. I was really just testing proof of concept before I started drilling holes in this thing, but I'm not mad at the result.

I don't think I'm clone enough to play in the A4 thread, so I'm posting this here. Still waiting on an M5 RAS that was supposed to be here Friday. USPS stopped updating the tracking info and now it just says arriving late. Fuckers
 Also have a bayonet on the way, and already have a TA31RCO. Trying to decide how it would look with a gangster grip. I like this rifle way more than I thought it would, there's something super badass about the 20" barrel and fixed stock. It feels so solid.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SDMF_Rebel: Is that my handy work under that handguard collar? Sure is! The original collar is awesome work, but it was married to this upper since there was one gas tube hole. Now there is a little more freedom. It'll stay on this upper, but it bugged me that the option wasn't there. |

Don't go ruinin' stuff that don't need ruinin'. I just need the collar forward a little bit. I still have flash hider mounts that have tons of thread, so I'm more than good on turns even if the collar comes forward. Ron is so far behind I don't even want to pest him. |

Is there good fitment on the barrel without the help of the step to butt up against? You could lightly dimple the barrel for the set screw to move it up. |

It's an even better idea if I add another set screw and go up a size. The flash hider mounts have a lot more thread than the brakes, which makes goofy shit like this work. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Soberglitch: Is there anything MRE or similar that works with a mid length fsb? Not to condone hacking up some expensive KAC stuff, but the MRE did start off as cutting up FF RAS rails, could do the same and notch out a rifle length FF RAS to give you the FSP cut out. |

I’ll keep an eye out but I’ll just run with my Troy 2 piece for now. Might even slap the M4 handguards back on there. It’s my least shot rifle I own by far so I’ll just keep dumping money into my OGS clone.
