In that last video, what light, stock, and vertical grip is the guy have on his rifle from the 3:00 mark on? The stock looks like a Magpul SL or SL-K.
Also, is the guy at 0:30 using a Surefire X300? What light is that? |

Ok so finally got my Ergo Ext and installed. It has a smaller diameter than the RAS and lines up perfect until you torque the six bolts then it pulls the ext in a downward direction giving it that droop look. It's solid as fuck and has zero play and although the droop is noticeable the rail never touches the barrel. Intstalled on this 2018 Socom Factory upper (all cage coded). If I can figure out a washer or shim setup we can level this bitch out but as stated it's not moving nor touching the barrel...............
     It's a Keeper though..............Don't touch my Colt Socom upper'd KAC MRE though    |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tigwelder1971: Yeah, that downward cant killed it for me. When I had one, I even tried filing parts of it down to no luck. Gave it away. Allot of the guys in my unit ran them, and some even mounted their peq16s on them. I did not trust them for that. However, they are nice for getting an extended grip and our command didn't care about us adding them. |

Then you'd have those Safety Sallys that would think you've got a mag in and try to rip you apart.  Last trip I also had a M9, so I could drop the M4 when walking around the FOB and didn't really need it, though I still left it on. |
