I really like that setup. I think I may move my ACOG back to a block 1 and throw my Mark 4/ Larue back on my block 2.

It's a really well balanced set up, the variable optic gives it tons of versatility, despite being on the heavy side.

I think you can find them for around $300 well used. Not sure what a new in box would bring? They had several for sale online a while back but haven't seen anything recently. Check the usual classified sites and EE. Many of the folks selling stuff on non AR sites have no idea how rare some of the items are. I got a cool find on a Glock website recently.

If you're going for clone correctness then SF3P, if you're planning on running a can, the SFMB will improve the life of the can. |

Need some help from anyone who has installed a tango down foregrip on your DD rail.
Is it true that you have to remove the lower section of the rail to install the grip? That a part of the rail gets in the way of just sliding it on? Thanks |

There's a solid ring around the front and the rail that causes clearance issues. |

You guys are honestly advocating hammering on a grip (or otherwise "brute forcing" it) over removing 4 simple screws? In my experience, I found that I can get the TD VFG on the rail without removing it (or using a hammer), but taking it off the rail requires removing the bottom rail. |
