Tavor X95 is the platform, the forend and carry handle system is already in development, and the physical prototype is sitting here on my desk as we speak! Sven Manticore Arms |

These shirts will be dropping on the webstore right before the Ripley Rails are available. I assume the membership of AR15.com will appreciate it.  Sven Manticore Arms

It sounds like the mounts will available with or without a light. The light mount will come with the light as the light we picked has a pressure switch that fits through the M-LOK slots and two specific threaded holes we use to connect the M-LOK mount bracket to the light. It is an M600 Scout clone, and other similar lights might work, but we can't guarantee it. i went through about 30 lights to find the right one that would fit the M-LOK rails correctly. The nice thing is it will mount internally to ANY M-LOK forend as long as there is space for the light inside. So not only will it work with the Ripley Rail, it will work with the upcoming X95 rail and anything else we make using our extrusion with M-LOK slots machined into it. I don't have any pictures right now, but will get some pics and details once we get the webstore listing done. Sven Manticore Arms Sven Manticore Arms |

We will be offering a new version, the Ripley CQB, in the next 60 days or so. Designed for 7.5” rifle caliber and 8” pistol caliber barrels, for a more compact setup. Sven Manticore Arms

@cap6888 We are using a Surefire clone that we have tested thoroughly for the light. It will include the light, pressure switch, and the original picatinny mount and clicky tailcap too. I was not happy with the quality of the hook and loop tape they supplied to us with the lights, so we will be upgrading that to an industrial grade hook and loop and also including two alcohol wipe pads to ensure excellent mounting to the foregrip (or wherever else you want to mount it). We will also be including our custom machined light mount and hardware (the part I am holding in the pic is a 3D printed prototype of the light mount bracket just so you can see what it looks like)- it will not only work with our Ripley Rail forend, but actually will allow internal mounting of a light on any M-LOK equipped product that is large enough to accept the light internally. Due to some shipping restrictions no batteries will be included, but it uses a pair of CR-123 batteries that are installed by unscrewing the head of the light, which works perfectly for battery swaps when the light is mounted. Let me know if I can answer any questions! Sven Manticore Arms   |

If you run it through the correct M-LOK slot in the forend (one slot farther back than you see in that pic IIRC), there is no excess once the pad is taped in place on the pump grip. Or you can use zip ties or some of the many M-LOK mount cable management bits you find on Amazon, at Magpul, etc. Sven Manticore Arms |

Got some nice new PVC patches made up- the text is raise above the surface slightly, and hook and loop on the back. Really happy with how these turned out. Sven Manticore Arms  |

I'm in standby mode at the moment. @Scrapple We know the adapters fit the light we have chosen, but we cannot guarantee it will fit any other light, so we are hesitant to offer it on its own- we don't want to eat a ton of returns on it from people trying to use lights it doesn't fit. I am sure you can understand! Sven Manticore Arms |

I am sure you can understand! Sven Manticore Arms @Manticore_Arms I'm using the Magpul MLOK pressure pad mount for surefire lights, works great. I'll post a picture this evening. As far as the light mount, I totally understand, but that doesn't really matter to me, I won't be returning it, I would just modify it if needed. But please let me know if I can just purchase one please! No risk of returns from me. Thanks! |

Got Picatinny Carry Handle Mounts on the webstore now. We may add a dropdown in the Ripley Rail product pages so you can add one in as a one-stop-shop when under the time pressure to get your Ripley Rail order in on the next batch drop. Sven Manticore Arms
