Mines been 100% from day one. I put a MI rail on it with a red dot.

I'm testing mine out tomorrow. I'll put at TWS on it with a red dot and wait to see what Manticore comes out with before going MI (though if MI does a keymod with a specialized top for various optics, I'd be more interested--but I'd still replace it with the Manticore).
As is I've added the SB47 brace, the spacer to add 2" or so, a Magpul AK MOE+ (sanded down to fit with the brace above it), the shepherd's hook replacement plate, a tapco g2 trigger (that i polished), and a Griffin Armament 762SD flash-comp (not on their site yet) which will take the QD blast shield if I need to get that. More soon... |

Looks good--just shorten it by a keymod hole or two, and put a hole in he bottom for a screw in the front, and you're done!

Debating if I want to do an integral hand stop or not.... |

That would stop me from having to buy a handstop. With these MINIs, I think a handstop is a REQUIREMENT.
Right now, I just have strips of skate tape up there (and I sanded it to reshape and make it a bit more pronounced--as well as painted it black). * I was thinking of just using a longer screw, then drilling a hole through a Magpul or Larue handstop and mounting one that way until your rail came out. With keymods or piccany. The sight radius on this gun is horrible, so a red dot is a must. I'll get your top rail whenever it comes out--though I may end up using this gun in a Vickers AK class on 1/5/15, so I may get the TWS to hold me over. |

I agree, I think for safety (and product liability) an integral handstop is pretty necessary. I think we can still get 4 Keymod slots on the bottom even with a handstop. It should look pretty MP5K-ish in appearance when done.
I'll get it modeled up and post some pics in a new thread, sorry to hijack! |

Here's one of mine. These were made from mp5k grips and cut down/ modified to fit a rail. If love it if someone made these commercially as they would work for any style of gun, SBR or not....

I could probably be convinced to make those if I could borrow one to make a prototype off of...

Only thing is I will not be doing an integral vertical grip, as that would instantly make the Mini Draco into an AOW.
But I can Keymod or ARC LOK slot the handguard so you can easily mount a vertical grip of your choice, and I can still incorporate a forward hand stop in to the design. |

Thanks for the info guys.
I didn't know the mini and had a lot of after market support. |

I would think an integral hand stop would be a bad idea considering how many people use AFGs on their pistols and place them as far forward as possible. Integral anything can be a deal breaker to a lot of folks. If a person wants a hand stop they can add the one they want later. Adding a hand stop is a lot easier than removing one that's integral. More options for the end user if left slick.
I'd also like to see it stay the length it is in the picture instead of shortening it. As long as it doesn't extend past the bare barrel I don't see how it could hurt anything. More real estate and it looks damn good! |
