Does anyone know where these are being sold at? MI shows out of stock and my google-fu is weak today. Looking for the SS7 for an SBR build.

It looks like the mounting systems the same as the T-Series. Will the T-Sercis spanner wrench work on these?
TDMAKER  [Industry Partner]
10/10/2009 10:37:23 PM
yes it will . and the ss-series optional rails will work on the t-series.
thanks

The 15" will be perfect for my space gun with the extended gas system.

We will have the 15 going into production shortly.

What weights are the different SS models, esp. the 12" handguard? Are they lighter than the T-Series Railed Handguards?
Thanks...
TDMAKER  [Industry Partner]

The ss series is lighter than the t-series. I will get the weights for you later today or monday as i am not at the shop with all my info. The weights we will be putting up on the web are the weights with one 2.0 inch rail and one 4.0 inch rail. We will get all the weights on the web this week.

thank you

This is going to be my first Free Float handguard installation, does the barrel nut come with the handguard? Sorry if the question is silly, just want to be ready when they hit the streets.

The barrel nut does come with the hand guard. you will need to buy a barrel nut wrench. We hae those on our site.

Can you mount rail sections on the bottom of the SS, or anywhere for that matter?

And does it come with the full length rail on top as shown on your website?

Will OD be available in the 12"?

Thanks.

The hand guards come with one 4.0 inch and one 2.0 inch rail section. they can be mounted anywhere on the circumference. The 12.0 will be available in O.D

Thanks for the response.

Do I need a low profile gas block with a 12" rail? I would rather not replace my front sight. Thanks.

No you can use the front front sight on your rifle . The hand guared is not going to cover the front sight on a rifle length install.

Do you know the inner diameter in a circle for the SS-Series? I want to know if I can mount a 1.5" outer diameter suppressor under the forearm. Also, any way to custom order an 11"?
TDMAKER  [Industry Partner]

Troy,

How far out are the 15" version? Do you have any idea on weight for this one? Also the 12" are still unavailable on the website, I'm hoping you will be releasing these soon.

I have one question? In the picture on your guys website it seems there is a gap between the front sight and the handguard. Am I seeing this right or is it just the picture? Thanks John

Any update on the 15" ones? You are forcing me to build a whole new upper around this handguard.

Which brings me to another point, MI should be the first to make an 18" barrel with government profile and rifle gas system. It would be very popular...

The 15s are now running. We should be anodizing late next week.

Can't wait for the 15 glad I found this I was about to order the 12. Think the 15 will look better on a 16" barrel

The 15s will defiantly be very interesting. We have had alot of interest in them.

We only have a few of the ss-15 in black .we did not run many and only did black to see how they went over. I made a poor call on this one . They are going well and i need to run more a.s.a.p to get colors up.
