Anyone have experience with Samson's mlok handguard for the MPX?

View Quote @Morgan321 nah I haven't gone down that road enough to get an answer. The OEM canebrake is supposed to work but it looks like you can't use the m-lock slots if you have a fat-ass can. So I'd either need a pic top rail mount for my light or an extended thing so it's behind the can. Honestly it seems like I'd be spending ~$300 to maybe get my support hand a few inches out on an already short, low round count gun. Not sure it's worth the squeeze for me yet. |

View Quote I can tell you my sico hybrid does fit in the sig mlok handguard, but not if anything is mounted on the handguard via mlok. I'm in the same boat sort of, trying to find out if an mg7 will fit in the sig keymod handguard. Not cutting my handguard and don't want to buy a second handguard. |

I’ve used it a few times with great results and am in the middle of setting up a case for my Spear using it. |

You can get a carbon hg to fit on a Rattler upper but you would need Virtuous Concepts MCX XL XTN to bridge the gap. I tried a VC extension with a LT upper and I ended up just searching for the actual legacy upper it's supposed to mate with. There was too much side to side play. Being that the Rattler is even shorter than the Virtus/LT upper, I can only imagine that side to side being even more excessive. Imo, I wouldn't use the VC extension unless paired with a "metal" hg.

It's the adapter piece needed to "bridge" the gap if your using a "legacy" rail with the Rattler upper. Your right. The Ir dot just clears. Definite splash on high lol. |

View Quote The Rattler LT appears to use the same receiver as the Spear LT, at least when I counted picatinny slots from the end of the upper receiver. I don’t have one though. The Rattler LT is the most appealing of the new gen gun to me. MCX stuff can be confusing with the different generations, but MOST of it is cross-compatible, with the exceptions being the handguard from legacy to Rattler to Virtus and the OG Rattler having a shorter oprod. If there’s any combo or plans you’re considering guys on here should be able to let you know if it works. Plus, there’s a SIG employee on here that’s really helpful. |

Right now, leaning towards either building from scratch with a Legacy upper, Lancer rail and Virtus or LT internals, or buying an LT rattler and slapping a Lancer rail on with the extension and giving that a try. |

Thanks for the help in this thread guys. Pulled the trigger on 6.75” .300 Rattler LT upper, MCX Stock, Lancer CF rail, and XTN. Only bummer is that they can’t pop the muzzle device off before they ship it.
I’ll be throwing it on a spare Remington Defense or Colt SBR lower with a T2, MAWL, and SF762 mini. Looking forward to this. |

what recommendations so people have for bridging the top of the handguard for the MPX to remove any play and possibly mount a laser?
