I recommend Wes @ MSTN or the guys at Gun Gallery or there are even a couple of guys in Arkansas that could do a great job for you as well as a new guy getting set up in N GA. So it really depends on your location.

Try emailing KAC directly to see if they would be willing to do the swap.. |

Try emailing KAC directly to see if they would be willing to do the swap.. I asked MSTN and GG and both said no. Installing one is one thing... disassembling an E3 is another. Lawmen's did mine. Quick turnaround too. |

I emailed Lawmens and was told because an employee quit that they are unable to take care of it, either

I'm am in the process of trying to figure something out for this exact situation. The guy that used to do it in our shop did leave for greener pastures but I am still in contact trying to possibly work something out with him to potentially provide this service. If I am able to get some answers I will let it be known.

how hard is it to remove the gas block on a SR15, i thought they were press fit

To my knowledge, the gas block doesn't have to be removed - the edges of the gas block have to be ground down. I was under the impression that this could be accomplished without removing the gas block.

IIRC, that's only if you want to use the URXII with a standard Mid-length gas system..I've been wrong before though. |

Kevins post in that thread: The P/N 20547-3 URXII Rifle Length rail does not have a relief cut for the midlength gas block.
The URXIII Rifle Length (P/N 30005-3) rail does have a cut for the midlength gas block. What will happen is the URXII rail appears to fit but the gas block will rub (unless the top of the block is taken down a bit) |

What will happen is the URXII rail appears to fit but the gas block will rub (unless the top of the block is taken down a bit) Awesome stuff. Does the GB even have to be removed to swap rails? I would think the GB could remain pressed on the barrel, but maybe I am not understanding the process correctly (and why shops are reluctant to take the work) as it seems straightforward and simple (as long as you have a URX wrench) |

I would think the GB could remain pressed on the barrel, but maybe I am not understanding the process correctly (and why shops are reluctant to take the work) as it seems straightforward and simple (as long as you have a URX wrench) Unfortunately yes, the GB has to come off to switch rails. In order to get the rail off, the URX barrel nut needs to be removed from the rail. The URX rail has two sets of threads inside; the back threads onto the upper, then slide the barrel in with nut already on the barrel, then the nut screws into the threads in the rail. Once the nut is off the rail that will allow the barrel to be removed from the rail itself, then the rail can be unscrewed from the upper. The URX barrel nut (aluminum one) is a one time shot and needs to be replaced after being torqued. The only way for the nut to be removed is to have the GB off the barrel completely. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. |

What will happen is the URXII rail appears to fit but the gas block will rub (unless the top of the block is taken down a bit) If I am reading this correctly, a mid-length gas block would have to be trimmed in order for a rifle length URXII to fit correctly? Or is he trying to say that an E3 gas block will have to be trimmed in order for it to fit? I ask because I have a mid-length barrel with a YHM gas block and my rifle length URXII clears it with no problem. |
