Thats is perfect, thanks for the info.
Have one more question. See your running what looks like nightforce rings on the chopped recce, can i ask what height and can a knights 600 rear sight fit under the scope? Again thanks for the info! |

I just like the look of the PRIs, especially on the Holland, and they're priced right and PRI has ample stock; no parts hunting. Yes, the can would snug up similar exactly like a Mk18 CQBR. So doing some rough math off my Mk12, the handguard is 12 1/4" long. By chopping the first notch and the low space off the front, it should give me the exact clearance needed for the muzzle threads to be even. Add a few shims or crush washer and I'm there. Only problem is with chopping a FF RAS; kinda sucks to cut one and you'd lose the ability for the rail panels to lock in when reversing the clips but I run mine all the way back anyways. |

It would be nothing to renotch the rail for the clips to lock in the end with a dremel cut wheel and milling bit, would take 10 minutes max. Cant wait to see some action, this sounds kinda like that 12.5 mod 0/h thing that one guy has with the aem5 hidden halfway under the handguard. |

RTUtah as aaron580 said it doesn't take much to add the notch for the covers. I have done it with a file. I don't know how much the NT4 weights. I have a M4QD which I believe has a additional baffle over the NT4. My OPS INC 12th model is lighter than my M4QD. I bought it for a M4 but find it too heavy. I do use it on a MK18. The OPS INC balances better.SJR556.

The medium can be attained by chopping a long, but even still, I'd hate to chop one.

They also opened up the bore diameter to reduce the pressure when using the shorter MK 18 barrel.SJR556 |

Glad I scooped up a medium FF RAS last month. Might make this build much cheaper. RTUtah, I see the gov't profiled BA barrel you mentioned. I'd love this upper to have a stainless steel barrel though.
And yeah, those 1-8 Accupowers look awesome, I can't wait to get one. Lastly, speaking of rare rails, I know a guy who figured out a rifle he bought last year or so has a DD RIS GL/SSC rail on it |

I say chopped. Cool pic. Never seen that one.
It's kinda funny, AP, Variable, and Eothing all represented. Why does that AP look so long? Maybe it's got the caps on it. |
