I live about 3 miles from their shop. They don't have a store front unfortunately. They man are they pricey.

I miss my PRI Delta....might have to get another.

On your second pic, how did you attack the Magpul vertical grip? Is it a M-lok grip? Stock holes or did you drill?

Also, on the same gun, which riser rail is that for your optic?

the vertical grip is a just a older Magpul MOE. I removed the feet from the vertical grip and used a factory hole in the forearm; the curve of the grip holds it in place and it is pretty stable.

the riser is an a.r.m.s. #38l.

The only only thing out of hand is that you don't have a mod0 in that collection.

Secretwheelman, I have the parts (minus the ops mounts) on my bench. Stupid AAC cans...

The "delta" shape ones are a very nice handguard. I'd have a bunch of them if they had a standard (or at least 416) top rail height.

I think the big barrel nut on the current generation ones kind of turns people off aesthetically also.

I actually like the large footprint of the barrel nut and handguard.

With the Delta, that front sight plane is a real PITA. And PRI sights are VERY expensive (not of bad quality, but expensive as heck), and their Delta sights are the only option, as far as I know. I wouldn't mind doing a Mk12 Mod-H type build with a Delta rail, and just run it without irons. I have an urge to do an SLR Grail rifle build, too....even have the stock.

I tried to get them to make a slightly taller rail so it would be at 416 height at least. I really wish they would just make a shorter version that would just be at standard height at the expense of piston compatibility.

I love my PRI gas block. All $70 worth of it

Son posing with PRI rifle length with 18" mid gas, yes we use eyes and ear protection when we shot it. Had to shave a ton off gas block and rail section inside handguard. Full JP low mass system, silent captured buffer spring, JP enhanced bolt, JP muzzle brake etc.

PRI are a pretty stand out group of folks if I do say so myself.

I really like the look and design of the full sleeved rail. I didn't know PRI made them, or that they were the same guys that made the front sight I bought ten years ago.

So I am trying to figure out what I need to put one of those on. Probably a 20" M15T that currently has a YHM forend and a FuCK DICK Swan sleeve.

Upgrade time. Did they have black Friday deals this past turkey day?

That is actually why I like them.
