Yeah i did. You could do the above. All I used was a set of pliers with good abrasive teeth and loosed each up the same amount till It fit. Its simple enough. I think the slr is a little thicker due to the QD capabilities. I'm still not sure I'm a VFG kinda guy yet. Once I get those Hand-guard Panels I may just run those.

I can't get the Bravo Co key mod vert grip on my SLR rail to save my life. I know someone in this thread had an issue with that before, so what's the trick? I even took the entire bottom section off the grip and it still wouldn't click in. View Quote |

I even took the entire bottom section off the grip and it still wouldn't click in. We are aware and made a change. The BCM part is at the bottom of the KM thickness spec and we are at near top. Its literally .003" that is getting in the way. If it a huge issue I'll make it right for you. Some fit and some just do not. A couple passes of a file on the VFG post underside fixes it. All KN HG's mfg form 9-5-14 on have a the change. Its only the BCM QD VFG that has a this issue. All other KM parts fit fine. Todd |

I've got a Griffin Flash Comp that this could replace, b/c I like your stuff. Question, Griffin's FC mod 1 had ports on top at the 11:30-12:30 which, testers found, pushed the muzzle down a touch when firing (similar to the BattleComp). Their next gen removed those ports at the top and found a very neutral result...what you want to see from a comp. When firing yours, do you experience any downward push (I see the Syn Comp has open top ports)? I'm curious as to what removing those ports and keeping everything else the same would result in (ports open all around except for the 5-7 oclock). |

Gives more choices for receivers since the trend is away from Mil-Spec stuff right now. Next time extrusion is delivered I think we will start. Probably November. We will have to make a new vertical fixture to cut the end holes for all the lengths.. Its a time consuming process. It'll take a while for them to filter all the way through the 45 Solo variations. Anyone interested in a quad rail? How about a rail without KMOD or MLOK ? Just lightening holes or hell coil mounts for existing bolt on accessories ? Just curious. Todd |

Yea larger ID to shroud suppressor w lightening holes (non Key mod, non m lok) yet much lighter and ventilating in both small frame (556) and large frame (762) would be awesome. Keep the QD slots in same location as recent models. If even lighter than the key mod and m lok, you'd have a real winner. No need for a full picatiny rail at top, just at front end at 12 9 6 and 3 o clock. Am I making any sense at all? :) View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Just got my 14" Solo Ultra Lite MLok yesterday. This is a VERY nice rail and super easy to install.
SLR is a great company to do business with. Very quick to respond to questions and very accommodating to special requests. I wanted a 14" hand guard for a 14.5" lightweight build and really liked the Solo Ultra Lite with MLOK but only the Solo, Solo Lite and Intrepid were available in 14". I emailed SLR with my request, on a Saturday no less, and received a reply from Todd within the hour; "we can do that". 3 weeks later and I have the exact hand guard I wanted. What a great company. Pictures to follow |

BCM QD KeyMod grip pins are threaded. They can be turned out 1/4 turn and work on the SLR KM Handguards out there before the revision. All current HG's don't require and adjustment to the BCM part This only applies to the BCM VFG KM There is no issue with regular KeyMod bolt on accessories just the BCM QD VFG Todd I'll post a pic tonight |

Hey Todd. What about, and I'm just spit balling here, if you could do like mlok all around or even have mlok then just similar looking slots above and below. Also what about those little lines running the full lenth of the rail whats up with those things, could you do a run with out those or is apart of the extrusion? all this without the full top rail of course........just ideas.

View Quote We have a new and very different extrusion coming. By Christmas time a new SLR HG style will be rolling out. It will be 5.56 and G2(7.62) Compatible And also drop in versions as well. 45deg options , no rail versions and so on. I'm trying to have 4 different HG lines going soon. The current Solo's are here to stay. I just want another extrusion to play with. We really have been wanting to get in the drop in 5.56 HG market. That's the main push to develop this the last few month .It takes a new extrusion to do it so we went ahead and made it work for free float and drop in versions as well as the G2. Should be pretty cool but it's still months away Die is being made then test runs and so on.. Takes some time to sort it all out Todd |

These drop in hand guards will they require cutting the delta ring and handguard cap off? If the don't I see a mid length and a rifle length in my future.

View Quote Making an assumption on what Todd is planning, but drop in handguards use the delta ring and handguard cap. The type that use the standard barrel nut and require removal of the delta ring are usually a two piece free float design. Drop ins aren't free float. |

There's another company doing this as well, I forget who though. View Quote So the gas tube alone will be restraining the handguard from rotation? Or there will be 2 "shoulders" on the handuard to rest on the upper? |
