Project with new MLOK rail finished! Very light rifle must I say. Off to the range tomorrow! Thanks again! http://i385.photobucket.com/albums/oo293/phuphu1012/new/n1.jpg http://i385.photobucket.com/albums/oo293/phuphu1012/new/n2.jpg http://i385.photobucket.com/albums/oo293/phuphu1012/new/n3.jpg That's a nice, small gap between the end of the hand guard and the barrel. What is the length of the barrel and what is the length of your SLR hand guard? |

Thanks! It's a 15" rail on 16" barrel. I would've gone with the 16.5" rail but it's not available in MLOK yet. Wonder how it would've looked..hmmm..

Need some assistance:
I'm buying a 9" Keymod Solo, as soon as they're back in stock. Todd said mid-December, so I'm counting the days. ANYWAY, I don't plan on using the 4 holes on the sides yet, and would like to cover them. Does anyone know the ratio between the length of a keymod rail cover in relationship to how many holes it will cover? Basically, I don't want to buy a 5" cover for each side if I need a 7" for each side. I'm liking the looks of the KAC keymod rail covers, and the RailScales.

Yeah, air soft and all, but they looked great on his rifle, they're cheap, and the poster said they were kind of snug going in, leading him to believe it was gonna be solid and not come loose. Also, looks like it'll cover 8 km holes.. But they are softer panels, so I imagine cutting them would be easy enough. I have a 9" km solo, too, and just ordered these. I'll see if I can't find his post and photo.

I need to get some of those carbon fiber mlok covers. I put a pig skin at the bottom of the rail which is great for shooting over barricades or fence lines stuff like that but the rail is just a hair too narrow for it to work well. Sadly when I ordered my second SLR for a 308 gun Im putting together they were sold out. If you are undecided whether you should get one of these or not I would say go for it. I am a big fan of geissele rails and really love my MK4 that is on my go to ar15 but these SLR's are quickly climbing to be my favorite rail. |

I have one 5.45 in a cmr rail which I like a lot but I will probably get an slr for 5.56 some time if I build another one. I was playing with building a 6mm something but I was thinking about trying a new vltor integrated system for that. I think it is cool that they are as similar to the geissele rails as they are as I liked them a lot. |

What is the barrel length and length of the handguard on the rifle in the second photo from the top?
Great looking gear by they way. I think I may go with the 16.5 Solo for my future Grendal build. I think it would go well with a 20 or 22 inch SS barrel. I like having the bipod way out forward. |

For those of you who want to know. Fortis + SLR + Elzetta = WIN!! I love this set up. I can locate the DD sight further up but its to close to the fortis mount for me. It has room but its so small a piece of paper won't fit due to the screw. It clears it, I just like to have a little more of a space.

I just need to know the exact length of the forward portion of rail on the bottom of the handguard so I can figure out if an AFG2 will fit on it or will it have significant "overhang"? I can't really tell from the pic. 11" Solo Series HG |

Hey Todd, would it be possible for you guys to list the EXACT LENGTH of the rails on your website. I order a 10" rail a while back and I was trying to butt up a KX3 right to the end. I did some quick CADD based on the rail be exactly 10" and everything was going to fit perfectly. When I received the rail, it measured at 10.125" and now I'm forced to trim the rail back 0.125". Had I known, I would have had my custom barrel cut 0.125" longer...

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? Quote HistoryQuoted:
It's pretty obvious how it works. The gas tube goes through the center of it and locks it in place, the handguard then fits over it and is prevented from rotating.

Let me rephrase... if the anti-rotation device does indeed utilize the gas tube to stop hand guard rotation in the event that the barrel nut loosens, is this superior to having two tabs that mate to the front of the upper receiver? Is there any concern for binding of gas key as it tries to interface with the gas tube in the event of loosening? Many other designs make a point to not contact the gas tube at all and some designs on SLR's site still show anti-rotation tabs. This is the reason for asking a clarifying question about how the design is intended to function.

This is the reason for asking a clarifying question about how the design is intended to function. I can't answer that. my opinion (and I could be wrong) would be. that it's much stronger than the relatively small thin AD aluminum tabs. the new AD insert is relatively thick and wide. and, at the point that it would contact the gas tube, would the point of least leverage (and thus be the hardest point to bend) of the exposed portion of the stainless steel tube. and, if you did manage to bend the tube there. it would likely only bend slightly. because it would take a lot, lot to shear the gas tube off or bend it enough to pull it out of the receiver. more than what I think the AD tabs would ever hold up to. I have three of the tab style AD HG's that so far have been more than strong enough |

Just to be clear, if you re-read my question, the point is not about strength or the ability of the insert to effectively prevent rotation. My question is if the design might cause function issues in the event that barrel nut loosening occurs. SLR looks like they make some great designs so I'm guessing they may have already considered this and I'm looking forward to hearing their thoughts.

Almost there, very pleased
New to me.....thought it was the upper till I got out the rest of my picatinny and calipers......I don't have any rail that matches the SLR profile The final height is dead on so I have no problem with this but it is different than all of the upper rails I have.....or any rail I have for that matter 
Looking for a Renegade looking for feed back on the Renegade , there is very little out there about it and those are mixed between happy people and people who say they have torn up receivers and a hard time manipulating the handle I have heard of updates to the handle but am confused about the reviews I am seeing and the timeline of the updates |

I have both the old and new versions of the SLR anti-rotation system and can say that either will work just fine and not impact performance in the unlikely scenario of a rail loosening. The new style insert will not tweak your gas tube enough to change the angle so that the carrier key on the bolt improperly impact the tube. Gas tubes are too rigid and there is not enough play if your gas tube and upper are in spec. |
