2A BL-RAIL M-LOK 10"
http://2a-armament.myshopify.com/products/bl-rail-m-lok?variant=4744340803 The 2A Armament™ BL RAIL M-LOK series was designed as a lightweight rail solution utilizing proven traditional 6061 extrusion, and titanium as the foundation. The BL RAIL series of rails features the same lightening cuts found on the popular BALIOS-lite receiver sets. When the two are combined, a seamless look is achieved across the top of the firearm. The BL RAIL is just as capable on any quality forged or billet upper receiver offered from other manufacturers as well. By utilizing a titanium barrel nut, and an innovative 45 degree mounting system, the BL RAIL achieves a solid lockup with the upper receiver. The 2A Armament BL RAIL will ship with a 6AL-4V titanium barrel nut. An optional aluminum barrel nut is offered as a separate item for those looking to save maximum weight on a build. Features: Made from U.S.A. Certified 6061 Extrusion U.S.A. Certified 6AL-4V Titanium barrel nut as standard M-LOK mounting solution Mil-Spec hardcoat black anodized Free floating design 1.3” Internal Diameter 10” Rail with Titanium nut and hardware (weight 7.05oz)(2A-BLRML-10) MSRP: $219 Available on our website, and shipping to dealers now. These have been optimized to work perfectly with a 10.5" barrel! Thanks ARFCOM for working with us to get this right for folks. 10.5" BALIOS-lite complete upper on a Colt 6920 lower half.

Is there a KeyMod version coming on the heels of the MLOK?

Looks like you changed up your MLok slots a bit since your earliest versions. Curious to why you made the change.

If I remember correctly, Magpul asked them not to have customized slots, because they didn't want other companies (especially those without the precision manufacturing background that 2A has) to customize them, too. Basically, they were worried that it might result in some customized slots (not 2A's, since they worked perfectly) not functioning as well, which could hurt the reputation of the system. Or something like that. All newly produced rails have the flush slots without the lip around them. It was an aesthetic detail designed to highlight 2A's abilities, not a functional one. |

Any chance you guys updated the extrusion dimensions on this handguard for a slightly larger inside width underneath the top rail?
I bought one of these before this newer updated version (mine has the aesthetic milling around the M-Loks) but am unable to use it with my Syrac Piston due to the channel under the top rail being too thin. The .410 width in this image is too large to fit inside the handguard. As such, my beautiful handguard sits on the shelf.... waiting.....

He sold me the "first run" rail for an extremely reasonable price (less than most places charge for a current one) and sent it very quickly. The rail is soooooooo nice. Obviously, the current ones are great, but those little details around the M-Lok slots are icing on the cake. |

Any update on if the newer version will fit the syrac/superlative gas piston block noted above. Ready to pull the trigger but really want to try a piston kit in shorty build.

How is that compliant with the M-Lok standard?
The flat in front of the m-lok slot closest to the end of the barrel is not .300, which is the flat requirement. This is discernible from the picture because the flat between the slots is .300 per the mlok standard, and the flat in front of the slots is clearly not as big as the one between. |

Well this went over like a fart in church! Total fail (even enough so that we all agree).
Fail. Fail. Fail. Fart in church. Fail. Ugly as shit. Fail. Idiotic grip to receiver fit (has ZERO blending of grip to trigger guard). FAIL. No one asked for an aluminum grip (for good reason). FAIL. An A2 style, seriously?.. what is this,.. 2001?.....FAIL. Ok... I'm done chipping in with the hate.

I believe the .300 is slot to slot. The end of the rail would accommodate a full M-LOK accessory as they are designed to be butted up to each other within that .300. I will shoot an E-mail to Drake and see what he says however! Thanks! Ryan |

My 2000 F250 4X4 had the big "4X4" sticker on the side of the bed. Made the dealer remove it before delivery. I also will not let them attach any dealer logos or license plate frame. Unless they want to pay me for the advertising space. |
