Plenty of room for the Ti-Rant 9 
The forend slides into two grooves on the sides of the upper and is locked in place with the front pivot pin. 
The barrel assembly is held in with two screws and just slides right out of the upper. I didn't take the gas regulator out but it is just held in with a pin. 
Index pin 
Ejector held by two screws on the left side of upper. 
Hammer looks a little different I will try a SG3 in it later. 
Carrier and bolt similar to AR style with dual recoil springs. 
Charging handle similar as well.

Will this thing take AR15/M16 FCG/Selector? Looks like the lower will take a RDIAS. But, it doesn't look like the carrier will trip a RDIAS. Affirmative to the first part. From googling, looks like there is supposed to be a sear trip that attaches to the notches on the bottom of the carrier. |

Where are you getting a 13.5L tri lug from? Quoted:

Glad to see a ti-rant will fit under the handguard. I'll throw a 3 lug adapter on mine when I get it and then wait for shorter barrels to be released. Where are you getting a 13.5L tri lug from? TROS is rumored to have one. Just isn't listed on the website. |

I was wondering the same thing. Anyone know? Quoted:

Question about the barrel. Would it be possible to cut the barrel down to a 4" barrel and have it threaded to 1/2x28 without it not messing up the way it cycles? I was wondering the same thing. Anyone know? If it's anything like an AR one can simply open up the gas port. |

Mine is over gasses when suppressed so I'm trying to adjust it. The barrel looks like you can cut it down. |

This will be my first. |

Near as I can tell, the MPX barrel extension/trunion is pinned to the barrel, so to get at the gas port you'd have to drive out the pins and press the barrel out of the extension.
That's assuming the barrel port is the real restriction and not something in the piston mechanism. |

That's assuming the barrel port is the real restriction and not something in the piston mechanism. Assuming it is like the MCX, it is likely within the piston mechanism. Hopefully my MPX gets in this week and I can post pictures of all the assemblies together. |

Other thread I'll drive my pin out tonight and take my piston housing apart. |

Quoted:
I'll drive my pin out tonight and take my piston housing apart. That's actually not necessary. The pin in the gas block is simply retaining a spring detent. You should be able to rotate the plug and pull out the piston without removing the pin. I discovered this when we took the gas block off to chop the barrel and nearly lost the detent pin in the machine shop.

http://www.ar15.com/media/viewFile.html?i=77030&prev=1 I took mine apart this morning because I want to thread the barrel but don't want to pay 145 for a barreled action. What pin did you drive out to take that whole housing off. |

Anything else to make sure the piston doesn't come apart? How hard were the pins getting out? |
