Please, Please, Please make an M-Lok rail for the Sig 516 rifle!
Their quad is heavy and short with the gas block eating up space. Only Lancer makes an aftermarket hand guard now, and it is Carbon Fiber. |

@Midwest_Ind
Is this close enough to hold up placing an order for some small stuff on your website? Also, if yall are waiting on stuff like retail packaging, I don't care! |

Thank you guys for doing this. |

Couldn't wait any longer on the other parts, as the ACR is not getting any long-term love these days.
However, one step closer! There is a link on the website. Sig 516 Product Page |

We will begin work on these in the next two weeks. That being said it will be 6-8 weeks until we will have parts for sale. This isnt a overnight process. Lots of steps to get them out the door. I will update you all as things get close.
Thanks Troy MI |

Weight on the hand guard is 8.4 OZ. including all mounting hardware. It uses the factory barrel nut and the install is super simple and fast.

We have it designed but right now I am happy to get this version going and released . I want to see how long it takes to move this first run of parts. If they fly off the shelves I could be convinced to move on the shorter version. Troy MI |

Made an account just to follow the progress. Very much looking forward to this. I know a few people who will absolutely love these once they see the one I’ll inevitably get

Just a quick question to make sure bases are covered, but this will work with the 10.5 inch SBR correct? The top rail is 7.25 in length. The sides extend to the front edge of the gas block. It should work fine with a 10.5 inch upper Troy MI |

what is the weight of the complete upper?
|
|
|
I’d buy one if it was lighter than the OEM rail, which I’m sure it will be.
Edit- posted before I read the whole thread. Does anyone know how much the OEM rail weighs? |
