To Mongo001, what is that gold stuff between the Troy rail and the upper and what type of siver bolt carrier is in the picture? and you must have the older Troy MRF-C my New MRF-C has the a screw on the bottom next to the detent plug.

I don't think the upper rail design has changed. Mine is brand new, the version with the set screw on the bottom, and I still have the "drop-off." What kind of upper receiver are you using? |

Ah, the MRF mod-3!! I just heard about it today, Troy is shipping me out the pieces to upgrade my mod-1 (I'll post a comparison), and now I've seen the pics. It's been a good day.  Corey PS Mod-3 upgrade kits won't be commercially available until probably sometime around 1/1/05. |

Ditto on the new MRF-C's. Get mine last week. On a RRA upper it matches/mates perfectly and can span the connection with a flat top adaptor (like a SWAN Sleeve).
There is no gap at all and it is in line prefectly with the upper. Also, mine has the set screw by the detent/retention peg Here is a pic, will try to get a better close-up pic.

Permanently attached 5.5" FH makes it 100% legal - overall length is 16"+. |

I am awaiting to hear about the modifications to the 3rd version. Sounds interesting. |

The saga continues... Guess I'll wait a bit more for the MRF-C of my dreams

I don’t know about High-Ground but my upper is a mystery. It’s mounted on a rifle I affectionately call “The Mutt” so that gives you an idea of it’s pedigree! She’s a little bit of this and a little bit of that so I’m not surprised that my upper is out of spec. No worries though, I was using a LaRue EoTech riser so it really didn’t matter if the rails lined up. YMMV |

Get one of the mod-3's and don't worry. YMMV. Corey PS Yes, I'm that confident that the mod-3 solves the stubborn detent problem. I hope I don't have to be the first to report that I was wrong.

Roger that. After another upper build I can get around to finishing out the carbine, hopefully there won't be a MOD 4 by then... I still like the MRF concept anyway, but it's going to be PRI for the SPRish one.

UPDATE
I replaced my Bushmaster upper receiver with a RRA upper receiver. I was hoping the RRA would be gloss black to match my early PWA lower, but alas it is still matte very-dark-grey. But I no longer have the rail offset I posted a picture of on Pg 2! Here is the MRF-M on a RRA upper and BM 14.5" M4 + perm Phantom. Just waiting for my OD Green MIAD to complete it.    On this last photo I had to crop out my hand which was in the picture. "Please don't fall over... PLEASE don't fall over!" |

Nice setup.
My old, gloss PWA is hard to match also, but I've never been concerned about it. If you can get your hands on a newer PWA lower, they are a perfect match to most upper receivers. |

Just think of shooting with your hand attached at your elbo.
