This is both my first ever Ar15 and my first pseudo build. I bought the lower at a local gun show for 100 bucks about a week before sandy hook. RR lower kit (generic pistol grip that came with the kit till I decide which one I want and have more money) Swapped the selector for a stag ambi selector magpul stock Stag arms 3ghl upper receiver (bought assembled. I don't have the tools to do the uppers... Yet) Cheap scope as a place holder till I save up again for glass And yes the ejection port is on the correct side of the weapon. LEFTY POWER!!!! Still looking for ambi mag release, irons, and quality optics. But all the big money items are bought but the glass. |

I have a YHM in jail & trying to figure out what difference in rail and barrel length to go with to get the suppressor as close to flush as possible with the rail (using the flash suppressor mount also). Thanks |

I am using a 14.7 Craddock Precision Chambered in .300 Blackout. I am also using an SLR 13 inch Solo handguard on a billet Mega Upper and Lower. This my Carbine upper and I will make a SBR upper using an 8 inch barrel once I have possession of the can. I will also form 1 the lower at the same time. I pinned this one so I can use in the meantime. I believe it should be fairly close to the rail.. The Rail is very thin with a bigger barrel and well balanced. Overall I am quite pleased. NEed a few more components like optics and some ammo.... But that is another story

Thanks If directed at me..... 10.3" DD barrel on a 10" MI GenII-T series. I don't recommend it. To get the front sight to sit flush with the end of the rail, I had to notch the rail. In stock form there is a big void at the front with no rail slot and when the sight was installed there was a big gap to the end of the rail. In Theory any 10" rail would look the same. There is just enough room for a can to mount and sit flush with the end of the rail. Hoping I will get the ball rolling on a can this year. |

Thanks View Quote I have a Simplistic Shooting Solutions Brake shield for mine to cut down on concussion for the people next to me at the range. When mounted on the YHM QD the collar is almost compressed to being even with the end of the 10" rail. I assume the back of the can would be the same way. Mine: Here is a pic of what I believe is a similar set up to mine with a 1.5" barrel instead of 10.3". From WeaponsEvolution page: (link to article about brake shield) |
