FAQ: The Big Thread On FF & Railed Forends (Page 6 of 8)
carbine length gas system and a low-profile gasblock under the rail thanks |

I just received one of Badger Ordnance's Stabilizer Hanguards for my AR-10. The price was right and I like the look at feel. However, I can't find any information about the "T" slot down the bottom of the handguard. I read somewhere about a "handstop slot" on the bottom of one of their models. I assume that's what this is. I can imagine what a handstop slot is used for, but where would I get and handstop (if I wanted one)? Next question; (probably better put in the build section, but since I'm on the subject) any helpful hints for installing one of these? I've put in a few FF handguards, but this is a bit different... |

| any way we could update the chart on the first page with newer offerings, e.g. VLTOR, JP VTAC, DD LITE, etc. |

Austin, There seems to be some discrepancies:

The MI weights need to be updated too: MI (Midwest Industries inc.) is/has released a Generation 2 version of their handguards (both free float and non free float). The main upgrade/improvement is their new lighter weight. After some additional machining to the inside of the handguards they averaged a 15% drop in weight. New Weights MCTAR-17 (2 Piece Carbine Length) MCTAR-17C (2 Piece Carbine Length Colt© Mfg. Guns) Weight: 9.9 oz. MCTAR-18 (2 Piece Mid Length) Weight: 12.4 oz. MCTAR-19 (2 Piece Full Length Rifle) Weight: 16.0 oz. MCTAR-20 (2 Piece Free Float Carbine Length Forearm) Weight: 11.0 oz. MCTAR-20X (2 Piece Free Float Extended Carbine Length Forearm) Weight: 14.0 oz. MCTAR-21 (2 Piece Free Float Mid Length Forearm) Weight: 13.5 oz. MCTAR-22 (2 Piece Free Float Full Length Forearm) Weight: 17.1 oz. MCTAR-24 (2 Piece Free Float Forearm 10" Length) Weight: 14.7 oz. ETA: Paul, of BRAVO COMPANY, posted the above info on one of his ads. |

http://www.cmore.com/quadrail.html#Anchor-4349 I just picked up a c-more systems quad rail to put over a 16" Bushmaster SuperLight barrel. I just wanted an inexspensive FF quad rail and the price seemed reasonable. Does anyone have any experience with this product? It seems to be built well but I guess I won't know until I get it installed. p.s. - If there are tricks to installing it (that aren't in the "installing a FF tube" post) please let me know. |
I would guess POF since they make the upper for Bushmaster. |

Check out the Troy v. Sampson lawsuit info thread. Sampson lost a suit and can't make the rails anymore. |

I will be picking up a set of them from B Co soon. |

| All the technical info on these forearms is great, but I'd like to see more reviews from those of you that have them on your AR's. I've looked through this thread & haven't found the answer to an earlier question about the Surefire M85's & I'm also debating on the MI #18's. How did the install go, good tight fit up, is there any torqueing/rotation when using a forward pistol grip, overall opinion, do you wish you'd bought another brand? Thanks for any answers. |

| I am sorry if this is the wrong place to post, I have read here for awhile but never really post. I have a KA M5 RAS onmy bushmaster dissipator, I shaved the inner part of the top rail for the gas block and the rail is rock solid. The bottom rail is tight until i put a fore grip on it and it has some play, is this normal for such a high quality rail system? Is there a way to fix this without getting a FF? Do other 2 piece rail systems have this problem? Thanks everyone. |

Does anyone know if the larue rails will fit over a chopped off FSB like is shown in the big how-to thread? http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=4&t=226782 Information on gas block options like that that fit/don't fit each rail system might be handy. |

You can compute/estimate the weight of the VIS rail by subtracting the weight of the MUR from the total weight of the VIS. The weights are on the VLTOR web site. What rails does Noveske use on the non-VIS N4 Light Carbine Low Profile Upper? |
|
Don't know what the weight is, but here is my Colt 6920 with the new DD Omega 7.0 rail with a Surefire M900 and OTAL laser mounted on it along with a EOTech 552 on a Larue riser. The pistol is a Glock 21SF with GTL22. Edit: Updated the rifle with Magpul CTR stock and LaRue mounts for light and laser.  |
I would also like to know about this. |
