Before you go bashing dudes maybe you should just say thanks to the guys who are doing great things for our rifles!! |

Not to derail too hard, but I've hard work done by Marvin twice and I might have ordered an RPM handguard? I'd know if he responded to my message, but no idea.He did tell me the price and that it would be "at least several months" when I originally inquired.
I didn't BASH him, what I stated was 100% fact. He's a guy. In Canada. That you have to contact via Instagram. Who may (some of you) or may not (me and others I've seen) respond to your DM's. Un-bunch yourselves. Regardless, I've had dealings w/ MI on several rails and even has a CS issue on something they carried but didn't make and they've always been top-notch. |

Tempted to pull the trigger. My ACR is in dark earth (or whatever they called it), hence my hesitation. Not sure how matching of a color it is or how it's going to look like.
ETA: just realized they don't make it in FDE. |

I ended up getting a black rail for my FDE ACR.
It actually looks pretty awesome. The rail itself is trans-formative, absolutely, unreal in feel. It completely changes the profile of the front of the gun and the extended real estate is SUPER useful. MI, thank you so much for producing this. If possible, can you guys consider a 45 degree selector core for use with your new paddles? |

I bought the new safety levers, they are nice but--I wish one was the length you guys made, and wish one was shorter as it digs into your trigger finger. I ended up only running one of the MI levers on the thumb side, and kept the plastic Bushy lever on the trigger finger side.
So to sum up, I wish you could only buy one, or I wish you guys did a long and short. |
