| I checked out a Mini Draco today and had some questions. Does the bolt strike the wedge or is it just insurance? How is the kick on these? What handguard options have people found. What kind of accuracy? |
The only aftermarket handguard available is the clunky Midwest Industries quad rail. Although, with some creativity and elbow grease, you can make some pretty neat custom creations
Accuracy is better than I imagined, and "kick" is less than I imagined. It definitely thumps, but it's the good kind of thump - the one that makes you empty all your mags and go back to the store for more ammo. |

Does the bolt actually hit the plastic buffer on recoil or is it just to keep the piston in the trunnion? Any wear and tear so to speak? Thanks |

I am really liking my MI railed hand guard for the Mini Draco so far. I certainly don't think it is too bulky as I like vert grips and hand stops and can't think of a better set up than what I have. If Manticore comes out with a hand guard for the Mini I will probably get one as I like to change things up every now and then.

I modified a normal MI rail to fit the mini because they hadn't come out with a mini specific rail. I'm surprised more people don't do this. The rail clamps to the barrel and the main part that needs to be modified is the seperate top section. Since that part is sold seperate for different optics mounting options, it's cheap if you mess up. I think the clamps also need a little bit of modification in order to fit around the gas tube. My mini is awesome and is easier to control than my normal draco. That could be due to the KX3 though. <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/salmonaxe/media/655698f17d35bc409eaa3be4bd1d7167_zpsb65b1a70.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/salmonaxe/655698f17d35bc409eaa3be4bd1d7167_zpsb65b1a70.jpg~original</a> I definatly like the length of the lower part better than the shorter mini rail. Can we get a better pic of the top rail/modification part? |

I'm also surprised no one seems to do so, it takes some minor fitting but is otherwise easy enough.
