I really need some help on this!
I have a 12 Inch .50 Beowulf and I am having one hell of a hard time finding a rail for it that I like. I really want to run a Daniel Defense M4A1 RIS II rail but it is too long. My next choice is a Daniel Defense MK18 rail but that is a bit to short. Most all 12 inch rails I find are over 12 Inches and 12 inches is the max I can go with.
So me being the rebel that I am, I am seriously considering cutting down the barrel for the MK18 Rail.
The barrel will go from 12 inches to probably between 9.5-10 inches.
The gas system is a carbine length gas system and the gas port I can almost get a 1/8" punch in the hole. What I am worried about is cycling isses and obviously any other issues that I may encounter when doing this.
I need your guys help to either talk me out of this if you think it will be a bad idea!
