It's definitely GWOT/late 00's commercial market inspired. What I love about this thing, is I can dump a few mags through it and still hold it. All my Mlok rifles get too hot when I mag dump into dirt and trash.  |

I've had a few. They all run until they don't (it's rare for them to fail in my experience and I haven't heard too many stories of them just up and quitting). The brightness is adjustable but they're too bright for good use under NODs - think 511 comparable. Unfortunately the secondary market on them got stupid - you used to be able to find them for $125 or so but now they can go for up to $350-400, which is just dumb.

I didn’t think a 13.5” handguard would leave enough room on a 16” barrel It can be done with a standard 16" ops cut barrel. FH mount shimmed out with a fat spacer and custom collar. I did exactly that when the mk16 first came out. The FH has more threads than the brake - so you can do some tricky shit with it. It's how I got my MRE flush. |

Outside Diameter measures a couple thousandths over 2” on my cheap digital calipers. I might be able to get it to work with a PRI rail… Needs a CAR15 stock.

Very nice! I used YHM rail segments (Numrich still has some) and they fit perfectly on the sides:
https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/1481890 These are shorter versions and should work as well: https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/1972270 The top rail and bottom rail are lower profile YHM rails (the ones above will be too tall on the top) from an old drop-in rail that I had from them. |

Awesome, I just ordered two of the longer rails. Did you just tap and thread screws directly into the handguard? |

It's not an ideal solution but it should hold for now until I can find some appropriate flat nuts.
