Hi all,
First off, awesome board. I've gotten more information than I know what to do with...
I tried running a search, but couldn't find anything that seemed to answer this question. So here goes. Sorry if this has been covered a couple thousand times already.
I am planning to build out an AR as my newest project. I am ordering the stripped receiver tomorrow morning, and then order a Model1 kit in about a month or so (after a credit cards gets paid down a little...). I have been looking at the model1 kits and think that I will go with a "pre-ban" (well, no-ban
) CAR configuration. I plan to add lots of toys in the future and would like to eventually go with something like a predator handguard. I think that's a free float handguard. Correct?
If the predator is a free float, is it worth the extra $50ish bucks and get the aluminum free float now, when I first order the kit?
I guess the basic question (after all my rambling) is this: how hard is it to change the standard CAR handguard over to a free float for the addition of a predator, etc.
Thanks in advance.
