well the forward portion of the rail isn't going to fit into the handguard retainer like a set of handguards would. you are going to have to measure the distance between the FSB and the delta ring. My guess is that it would have a sloppy look to it. why don't you just get him a drop in 2 piece rail that fits? like this http://www.leapers.com/prod_detail.php?mitem=&level1=&level2=&itemno=MTU007SS&status=utg |

This...Midwest makes a 2 peice drop in, and Samson makes a FF rail that uses a standard barrel nut but has a cut out for a FSB. |

I have one of these I am not using. http://www.leapers.com/prod_detail.php?mitem=Mounting%20Systems&itemno=MTU015 You can have it if you want it. I could post it to you and you could try it out. If you like it keep it. If you don't then pass it on to someone else. IM me your address if you want it. (No charge. No strings attached.)

My dad's AR has a midlength upper.. that handguard looks to be for a carbine setup? |

I guess I was planning to remove the handguard retainer altogether when I took the FSB off to install the FF rail. I agree leaving that on there would look pretty bad. I'll check into the options mentioned in the thread. |
