[ARCHIVED THREAD] - MSAR E4 Rail Gun Homemade rails?

Did anyone try to make rails for their E4 from the blank rail stock that I saw over at Midwestern Industries (6 and 12 inch), or did anyone try another avenue and getter done.

You know, it is funny but I can't think of anyone cranking out rails for the E4 stock, I don't think I have seen even MSAR/Ratowrx offer them(?!)

If there is interest they would not be hard to crank out a batch.

They need a rail system that let's you store all of you unused rail onto it.

I just bought an E4 that is missing the 3 hole side rail, so any of you who don't need all those rails you can donate one to me. LOL

What exactly are you trying to accomplish that's different from the rails that come with the E4 or the extended rails that are floating around.

I want my light and (I'm leaning toward a Laser Max Rifle Kit) laser at my finger tips. I had Ratworx install the TR35 Rail that extends over the barrel so I think that the laser will fit nicely under the rail with my BUIS on top.
What other rails are floating around?

The 9" extended rail like fellow Bullpup brotherhood member Tomac uses on all of his is no longer in production but available from time to time on the EE. (I actually have one I'd sell for what I have in it ;) ) It extends out almost even with the gas adjustment and allows a right handed shooter to mount a flashlight out in front of the VFG for thumb activation.

Can you show me a pic of it installed please?
Thanks

This is how I ran mine.

I don't do it this way anymore. One member here broke his receiver when his side rail struck an object. My future plans are to replace the foregrip with the rail and run a light (and laser ala Greg3).
ETA I grabbed the wrong photo. This is a 6 in rail bumped forward one mounting point. I also have a 9" rail. I have to see if I have a pic of that.
