@Midwest_Ind

Is this close enough to hold up placing an order for some small stuff on your website?
Also, if yall are waiting on stuff like retail packaging, I don't care!

I agree. Just stuff it in a box with instructions and I’m good. Save the money with packaging. Thank you guys for doing this.

Couldn't wait any longer on the other parts, as the ACR is not getting any long-term love these days.

However, one step closer!

There is a link on the website.

Probably just a typo on the part of whoever made that page. We know 516 stuff is coming very soon. Probably this summer sometime.

We will begin work on these in the next two weeks. That being said it will be 6-8 weeks until we will have parts for sale. This isnt a overnight process. Lots of steps to get them out the door. I will update you all as things get close.

Weight on the hand guard is 8.4 OZ. including all mounting hardware. It uses the factory barrel nut and the install is super simple and fast.

I want to give you all faith these are coming soon! I would estimate they will be ready in about 3 weeks (4 tops)!
We will be doing a pre sale on them in about a week.
Can’t wait to get them to you all. We appreciate your patience as we get these done between all of our other products.

Without further ado:

Your welcome . It was a difficult feat to get these going with the back logs I have in all the machines . These should be available for pre order in the next week or two and releasing very shortly after. Thank you all for your patience . Stay tuned for the pre order announcement.

We may. We have it designed but right now I am happy to get this version going and released . I want to see how long it takes to move this first run of parts. If they fly off the shelves I could be convinced to move on the shorter version.

The top rail is 7.25 in length. The sides extend to the front edge of the gas block. It should work fine with a 10.5 inch upper

I’d buy one if it was lighter than the OEM rail, which I’m sure it will be.

Edit- posted before I read the whole thread. Does anyone know how much the OEM rail weighs?
