Greetings...
Is there any reason I can't mount this to a Seekins billet upper receiver? |
|
GotFish,
I am not familiar with the Seekins part so I can't commend directly whether it will work or not. Most of the time the RIS II family of rails will not be compatible with billet uppers. This is due to the dimensions of the upper receiver itself. Many billet uppers use thicker walls near where the barrel extension is housed and that prohibits the bolt up plate from attaching properly. The bolt up plate has anti rotational tabs and if that area is any wider than a mil-spec dimensioned upper, it will not fit. I'll include an image to show you the anti rotational tabs I am referring to. Hope this helps. - Matt @ DD https://danieldefense.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/0/1/01-004-08020-011_2.jpg |
