This is EXACTLY what I am planning to do to my secondary carbine!
Is that a Mid-Length Troy? I was thinking about rifle-length. Also, what did you use to touch up the FSB after to trimmed it? Great looking rifle! Thanks for any info, James |

Yes, it is the mid length Troy (9") and I just used the cheesy Birchwood Casey cold blue to touch up the sight block. A buddy of mine parkerizes stuff so the next time he does a batch I'll pull it and re-parkerize it and the barrel. |

I have a 7 incher on mine and I love it; Troy makes an exccellent line of free float handguards; though the lower rail was a pain in the @ss to get it (I used my regular FSB, for now), but the end product was still awesome.

I'm not a fan of a lot of sharp edges (call me old-fashioned) but yours is very nice.

A couple more quick questions if you don't mind.
Did you just use a Dremel to slice the front handguard cap off or something else? It looks like there would have been enough clearance to leave the bayo lug on. Would this have been possible? Don't want to hack/grind more than I have to. Thanks again, James |

Good looking arm you have there. I definitely like that handgaurd and flip-up sights. Keep up the good work and good shooting!

Aesthetically, it looks like S & W's new MP-15. I'd take your over the Smith for sure. Nice weapon.

I'm not sure about the Bayonet lug, but I think it would work. I did use my dremel tool extensively, as well as a pair of bolt cutters to remove the spring and snapring. The ticket for reshaping your gas block is to use a belt sander with about 80grit or so to start. As you sand away more and more metal the belt gets finer and finer so that by the end it puts a really nice, smooth finish on. Wear eye protection! This is my other hobby, or at least what I spend alot of money on... http://www.specialized.com/OA_MEDIA/2006/bikes/06SJFSRComp_Blu_l.jpg |

Currently I have 4 bikes, not counting my Wife's bikes (3) which I bought anyway. I just picked up the Specialized and it's a dream to ride. I currently have 1 nice steel roadbike for general riding/commuting. I have 1 Aluminum Cyclecross bike for crappy weather riding/commuting. I have a custom Titanium hardtial, and now the new Specialized. I sold my Downhill bike a couple of years ago (Santa Cruz Bullit) and will eventually get another one. |
