Quoted: That looks super nice. How hard was it to get the pins back in the FSB? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I wanting to get a 13" rail, and have it cut for an FSB at the mid-length location (cut similarly to the RIS II FSP). I would have it professionally cut, and installed. Thoughts on this? Ideally I would use a BCM MCMR, but I'm somewhat worried about rigidity. I'm also considering a Geissele MK8. https://live.staticflickr.com/1484/26104091475_62cfba9fc6_o.jpg That looks super nice. How hard was it to get the pins back in the FSB? Nothin' to it. |

Quoted: The biggest thing is access to how you are going to mount the FSB. Either holes or M-LOK slots that line up with the taper pins or screws on the sides or M-LOK slots that line up with set screws on the bottom. I don't know if the MCMR allows either.

Quoted: If you leave the crossbolts out, you can use the holes in the lower portion of the rail to line up your taper pins. Nothin' to it.

Quoted: Love it. Glad to see the rail again. It's been absolutely flawless, and this is one my favorite builds I've ever done. It checks all the right boxes for me. |

My son at Benning spec'ed this work gun from Nez R. in Austin. Nez builds proven state and national champion barrels, to include for the President's Match champion.
It's a 16-inch mid-length, turned and chambered from a blank to dead-nuts true and hard-nitrided for longevity. It's got an ARMS 41 folding front sight (the irons are strictly for back-up) and will be topped with a Sig 1-6x DM scope in Geissele mount. He'll mount his AN/PEQ-15 in front of the front sight.

Nice work, my friend. Was there any modification required to the FSB for fitment inside the SLR? I had to go full "Dremel-Fu" on mine to get it to fit in the CMR due to the tight inner diameter. |

Just picked up this BCM Kino off of the EE. Made some part swaps and waiting for a C4 MLok Mid Cutout to get here.

Does anybody have experience with the extended Spartan rail from ARMS?
They work with mid length FSB or has a removable top section for carbine length FSB. ARMS hasn’t responded to two emails where I’ve asked for the weight. There isn’t a lot of info out there. http://armsmounts.com/shop/rail-systems/r-m-s-56m-cv-m-spartan-rail/ |

This one is listed as 16oz on their website. That's a full "one pounder." By contrast, the midlength C4 quad rail in my initial page one post is about a quarter pound lighter. If you look at the M-lok version, that one is 8.9oz, almost half the weight of the A.R.M.S. Always remember, Ounces = Pounds... Pounds = Pain. Personally, I'd pass on that rail, but it's really up to you and your own personal requirements. If weight and overall beefiness is not a factor, then roll with it. |

That 1 pound listed in the “Additional Information” section for the Spartan rail may not be accurate. In the specs for some the S.I.R. rails, for example, the weight listed in the Additional Information section is much heavier than the listed weight in the description. The basic carbine SIR is said to be 8.6oz but the other section lists 1.1875 pounds and a length x width x height. Almost like it’s a shipping weight and dimensions. ARMS phone lines appear to be down so I emailed them right after I made that post to get an accurate weight on that Spartan rail but haven’t heard back. |
