There is a tiny bit of space between the fence and the upper. It's close, I think it will work.

The horse shoe shaped gas blocking/deflection fence used to be full height in its entirety, you can see where we shortened the section where Troy's sight ears need to fold down completely

None of the backorder BS we saw from another vendor who shall remain nameless Great customer service and even greater gear. While I am sure that there are other good gear makers, none have been as good as Esstac in my opinion. In fact, Esstac pouches were on almost every belt or vest when I was at Gunsite. And now that they're making the FCD slings for Roger, I'm probably going to be ordering it as well. But I am going to wait until I give the LFT sling a try first. |

The modifications for the Troy work great for the Pro LR.

This might be a question for a thread of its own, but since it involves ACF I figured I'd ask here.
Pretty simple really, how would you compare ACF to the PRI gas buster when it comes to mitigating gas? I have a couple uppers that need charging handles, and I've been decided on getting ACFs for them but I'm wondering if this is the best route to go? I know the description of the ACF mentions a "taller and better gas deflection fence." I also read everywhere that the PRI is the way to go when it comes to gas mitigation, but I know it's been around for a while. So I'm not sure if that info is just a little dated. And yes these uppers will be suppressed more often than not. They're 0.069 gas port 11.5" FBI barrels, so they won't be anything crazy overgassed. |

Surefire mini-2 on a SR-15 CQB KAC Heavy Buffer + Tubbs flatwire spring. Typically I do not notice any gas when 223 using a PRI Gasbuster - eye pro or no. After switching to the ACF I do occasionally notice gas. It's not eye-watering or anything - I just notice it. So far it's the best I've tried aside from the gas buster. As good or better than the ACH and much better than the SD. |

I picked up a RHF handguard and would like to find a forged upper that has scalloped picatinny edges to match the handguard. Any lead time on your forged uppers or an idea of other forged uppers that have the scalloped picatinny edges? |

Specific to gas, it does not do as well as the gas buster or Griffin SNACH - but it's not specifically designed with that in mind. That said, I'd echo the above in that the ACF does far better than the ACHs of the world. You aren't going going get gassed out unless the rifle is way overgassed to begin with. I'm thoroughly impressed with this charging handle. |

CMT's, and many billet uppers have the slightly scalloped 1913 inside rail edges.
ACF's gas deflection fence is simple and straight forward. The effectiveness of its gas blocking feature is rather subjective, there are more with the opinion it does a better job than CHs specifically designed to do it, but as mentioned previously, we've always considered the gas blocking feature a minor feature of a host of features. The gas deflecting used to be supplemented by a gas vent which we subsequently discarded, couldn't tell the difference between with it closed or open, it'd run amok of patents too. ACF's features that took most of the R&D time was its shape, its "constant motion" latch that doesn't bottom out when and if you need to mortar the rifle and doesn't put stress on the material around the solid latch pins. It wasn't designed to be a gas buster, it was a simple feature we tossed in. Even so, it can stand on its own as a gas buster CH, never mind it was never billed, or designed to be. Feedback that it's superior to many CH insofar as shielding the users' eyes from the gas generated by over pressure introduced inside the cavity in the upper and lower (by the suppressor) so far has been the majority of the feedback we received. We still don't bill it as a gas busting CH, for it is not why ACF was created. |

It was intended to bring a 13.9" to over 16", it should work on 13.7" but the barrel will need 0.1" of washers or shims, assuming 0.5" of barrel threads.

Duffy,
I'm hearing tell of a V1 and V2 version of the FDE ACF Seems like the v1 FDE looks more like what you are now calling Mallard Brown - whereas the new one is more the traditional goldish (below pic: from left to right #4 and #6 are both supposed to be FDE). Just wondering because I got an "FDE" marked one that looks exactly like the Mallard brown. Any differences besides the colors? Are the "mallard" colors going to be limited releases?

Those aren't my handles - they are from some FCD slut on reddit. Shamefully I bought one from a scalper for $130 because I could not play the waiting game anymore. It's the only thing I've ever broken down and bought from a scalper actually (non-gun stuff included). Honestly, I'm fine with whatever shade of FDE - but if what I've got is somewhat of a rare version or part of a limited run I would like to know.
