I have the CASV-M, but I should have ordered the EL. For some reason I was thinking I had a mid length gas system when I ordered the handguard. Oh well, I just cut the front sight off and ordered the VLTOR CASV front sight. (I don't care for the front sight as there are no appreciable detents to hold it upright.) I like the handguard, but it does make finding mounts for optics a bit challenging. The additional height of the top rail makes co-witness impossible with an EOTech, but it does put it pretty close with an Aimpoint in its standard low mount. I also don't see the point of the system in general unless you have the older M203, don't most of the new launchers mount to the bottom of a standard quad rail?

Seriously, that rifle looks absolutely fantastic. That is the first CASV I think I have seen without a FFS, but I have never realy gone out of my way to research them. Might have to now |
Hey stick, what top rail system do you have on this rifle?
Is it the standard one that comes with the CASV? Thanks, erik

| I run the CASV-M on my Recce build. My barrel has a shaved FSB and I am running a 1-4X scope so I had no interest in a front sight. The CASV is an incredibly light free float handguard system. I like it because I can place the included picatinny rails where I want and am left with a smooth, easily grasped handguard that isn't three inches in diameter like some of the railed systems, once you had panels to them. I also like having the full length rail on the top, ideal for pushing optics forward. Because I am running a fluted heavy barrel I found the CASV a great place to ofset the added weight of the HB. Compared other free float systems out there the CASV is lighter and more flexible to use. |
