| Thinking of putting a Noveske KX3 on a 13 inch barrel permanently attached. This would make it 16 inches and legal right? So the question is, is there a handguard that is long enough to cover the KX3 or most of it? If anyone has done this please post pics. |

Brownells lists the length at 3-9⁄23" (8.3cm) O.A.L.
That said, you could easily do 13". My brother posts on here as Nutro and he had a Mega upper done by ADCO that used a Larue rail, midlength cut to 13.7" and a KX3 that was attached. The LaRue rail was long enough to cover the base of teh KX3 where it was welded. |

Here's one from Cold, but I don't know if the kx3 is pinned or not:

I'd get a medium or Government profile barrel. My brothers in the pic above is a Heavy barrel and that sucker is pretty heavy. I'd also recommend a middy barrel which is what he and I both run and love. His is a tad heavy, but runs pretty damn well. To date, not a single problem with cycling. The LaRue rail is fairly light, so a smaller profile barrel will give you a little front heavy balance but will help with recoil and muzzle flip.
I had my RRA heavy barrel turned down to Govt profile and a Phantom pinned on my middy by ADCO. With the YHM two piece rail it's ligher than expected. |
