I want to run a 11.5" barrel with Noveske KX3 flash suppressor. Question is would a 12" quad rail be able to fit over the KX3? I want to use a Larue 12" rail in this SBR build. Im try to make it look real compacted. Thanks!

You will run into problems.  Here is a pic of my 11.5" barrel with the Laure 11" rail........



As you can see, there isn't enough room for another 1" of rail.  You will already have to find a thin wrench to fit between the rail and down on the KX3 flat side section.

Its a Tactical Innovations T-15 lower.  They really are a great lower and they are on sale right now for $99.  They have alot of features that others don't.......

- 7075 aluminum (NOT 6061)
- Upper receiver tensioning screw
- Rear pin detent capture screw
- Wire EDM cut magwell
- Multi caliber (can be registered as pistol or rifle)

Tactical Innovations also makes them in BILLET, but they are nearly double the price.

The KX3 will not fit under the larue rail on the far part of the kx3...just the bottom wrench part.

By the way - here's a secret tip to getting it tightened down when you can't get a wrench on it. Even better than using a strap (like oil filter remover).

Take the cone & retaining ring off, and you will end up with two notches exposed. Now you can use a long screwdriver or punch layed on it's end in-between the notches to use as a lever to tighten it down however you need.
