| So I traded for one here on this forum. What to do, in your opinions? |
|
IMHO, contact Ken: http://www.kmaerospace.com/M17s.html Mine before K&M...  Mine after K&M...   I could not be happier with it.

weight reduction is not significant. The slots lighten is up a bit shorten the barrel lightens it up some more. but it wont be a light gun. I like shooting mine better than my FS2000. mine was a new unfired model I lucked into I had ken do the full mod package $350 Shortened the barrel (which I am super happy I did) Installed the Trigger fix (this is the one must do item) got a new fancy trigger and the titanium firing pin  |

Quoted: What is the going price on the M17's? Old style M17s bullpups come up of GB On a regular basis. Prices range from $700 to $1000 Depending on condition For a decent grade M17s $800 is about the norm There is a tricked out K&M version on GB now For $1500. That price is about what you will spend if you Get all the options this one has. If I were in the market for another one I'd consider making him an offer.

Yep, whatever weight I might have saved by shortening/slotting was surely offset by the addition of rails, EOTcech, Surefire M900, etc. ... and that's all before the suppressor.  But it balances much better than stock (to me) and the weight doesn't keep it from handling well at all –– it has become one of my favorite rifles since the mods, whereas it was just a novelty piece before. |

This is the reply I got from Ken concerning your question: Never been asked for a rail that extends over the barrel. Unless it was a tall rail there would be no rigidity and nothing to hold it down. This is what it looks like for the MSAR/AUG. 
(NOT MINE) I have it on my MSAR and it seem strong. I don't see how it can not be done on a M17s. |
Well, I got it in the other day and my brother and I went to the range... Then I traded it to him for his S12 
He liked it alot more than I did and I got a Saiga out of it. So the ball is in his court. I will say that it is a damn fine rifle and maybe another time I'll have another to do with what I would like. |
