This seems to be the most appropriate place for this question. I'm taking my first crack at shaving a FSB. As of right now the plan is to use a BCM KMR rail on this rifle.
I've definitely seen pics of FSBs being shaved down way more, but I'm doing this with a dremel and don't really see much value in getting a bench grinder to speed up the process when I may do this one more time and have no use for a bench grinder otherwise. |
| Depends on the hand guard. Based on my own experience it's still too high, I had to grind it down to pretty much level across the top to get the one I tried to fit. If you're using something like a MCSR rail you have more room to work with but for most I think you've got a ways to go. |
| After i did mine and put the tube on, i took it to the range. Started shooting and got a decent group. As the rifle got warm my group shifted but grouping still good just in a different spot. Let it cool and shots went into the first group. Figured out as the rifle heated up the shaved block would touch the FF tube. Had a file with me and started removing some metal. After two tries all was good. |

All the way to the deck and rounded off. |
