I was just wondering how easy/difficult it would be to transfer the Vltor extended cluster rail to another M1A?
I am asking because I was at the fun shop today and saw an SA Loaded w/extended cluster rail and thought the rail would look good on my Scout. The Loaded, if purchased, would then go into the Sage stock I had planned for the Scout. I was pretty impressed with the Vltor rail the few minutes I had my paws on it, it seemed very sturdy and I didn’t think it added that much weight to the front end as I initially thought it would. I was just throwing ideas around, albeit expensive ones, so what do you think? |

Not sure if it´ll help, but I have a SOCOM II wich I want it to take off the Vltor rails because it gets too heavy when long walks during hunting season, So I email SA and here´s what the told me:
Dear Mr. xxxxxx:
Thank you for your email. Please be advised that the cluster rail is a factory installed item and we do not recommend removing it from your rifle. Thank you and best regards, XXXX |

That's an odd response coming from SA. Anyhoo, this won't be the first/last time I've taken a firearm down past the operator level. Just an update, I put the Loaded on layaway since they the shop wouldn't accept an interim driver's license while the replacement is being mailed out to me. I figure I'll take it to the range a few times before deciding if I'll put the Loaded into the Sage stock or not. Pics pending once I get back from vacation.

I don´t feel very confortable messing around with it ... if I brake anything I´ll have a very hard time replaceing it ....
