I'm trying to figure out if I can do this on a 2A Armament 15 inch rail.

Just not sure which rail would work best. Rifle in question. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/73787/IMG-1248-187939.jpg View Quote |

I'm weird with FSB's. I like when there is a cutout at the front of the rail, such that the side/bottom continue to the front of the sight, but don't come back together in front of it. However, I don't like the ones that come back together and continue as a full rail forward of the sight. For example, I like the Mk18 FSB, but not the RIS II FSB. Totally subjective and I can understand why somebody might like the latter; it's just not my thing. Either way, though, I admire homemade ones that are done well.

Folks, the intention was to keep the discussions limited to the builds posted here. Let's see some pics and specs.

I don't see why not. If you have an FSB in the rifle length position, you'd just have to chop about 3" off the top rail. I suggest taking precise measurements first, though. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

Nice. Your paint job came out great. Have you considered adding to the furniture, or do you prefer the contrast? It does seem to suit your environment. +1 for being the first RIS II. Anyone out there have a DDM4 FSB Rail? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I will likely cover everything at some point, all my other rifles are entirely painted. I am digging the contrast, for now . |

This is my build.

I prefer it to a flip-up. To maintain iron sight proficiency I use it about 80% of the time I shoot and only shoot the TR24 for 20%. By comparison the TR24 is cheating. Most of my AR's are FSP cutouts nowadays. View Quote |

I was going to post one but then read the middy part and it left me confused. Why does the OP think that there's a shirt that has what he is looking for?

I took my RRA standard A2 20" with the 1/9 twist barrel and replaced it with a Windham 1/7 Chrome lined and replaced the standard forend with a KAC FF RAS. I removed the FSB sling swivel and used a rail mounted one as a replacement. Its a great rifle. Its otherwise stock, no NM parts on it. My plans have been to shoot with this rifle in Service Rifle matches until I can buy a NM upper or NM Rifle.
Almost all of my AR's have FF front rail, most with KAC RAS or DD (MK12 Mod 1, M4 carbine, MK18, DDM4 v1, etc.). Kind of a shitty pic, but you get the idea. I created a thread with Q&A about building/modifying my 20" upper for Service Rifle and then at the end there is a link to my build thread. Starts here, more pics in the build thread. |

Not trying to create confusion. It's quite simple actually: If you have an FSB Build with a free float forend/rail, then post. Gas length does not matter. Mine just happens to be a middy. I'm also fully stocked on shirts. View Quote |

Simple? Why are you naming a gas length after a shirt, it's called a mid length. So yes, it is an actual confusion. So do you want a pic of a free float with FSB mid length, or of an infant or female's wearing a middy? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Here's the upper I built for someone else. It's a Lite Rail III/DDM4 9.0 rail modded into a FSP rail. It's a 5.56 with a 10.0" barrel. These rails were made to fit a carbine length FSB without bayonet lug or sling mount. I don't believe they will line up with a mid length FSB however. I encourage anyone who's building a rifle with a 9", 10", 12, or even a 15" rail with carbine FSB to pursue this mod.

Did you mill the rail or just assemble the upper?

I am digging all the Centurion Arms love in this thread. I'm a fan.

I cut it out with a Dremel and hand files and used a mill to drill the bottom holes. It wasn't hard, just time consuming since I did it mostly by hand. The bottom holes are already there on the longer rails.

I wish I could have found a centurion at a decent price but I settled for a casv for $125. It should work out pretty well since I'm moving my 2.5-10x32 vortex in warne qd rings off my. 308 bolt gun.
I don't have the rail yet but will post pics when I get it. |

I keep trying to snag a used Centurion cutout rail on the EE for my 14.5 in lightweight carbine , so far no luck . Will probably break down and buy a new one soon .

I need to jump on that list to get one of those cutout rails from Centurion. Looks sharp.
