Another quick question...
I know with the Mid-Length barrels that a Bayonet will mount forward of where the flash hider normally mounts to the barrel (unlike a 20-inch or 14.5 where the ring is over the barrel).
Because I am looking at the Phantom with a Bi-Lock, I am curious if with the Phantom w/ Bi-Lock if a bayonet can still be mounted with the two lugs. Specifically, does anybody know if the mounting ring of the M9 Bayonet will be forward of the Bi-lock mounts given the forward nature of the Mid-Length barrels?
If it does, I will be sold and I will buy soon!
EDIT TO ADD:
Gem-Tech G5 pic showing the Phantom Bi-Lock:
Note, Gem-Tech has indicated that the HRT w/ Bi-Lock will mount on the 223-Bi-Lock BUT the G5, for obvious safety reasons, will not mount on a HRT Bi-Lock mount.
EDIT 2:
Here is a link with some pics of M9s mounted on Mid-Length uppers...
www.quarterbore.net/forums/showthread.php?t=355. I am pretty confident that this will work so that if I get a Mid-Length, add the Phantom Bi-Lock, that I will be able to mount my beloved M9s as well as my supressor(s).
Let me have a yard sale to come up with some money for this barrel and I will order soon.
