[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Suppressor compatable freefloat forearm that will fit an NFA sidecharging upper? Anyone?

Posted: 6/13/2017 8:20:49 PM EDT

Without having to machine an easement around the sidecharging boss?

I've already got the Midwest Industries MI-SP7M, and before I find someone with a mill and a steady eye - has anyone found something off the shelf that just works?

Thanks for any help/leads/suggestions/tips/japes/whatever.

I couldn't find one in the length/M-Lok I wanted so I just went with what I liked and filed it down. Looks good too.

I got a 4.5 lfa on mine too. I got a Blem one. The 3rd keymod hole wasn't machined properly so can't use that one. But can't complain cuz it's a Blem and price was right.

I have a gibbs with a DRD front rail that fits fine. I had to dremel the first rail for the anti rotation piece but that was it. OP it might help if you tell us what upper you are using.

In the title: NFA (New Frontier Armory) side charger.

I just got done dremeling an easement with a thin cutoff wheel to clear the boss, now I just need to bolt it together to see if it fits tight and true.

If you're talking about the 3rd keymod hole on the bottom, that's how they all are - not enough room for 3 so the last one is too close to the raised portion where the screws go. I got a non-blem one. I still used the 3rd key mod hole, I just had to file down some of the raised keymod tabs on the rail section I installed.
