That's a start! Though I'm SBRing mine to CQC length, so that doesn't help so much. But thanks for the link!

Oh joy, another rail extender!
I could buy that then hang even MORE accessories off my rifle! Sweet! Two lights, three vertical grips... no, wait a vertical grip and two AFGs! Maybe two lasers... I would like to stick 3 or 4 bayonets on my rifle too. |

Well, if I'm not mistaken, they also have pics there of replacement side rails, in FDE, with QD sockets. I WANT those. :)

In one fell swoop TD made the scar go from "meh" to almost everything I could ever want in a 5.56 semi auto. If there was a way to throw in truly ambi controls it'd be there. |

Emailed TangoDown on this issue and got a resoponse quickly. They said basically they are trying to gauge how many units they should produce initially and we should have more info in about a month.

I wish there was a product that integrated a rear QD swivel somehow...

Just curious... what is the weight savings on the new rails?
It says they're "lightweight"... but that doesnt mean they're lighter then the factory rails. |

Quoted: I wish there was a product that integrated a rear QD swivel somehow... The Vltor stock adaptor has one, but I PREFER the SCAR stock, so it's a no-sale for. I use a BFG UWL on one of the rear loops, and and QD attachment for the VCAS sling. |

The factory rails are injection molded plastic. The TD replacement rails are machined out of 7000 series billet aluminum and then type III hardcoat anodized to mil-spec. They are heavier than the factory rails. If I get a chance to pop mine off I'll get a weight comparison for you. Stephen |

Expect side rails and latch in 6 weeks, 10-12 fro charging handle and front sight assembly, and 16 fro teh extended rail system. Awesome and well done Tango Down!! |

Not bad at all (about the same area a Vltor or other stock would have it's QD cup). The rifle sits flat against me with a two point, no rolling to speak of, and shoulders well. Worked out great! |

I got tired of waiting from someone to bring something to market so I bought a VCAS and a UWL for the front. Sling problem solved for now. Rather have QD though. |

I'm not at home to pull out the SCAR. I thought about that as well. There would probably be enough room in the tail end of the lower. I just couldn't bring myself to drill a 1/2 inch hole in the lower receiver of my 17. The stock for some reason seemed a bit more "expendable" as I figured if it didn't pan out I would just toss the Vltor adapter (once it's available) on there, or find a stocker somewhere. |

i wonder if you could tig something to where they have the rear sling hoops.... I do understand not wanting to take the risk of drilling the lower. That would take some major guts
