I'm glad I found this site called Ohhunt. They have a free float MK12 style handguard with a FSP cutout. It shipped from the US and is perfect if you don't have the cash or can't source a KAC MRE rail. Installing it is like putting a ship into a glass bottle. Took me about a hour to figure out as I am a basement gunsmith. It's very secure with these locking pins and three set screws that go into the collar barrel nut part. It's way lighter than a drop in extended quad rail and looks great on my 14.5 P&W upper I put together last night. I based it off this reference image I found from Google and a tribute to the early 2000s Delta operators. A poverty tribute. Only thing I want to do is get a CAR15 stock with butt pad and a fresh unpainted Redimag for it.

Did my best to get as close to clone as possible, but clone doesn’t always equal better. It’s still a work in progress, I’m not quite ready to call it done quite yet.

This was my first time painting a rifle, so cut me some slack.

I lost one #22L of the pair, so it’s become a light mount with the #37 ring insert. 😂

Basic 16 inch PSA with Bushnell Holosight, replica PEQ2, CAA light foregrip, Monstrum extended quad rail, and CAR15 stock. Just a fun mess around with parts build seeing what I can throw together.

Started out as a trade in bushmaster xm15 carbine gas with a heavy barrel
I swapped to a Roscoe husky mid length 14.5 with a pinned and welded otter creek labs otm brake, I need to find something with magnification to throw on it to see how accurate it really is, but it runs super good with an Arizona regulator. The brake and the mid length gas makes it shoot buttery smooth

Imagine my burning shame when I have to move my RC2 from one rifle to the next. 🥲

Also someone talk me out of putting the Razor on my 11.5 and putting a higher power scope on my 14.5.

Gonna be honest my favorite part of putting together these builds has been learning about flashlight attachments the SF m952v is what gets me up in the morning 😩😩
