Firearms bullshit

New piece for the shotgun

Do not like but don't let my opinion change your mind if you like it.
It wouldn't be so bad if there was MLOK on top.

I like full length rails on top because I mount my pressure switches for lights/lazers on top of the rail.

Yeah that was “different”

The only part of the top rail I use the very tip for a front backup sight. Overall I think it’s very comfortable if you use the c-clamp grip and/or don’t have monstrous hands. Personally I point my thumb towards the target with an AFG so I use the top rail basically as a thumb stop.

The way Aero’s Atlas handguard clamp to the barrel nut is pretty slick, seems BCM’s system is similar

Looks good and feels good

Shoots very nice

Shoots better since I put the new scope on it. About to order a more long range scope for the AR and put this one on the .22

If you want long range get a 308.

I think im going to go with BCM rail on my next build

I like that! I will admit I am a BCM fan, good stuff

Not that long. I have an 18" barrel on my AR. I can hit 220, but I can't see it very well with the scope I have. Just want something with a bit higher magnification so it's easier to see 200-400. Ideally I'm looking to shoot 100-400 with this setup. 200 comfortably.

I should have just built a old school AR with iron sights. I have so much data book info in my head from shooting it. I cold make a wing call and get in the 9 or 10 ring on my first shot. Same for elevation. 8/3-2 to 8/3+5 if inside 575 yards you are fucked. Had to learn how to do that with the scope all over again.

I personally like the full length top rail.

If i was building an upper now I would go with the 15" BCM rail regardless if I decided on a 14.5 barrel with pinned muzzle device or a 16" barrel.

I guess I just don't really care for the long handguard. Is there any real reason to go with a 15" over a 12" besides the looks of it? 12" seems plenty long, but if there is a solid reason for 15", I am more than willing to go longer if it makes sense for functional reasons.

Also looking at the weight difference between the Aero and BCM the BCM is actually lighter even with the full length top rail.

This is based on the 15" length handguard.

Aero Rail + Mounting hardware = 12.67oz

BCM Rail + Mounting hardware = 11.5oz

Well I like that idea of lower weight. They also sell a 13" guard too.

Best I have on the phone without pulling it from the safe. I can grab more later if you want more detail. Recently attached a sling to it.

I like it! The 15" looks great on the 18" barrel, but I only have a 16" barrel.

funny enough I have that one in 15” on my rifle. I’m likely going to sell it

Hmmm... If I decide on a 15" hand guard, I might take that offer.

It all depends on what feels good for you. I don't have a lot of bend in my left elbow when shooting. I use my left arm to pull the riffle into my chest. Trigger hand is relaxed. A straighter arm works best for that there for the longer hand guards. Most of the time my thumb is at 12 or 10 o clock on the hand guard also with a sling wrap.

@AssBurns there is a difference in Target shooting to tactical/combat shooting.

Target shooting I grab the hand guard ring and rest my left elbow on my belt. Arms are tight to the body.

Longer handguard lets you put your front sight further forward for a longer sight picture
Also gives you less hot barrel to accidentally touch

@AssBurns

Mostly it’s just preference. @Itaro has a valid point though if you plan on mostly using iron sights.

This is a 12.5 inch KAC URX III with a 14.5 barrel.

hand stop is my normal grip position.
if I had my peq-15 mounted it would still work but not if I had fixed irons mounted as well.

 

[oni06]

I would also add that if you are shooting a lot of positions such as off walls, barricades, etc.. the more hand guard you have the less likely you will end up resting or touching the barrel to something that fucks up the shot.
