madmike26120 Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 I have a DPMS Sportical its a 16 " barreled carbine which I purchased in 2008.Im wanting to get suggestions for the best route to follow.My gun has a Vortex strikefire red dot,a harris bipod and thats about it.I was wanting to get rid of the bipod and put a vertical grip /bipod in its place.I also want to change the stock to a collapsable that has alittle more cheek rest,maybe a Vltor.My gun has the round stock forearm on it now.Is there a way to attach a section of rail underneath the fore arm or how do I got about attaching these accessories.Do I have to go the drop in railled route.

98Z5V Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 You can can the whole handguard setup and add a free-float handguard to it. That will give you the most flexibiliy, and isolate the barrel from any tension you would put on it with standard handguard setups. For a stock option, there are many. If you need more cheek riser adjustment, I'd suggest one of these. I picked one up recently, and it's quite nice. https://www.abarms.com/A-B-Arms-Urban-Sniper-Stock-USS-p/abauss.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmike26120 Posted June 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Do you think a new railed handguard is lighter than the factory sportical one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTrooper Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 depends on length and material a lot on that. you can get some carbon fiber ones that are very light, but even aluminum I don't think is that bad on weight, especially for the benefits. if you are running a bipod/grip, having a free floating handguard is the route I would go.

survivalshop Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Magpul MOE & you can use MLOC at 2,6 & 10 o'clock positions ( might require some minor fitting ) https://www.magpul.com/products/moe-mlok-hand-guard-carbine-length-ar15-m4 Magpul CTR stock has two different size cheek risers that clip on .https://www.magpul.com/products/ctr-carbine-stock-mil-spec I think your DPMS may require a Commercial size Stock , need to measure the outside diameter of the Receiver Extension ( Buffer Tube ) Edited July 1, 2018 by survivalshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmike26120 Posted July 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Yes I believe it is a commercial size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 1.17" OD vs 1.14" OD. Larger is commercial, smaller is mil-spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEER HUNTER Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 The Oracle and the AP4 are the same size and my AP4 takes a commercial size. The Sportical is a commercial tube as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
