Who makes this forearm?

[Roughneck-2zero]

Hi. This is from an ad for a DPMS LR-308. I like this forearm but I can't find one like it anywhere. The ad specifically said that it is not YHM. I want one with a top monorail like this and removable side & bottom rails. Troy has one similiar, but has a huge locking clamp on the bottom. I can't see that YHM has anything for the 308. thanks

Got a direct link to the ad?

It looks like an MI tube. Troy makes a modular tube for the .308.

If you're looking for an AR15 tube; Noveske, Wilson Combat, Geissele, Troy, MI, Fortis, Rainier, Apex... All make modular tubes

That looks like the DPMS forearm.... I don't remember which model it is that has the 4-railed handguard but I think it was the SASS.

kinda looks like the DPMS sass. maybe the GG&G.

[Roughneck-2zero]

Thanks. I have a DPMS 308 SASS and 2 LR308 AP-4's. I posted pics when I joined. The SASS is really nose-heavy and I'm looking to change out the forearm if I can find one like this. It does look like a DPMS lock ring.

The ad was on GB awhile back.

Post a pic of your actual poop man, and maybe we can figure it out.  Pics-of-pics-from-somwhere-else dont really help much.  Don't throw up a pic of someone else's ad, and ask what the hell it is - damn near impossible, when you're relying n thieir GB ad.  At that point, you should have asked the seller what it was, ans not us...  <dontknow>

[blue109]

The pic is pretty small. Would be easier to id if it was bigger.

[98Z5V]

Sorry if I sounded frustrated - I see a bunch of guys trying to help you, and not much to go on...  My apologies...

[Roughneck-2zero]

First, thanks for all the input. I looked into several of the models you guys mentioned. Troy has one similiar. This one could be an older, discontinued DPMS model. I'm just looking into lightening my SASS a bit. It's 16 lbs with the glass on it. I dont use any of the side rails and only use the front of the bottom rail to mount my bi-pod. What do you guys think about the Carbon-Fiber forearms? I'll try to repost the pic of my 308's. Since then I've added another AP4 and put better glass on the SASS.

GRG. they are all over ebay.

Nice setup brother blue.That extended rail on top would work great for MBUS.

[blue109]

Not mine Rene. I just have OCD and was determined to find out what rail it was since I'm planning out a new build and like to see all my options.

[unforgiven]

Good idea brother.

[Roughneck-2zero]

OMG, Thanks man. That's it, and it spefically says it's for LR-308. I ordered one today! Thanks again  <thumbsup>

Remember...there are two A3 rail heights for DPMS. make sure you get the right one or the rails will be a tiny but off

[Roughneck-2zero]

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. I can't find any info on the height of the forearm. Guess I'll know when it gets here. I don't even know what my rifles are. I measure the thickness of the rail above the charging handle right?

[blue109]

Si. There's pics in here somewhere..or just do a google image search and it will pop up quick. If I had to guess id say the rail will be the old height. Most companies decided not to play DPMS game so the new height is pretty limited.

[Roughneck-2zero]

I hate to keep running this post out, but I haven't found another thread that covers this exactly.

Anyway, I measured the thickness of the rail above the charging handle. My AP-4 measures 5mm and my SASS is 3.5mm, so the AP4 rail is taller. That means it's older, but more aftermarket quadrails will fit it also, right?
