GRA Posted April 15, 2017 Report Posted April 15, 2017 That is one sweet weapon indeed. Very nice and inspirational.
blue109 Posted April 15, 2017 Author Report Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Thanks. Have to admit I broke it out a few times just to look at it. Hopefully get it out to the range next weekend. Edited April 15, 2017 by blue109
GRA Posted April 16, 2017 Report Posted April 16, 2017 Who's hand guard is that? I don't recall ever seeing a "new" triangular. I'm considering a .308 dissy on the mid-length gas block concept with pinned FSGB. Got to find the right barrel as I want one as light as possible.
GRA Posted April 16, 2017 Report Posted April 16, 2017 Thanks I got to look this one up. Very impressive hand guards. Looks right at home on that build.
blue109 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Report Posted April 16, 2017 They are pretty expensive...But I love them. Have 4. Two Delta's and two round.
GRA Posted April 16, 2017 Report Posted April 16, 2017 Did they offer a hand guard cap for the triangular or did you fab that, or what? I like it. Carbon fiber should be light as a hand guard can ever get. Too bad they don't offer one in OD green but the black will work for me. If I do a .308 dissy it's going to be heavy for sure. Might be the right part to help balance it all out.
blue109 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Report Posted April 16, 2017 It's actually not that light, but it's as solid as they come. Stays cool in the sun (important in AZ) and from rapid fire. Zero flex. It's an old design, and doesn't really do anything that justifies the price, but I love them. Functional. Classy. Combat proven by the best of the best in the worst places. Not sure what you mean by cap, but it's all factory.
GRA Posted April 16, 2017 Report Posted April 16, 2017 Cap = hand guard end cap. The triangular or round metal piece that caps the opening of the front opening of the hand guard right behind the front sight gas block. It appears from the photos you have something on there.
blue109 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Report Posted April 16, 2017 Nope. It's open at the front. Just a snug fit around the FSB. might just be Shadow
blue109 Posted May 4, 2017 Author Report Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) Got a deal on some A.R.M.S. 40L rear sights. I like the KAC 200-600 alot, but these fit the PRI rail flawlessly. Look dead sexy. Put one on dissy and one on the matrix 308. Want to feel them out a little but I think they are staying on. Edited April 12, 2018 by blue109
GRA Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 I agree those do look good. Very sleek and low-profile. Who makes these again please and where did you get them?
blue109 Posted May 4, 2017 Author Report Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) A.r.m.s. inc. #40L They are taller than the KAC rears they replaced, but still plenty of room for the scopes. I traded into these with a friend. Gave him one of my KAC rears and some other parts he wanted. Edited May 4, 2017 by blue109
blue109 Posted May 4, 2017 Author Report Posted May 4, 2017 Pretty cool sight. Has large and small aperture, and also a pistol style notch for up close stuff.
GRA Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 Thanks for the close-ups. I like this. What does the front look like?
GRA Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 Brownells shows 3 models of the 40L. They show a .75 MOA, .50 MOA, and another .75 MOA. Kind of pricey but they look well made. Obviously you get what you pay for. Beats Magpul by a long shot.

COBrien Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 Looks like a good upgrade, blue! On a side note, that scope on the .308 has some hellacious ring marks!
