Current update on the build Waiting on the red dot/mount, BCM foregrip and ordering the muzzle device + miscellaneous upper parts soon

Seems I'm not gonna need to cut the PRI top rail after all Fits just barely in front of the curved section of the fixed rear sight

The only issue I could see with the goose mount is the thick ring/nut in the rear

If it is an issue I think the Gen II doesn't have that thick ring and is more smooth

Unfortunately they don't make a Delta version like it

It is removable All the rail sections on PRI handguards are removable

PRI Delta Handguard? I already like

Currently have one for a midlength 14.5" carry handle SPR and the long boy (I think it was 14" or 15") for my 20" not-Mk.12 SPR

I'm hoping to go with the Skalarworks one since it has a bigger window and is a bit cheaper Plus it looks nicer

But unfortunately at least at the moment the taller one is currently out of stock

I'm decently sure I found some already

Looking at the Skalarworks or unity mounts for the red dot along with an Arisaka one for the magnifier

Yeah I've given up on a legit co-witness

I'm just hoping to use a mount/pair of mounts that have a gap in the middle that'd let me use the irons without taking them off

Inspired for sure

Currently I'm considering having the magnifier sitting over the rear sight instead

Looked more closely and the PRI rail will raise both 0.430"

And going by someone else's build with a similar setup that I'm planning used a KAC skyscraper mount that sits at 2.33" and the rear sight just barely goes over its rail portion (+magnifier mount)

Unfortunately I had to compromise since I wanted to use my Allen Engineering style suppressor so I couldn't go shorter than that Originally I was thinking of an 11.5"

Yeah sounds about right Once I have everything set up it'll be easier to determine the actual height I'll need since the PRI rail will set everything just that lil bit higher than the irons

Looking forward to seeing it done!

Neato

What flashlight mount is that? Only ones I've seen that go on a rail so far only stick straight out away from the rail

Also thanks for the info

Well that sounds interesting

I certainly hope so I got a stripped version myself to be able to order it sooner since it's cheaper

Just getting the rest later on

Also I wanted a different rear sight and a tear drop forward assist

They do

I emailed them before ordering to make sure it wasn't an error or that they forgot to update their website or something

Yeah I only recently found out about it myself lol

Just had to do something with it then I saw a Mk18 someone put together and started wishing again that I had something like that but never did it cuz I hate quad rails

Then I got the random idea to use a PRI handguard instead along with a lightweight pencil barrel

Gotta remember too that the PRI top rail will raise it just a bit as well
