I have browsed the sticky threads and read a few pages of info but I am new to working on this platform. Not absolutely sure my FSB has taper pins in it, I know how to identify just haven't done it yet. I am thinking of cutting down to make a low gas block so I can mount some form of free float rail. I don't need tons of rail so I am looking at Sampson Evo, Diamondhead, or MI gen 2 rail that attaches to the bbl nut that just has a top rail and smooth mostly everywhere else. The gun is a Bushy lightweight carbine and I am looking at a rifle length rail of at least 12" and possibly 15" so just a pinch of bbl and flash hider are exposed. Main question is are there any downside to the way these rails attach compared to more expensive rails? I don't know any other methods. The next question is what is the downside to cutting FSB other than not being able to use in the future. I figure it would be the best bet for function of the gas system. I also figure the bayonet lug will have to go, no problem with that. This gun is mainly a plinker and predator rifle. I have gone through and staked everything and it has a H buffer in it. I may order a BCG with the rail as a backup but the gun sees no real use at the moment.
