    I have a hiperform litewieght CF FF handguard tube (they are supposed to lighter than the Clarks) but I am running it on a fixed front sight upper. I would be tempted to run the upper with the GB just a head of the end of the handguard if I had to glue it up.

    Inspired by your post, I finally pulled the trigger on a DD lite 16 inch barrel and 6 inch DD light rail with Grant. Hopefully I will have it by next weekend. I was at a Hackathorn class this weekend and Sam from this forum had his. It was quite nice. I sold off my trusty Colt Tactical upper. It was a great upper but it is time for me to jump on the lightweight bandwagon.

    Greg:
    You should have gotten the Troy Extreme rail like mine. I really like the 11" tube, you can mount the rear sight back from the front and put a light at 12 o'clock for ambidextrous use.


    Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.

    I wanted to keep a fixed front sight and I wanted a rail with a profile more like the one on my 416. Plus, I am not really sold on the 12 o'clock mount....yet.

    Lol. I just went through my third carbine class in as many years with a hbar 1/9 with a surefire m500. Stubborn is the nice way of putting it.
