Anyone love or hate the Troy TRX Extremes?

[Bobert0989]

Looking at the 11" TRX Extreme, just for something different, does anyone love or hate them for any not-so-obvious reasons? My biggest drawback right now is more personal than technical... is the AFG going to look funny mounted under this type rail?

A Pic of an Extreme rail w/ AFG would be awesome if someone happens to be running one.

Thanks

I just picked one up tonight for my light wieght build. I bought a JP for my other build that is going on but was impressed enough with the Troy unit to put that on rather than a JP on my light wieght set up. I has a nice small tube on it and not a ton of rails. As for looks it is ok I would like no rails on it what so ever. Troy makes some nice stuff so I do not doubt thier quality. Mine is a 13" unit that is going on a mid lenght 16" BCM upper. I just have to cut the sight and install. Should work well.

I was looking towards the 11" for a 14.5" middy build... but want to run my AFG... can't decide if it will look 'tarded or not...lol

OR if I like it enough, I'll just put the AFG on another toy and run with it.

Wish I could get ahold of a rifle-length MOE Handguard... I could see some very interesting designs focused around that or the mid-length either one.

Let me know how you like the rail system after shooting some...

Thanks

I have three of the 13" models and like them a lot. Ill probably go 11" on the next.

Any pics of retaining a front sight block? Just snowballing ideas here... man that looks like work making the AFG work on it though...

I love mine (11"), but I had to send it back for repair after removing it the first time and the helicoils pulled out. I installed it again same day I got it back per Troy's instructions and the helicoils pulled out again. They sent me a replacement by next day air. I'm afraid to remove it now to add a rail for fear that the helicoils will come out again. This is it's archilles heel. I would not recommend them to anyone because of this and I don't feel comfortable selling mine to someone knowing that they have this problem. In the future I'll stick with Larue and DD Lite rails.

Interesting I've installed over 50 of these rails and haven't had any issues.

I only have three but take them on and off all the time to add or remove rails or for cleaning and havent had a problem w/ the coils. Ill be ordering more of these rails as I purchase more rifles.

Remove it and if the coils dont come out Ill purchase it from you.
