I would like to see some side by side pics.

We'll see what handguard I end up with, and if I can make your wish happen.

Anyone know if the KAC URX-III is compatible with the LaRue Stealth upper receiver?

I'm pretty sure it is. Wes at MSTN uses the Stealth & MUR uppers almost exclusively. He has also been using the URX III alot lately. There is a thread in the KAC forum on silencertalk with several pics of his recent urx builds.

Edit: see the 2nd rifle on page #1 - Larue / URXIII

I doubt you will gain anything from a larue upper receiver except a bigger hole in your wallet and a few ounces.

I like the WC TRIM MAIL. Nicely made and well designed.

The non-railed portion of it is. Here's a pic of the T.R.I.M. cross-section:



The TRX Extreme is 1.75" OD (not including the top rail). Height of the TRX, with the top rail is 2.1".

Anyone know if Marvin Pitts had a hand in designing this?

I have decided to go with the *Wilson 14" T.R.I.M. for my build. I also decided to go a different route than originally planned for the upper receiver. Im gonna pick up a Noveske M4 receiver to match the barrel.

So far I have the 16" Noveske lightweight SS barrel, WMD Guns M16 BCG, BattleComp 2.0 and the BCM "GunFighter" charging handle. Just placed the order for the Noveske receiver thru Rainier Arms. I should have the rest of the parts in-hand to finish the build next week....

*ETA: I checked the Wilson Combat webstore last night to place my order and they now list the 14" T.R.I.M. "out-of-stock". I just called and I was told 5-6 weeks before they would be available Oh well, you snooze, you loose!

I going with the 13.8" Troy TRX Alpha
