Looking for advice

[burr527]

Recently purchased an ARES (FIGHTLITE) SCR Gen 2. I'm looking to install the ARES Gas Piston on it and am trying to find a free float handguard to fit over it. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Prepare for some love to come your way.

F**k yeah! Pistons make AR's unstoppable. You should get a DPMS handguard on eBay.

Some of MI's two-piece FF rails supposedly work with pistons. Email them and see if they make something that'll fit yours.

The system runs fine without a piston, did you talk to them before you decided to do this?

burr527, I have no idea what kind of clearance is needed under the handguard for your piston system. I would go to the manufacturer and ask them what they'd recommend. Also, something else to consider is that many free float handguards will require that the original barrel nut be removed and replaced with a proprietary barrel nut. If you're not comfortable with performing that in-depth of a modification, you might be better off just to leaving it as a DI weapon. Or you could locate a competent gunsmith and have him do the work for a boat load of money..... Good luck.
