I PSed these to remove the visible gas block on the carbine and I lengethened the rail for the rifle rail

My barrel is at ADCO right now getting reprofiled and as soon as it's back it's going to Lawmens to have an URX installed

The gun is going to wear a TA11 and an UBR on it and it'll be my new general purpose gun. I think with the new profile, carbine rail and the UBR it should balance pretty well.

I'm leaning towards the carbine since it'll be lighter and with the 308 platform, the receiver is a bit longer than the 223 receiver so I won't have a problem having something to hold on to at the end of the rail

TA11 and the middy length and scope with the rifle length rail. How much are they charging, thinking of getting this done. Thanks.

Awesome, looks better with the shorter rail IMHO.

I'd definitely go with the longer rifle length rail, man. A semi-auto .308 rifle is a heavy bitch anyways, so what's a few more ounces, ya know?

Also, it's always nice to have a longer rail on precision rifles (or any modular AR-style weapon system in my opinion) for a variety of reasons, not just hand placement further down the barrel.

I think the main reason it's great to have a longer rail on this type of rifle is so that when you're using an improvised rest out in the woods (or wherever), you don't have to worry about accidentally placing the barrel itself directly on whatever you're resting the gun on, as we all know that will potentially F-up longer range shots just enough to miss that little bastard of a hog that was giving you the evil eye and had it coming.

Unless there's a front sight base in the way, I see no reason on a rifle such as this (or 5.56 SPRs) to get the shorter rail. Just my personal thoughts and opinions though...

Semper Fi,
