The VCOG and any variable are also large optics and mounted in the foremost slot on the upper your still hogging 6 slots of the picatinny rail of the handguard(if the handguards top rail extends to the receiver). If you have any handguard shorter than 12" you would be severly cramped with a PEQ and NV and probably be impossible to have a variable, NV, and PEQ on amything shorter than a 12" rail.
I am all for longer rail, but honestly IMO to call the FRAK destined to fail or not a good solution because it may not allow use of thr SCO, a NV device and a PEQ doesn't seem fair. Because let's be honest how many standard small arms have a super long rail that extends to the muzzle device?
At least they are working on getting a free floated rail.
