    That's just crazy. And hey, I'll admit to it. I wouldn't have thought the pressure would have been enough to do something like that.

    I blew up my rail

    Wow, I had no idea you would get that much pressure, thanks for sharing, it definitely might save a hand or two (or at the very least another rail...)

    Seems like my little picture has become quite a topic, found it on Wilson combat's facebook page. As well as a local message board I frequent.

    I must confess, I posted it on a local shooter forum here where I am to show some that are tending to really stretch those rails out how they need to be careful how they do it.. Sorry to borrow, but thanks again for sharing!

    The LVOA Solution:

    The LVOA AR design fills the gap in SBR requirements (…Keep it Short) and eliminates the need for a Suppressor for flash reduction purposes. The LVOA AR is a Go loud, Go fast SBR.

    In late 2010 we grabbed John Boyette from TAG (Trace Armory Group) and spent some time on the range and the lab studying the philosophy behind the SBR and its intended purpose before we took the plunge to invest time and expense in the LVOA AR R&D effort. After some study we found that the best way to tackle the inherit issues of a SBR we had to provide a “full” muzzle brake to control muzzle climb thanks to the Battlecomp Enterprises BC2.0. Secondly we had to encompass a “flash” hider that would surround the gasses from the muzzle brake report, this is where the LVOA Rail was born.

    After spending many months developing the rail for testing that provided results further testing found there was much more to be done to better manage the unspent gasses at the muzzle without having to design around specific ammo. The need was to be able to get results from any round fired from the LVOA AR. In 2012 a completed and repeatable solution was nailed down that reduced flash to almost nothing regardless of the ammo type. During the ammo testing phase there was ammo that produced flash due to low cost powder and air density, but the LVOA Rail managed to re-shape the flash keeping it away from the sight plane.

    After completing the 12.0” LVOA –S (SBR) solution the demand for a non-NFA version quickly emerged from customers. The original release was pushed out to accommodate a 14.5” version (LVOA –C) with a pinned and welded BC 1.5 muzzle brake with an over-all length of 16.25” Although the dwell-time is longer than the LVOA –S it performs like the LVOA –S model. Both models feature the “Boyette” Wire Cutter, “Crossbow” muzzle suspension support and the Rail Bungee.

    Bravo to Stick and Fortis.

    Glad to hear of the positive outcome. Reinforces my choice to go with the new Fortis rail! Thanks to this community for looking out for one another.

    At least you did not get hurt! I'd imagine the rail could probably be saved by cutting it down some.

    Thats awesome fortis is taking care of you. Not only is it a decent thing to do but it is good business. M4Carbine.net is a great community and people are always willing to help. I always see people posting things like , "thinking of trying this x" and someone else is like "i never use mine, ill mail it to you. Whats your address?" or offering to lend out tools! on the internet! Friggen awesome.

    Your story touches my heart, they should make it into a lifetime movie.

    In all seriousness your scary experience has taught many of us an interesting lesson. Learning from others mistakes is the cheap way to do it.
