    Guess I should update after all the slingmount talk, tried a few different methods and currently have a make do setup.

    I didn't even try the ring dealio, it was mostly a joke, but tempting to try. In the end I was concerned with possible wear of the tube due to the steel ring moving against it.

    Picked up a KNS sling stud mount for a regular AR handguard, but the diameter of the flanges that come with it are the same as the diameter of the holes in the guard, so it was a no go.

    Ended up just throwing a short section of rail on there with an MI sling mount for an HK hook. I looked more at the DD mount that would go on the top rail in a horizontal fashion, but was concerned with wear since the HK hook would be going through a swivel mount. I may try it out at a later date since the current setup looks like a hodgepodge of crap and definatly is not as light as possible. For the time being, it'll do.

    Here's my solution to the front sling mount. Chop the rail section with the built-in QD.

    I think VT sells a QD for their own rails that mounts from the inside through the slots.
    I like that chopped TD. I did a couple of my own like that but kept the cap.

    I'm pretty sure they don't. I chatted with Kyle about this just last month, and he said they might start offering the chopped long rail. They DO have a sweet low-pro rail-mount QD in the works.

    Thanks. This one is a stubby that I cut down even further since I only use 2 fingers on it. Realized I didn't need the cap either, especially non-functional.

    The 9" will cover a carbine gas system. 11" if you have a midlength.

    what gas blocks are you guys running? larue makes one that would cover both fsb markings, however... i'm concerned about the whole dimple-set screw ordeal. on the other hand, if not done right... shaving your fsb can look terrible. you guys have good luck with the low pro blocks?

    I just shaved the FSB. If you take your time it will turn out just fine, and if it doesn't, the rail will cover it anyway, you'll hardly be able to see it.
