    Really like the VTAC Extreme rail but it is just begging to have integrated flush cup QD mounts at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions toward the rear of the rail. There seems to be a nice solid spot there that could accommodate an integrated QD there.

    For that matter, the rear edge could also use a bit of taper like the original VTAC.

    This is the right concept but am holding off to see where certain areas can be improved. Rear 9 o'clock QDs are a requirement for me nowadays....

    Uchida paint pens rule and are at Michaels.

    One thing about this tube- install the rail panels before you install the tube! The 6:00 position is particularly important.

    I also like the fact that the price on these has come down.

    Why is that? And what do you do if you need to move things around after you install the tube?

    If you have a low profile gas block you can just slide the tube off, move the accessory rails wherever you want, and put it back on.

    Even if you want to install them without removing the tube from the rifle first, it's still relatively easy to install accessory rails if you're patient.

    Is that a hammer forged BCM barrel?

    How much does the carbine weigh?

    I screwed up and installed my lower rail right in the path of my Stag gas block. I still managed to slide it into position and attach it without removing the rail. Just took some creativity.

    I picked up a Noveske VTAC with one of these rails - so far, I'm really liking it. However, I'm also searching for a front QD socket solution like many in this thread. I'm considering the VTAC LPSM, but I thought I read in a VTAC course AAR that VTAC might be offering a 2" rail adapter with a QD socket...apparently some people have been cutting the 4" in half with some success. The 4" with socket is just a bit too long, adds rail in places I don't want to mount extra rail (which sort of defeats the purposes of such a slick handguard).

    Has anyone read about a new QD solution or should I just go ahead and get the LPSM?

    I opted for cutting the 4" in half. It has worked fine.

    I'm certainly considering that...it seems like enough people are doing it that they should sell them that way.
