    neither of those VTAC attachment methods work for me. I'm using an HK snaphook so the top-rail-mounted QD sling swivel isn't for me. I also dislike the LUSA because it has to attach to a separate rail AND puts the HK attachment in the wrong plane. If i was going to do a rail-mounted attachment point I'd use a dedicated version and make sure it's in the right plane (HK snap hook loop should be horizontal, not vertical).

    I may try to cantilever a longer rail back from the 9 o'clock slot and attach the Gear Sector HK attachment I have.

    Do you know how to weld?

    Just got in my 13" Troy. I went with the Troy as I liked the looks over the slots, but what really caught me was the actual circumference of the rail and its light weight. You can read about it, but until I handled the rail, that is when it really sank in.

    Obviously it is not out yet so it wouldn't be an immediate solution, but perhaps the upcoming MagPul RSA would do the trick. Release date is reportedly 'Spring 2010'...

    Thought the exact same thing when I saw it. Unfortunately I was hoping for a quicker solution.

    I may try to just use the LPSM VTAC piece in the meantime.

    Anyone know who has them in stock? Maybe someone that also has Noveske Receiver endplate QD mounts too?

    haven't seen anyone that has both but Rainier Arms has the endplate and SKD has the LPSM. Both offer flat rate shipping of roughly $8 and $5 respectively, if thats what you were concerned about. You might call John at Rainier and see if he can get the LPSM but just doesn't have it listed on the website, could save you the hassle of shopping twice.

    Why not just use a wire loop?

    I wound up piecing something together for the time being. I took the longer rail section with the QD swivel cup (rotation limited, thankfully) and mounted it at 10:30. I had to put the backing plate on backwards as the ridges on the inside of the tube only line up with the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock slots not the 45* slots. Seems to be working ok.

    I also put one of the short rail sections on the bottom and it's exactly the right size for the TD Irish grip, and I'm going to try a Gear Sector hand stop on it too.

    New TRX Extreme Rail

    Hey guys,,just got home from a local Gun Show today and got the 13 inch Troy TRX rail. I was wanting the 11 inch one but he was out & I bought the 13 inch instead. I was worried it would not look right,,but after throwing it together for a quick photo shoot I like it alot !! Its a build in progress,,I'll have all the gritty details in the next week or so,,but I think its gonna be a good rifle !!! What do ya think ?



    So far I have a:
    DD14.5 Govt Profile BBL
    DD M-16 BCG
    Bravo Company Mod 3 CH
    Troy Claymore MB ( I know,,better choices,,but I live in NY,,,)
    Vltor MUR-1 Upper
    Troy Low Pro Gas Block (Set Screw type)

    I really like how the TRX feels,,its Small and it feels light & I like the rounded rail,,just feels better in the hand. I was concerned about attaching the rail sections,,but if I choose to use them I think they will be fine.....I'm not a big vert grip guy anyways. I think I did ok also Money wise,,,I bought the 13 inch rail,,the Claymore MB and the Troy Gas block for $260 out the door !
