    My new build, with the 13 inch TRX Extreme on top of Bravo's 11.5 inch upper. Very pleased with the light weight, but still useful internal diameter.

    Have you shot your rifle in that configuration yet?

    Yep. Put around 150 rounds through it today (well, yesterday at this point). I have put most of a .30cal ammo can's worth, maybe 350-400 rounds, through it total in the last two weeks. Scary actually when I think about it. That rate of consumption will have to decline...

    Cool, was just wondering as I haven't thought to try the AFG in that manner. How do you like it?

    That can must be one snug fit, but it does look like it clears just nicely. Looks great.

    If this has been answered somewhere in this long thread and I overlooked it, I apologize for the repeat...

    Once you have the nut installed from one, can you swap out for either the 'regular' Extreme or the VTAC versions at any time? I.E. since I currently have the VTAC version, could I slide it off and just slide on the Troy version at any time without changing the rest of the gun at all?

    Yes they are swappable w/o having to remove the barrel nut.
    Be sure to really heat the bottom two screws. I use blue loc-tite on those. I use a butane torch or a heatgun.

    You know, I had been thinking of cutting off the front portion of my AFG because I never thought of just turning it backwards.

    I think I'm going to try this out on my VTAC extreme.

    If anyone has a picture of the barrel nut, I would like to see it. I'm thinking about using the Troy forend for a surpressed varmint build. I'm curious how stout the setup is.

    Thanks

    The only issue I might see is the gap created on these forends because of the lack of a continuous rail which might make it uncomfortable. I think I will turn one around right now just to check.
