    I set up my SPR with 13" VTAC with that unit on the top rail and it seems to work fine.

    11" Vtac.

    I think I'm going to replace the 4" rail for the 2" for less weight.

    I was looking at the ARP one, concerned about the nylon backing nut though?
    I have cut one down so it was one screw and the QD socket.

    I used red loctite on it.

    It has gone through some hard use with zero problems.

    have you weighted this setup yet?
    did it start life as a standard rifle/carbine? if so...
    shot it yet before/after and notice an improvement in accuracy?

    thanks

    Unfortunately, I don't have a scale. It started life as a Noveske midlength basic. I just put the rail on yesterday so I have yet to shoot it.

    jman4427 - Did you shave the original FSB or go with a new gas block?

    Shaved it with a bench grinder and a band saw.

    Correct, I guess I could experiement, worse comes to worse, a new rail isn't but so much. If I had a flat point drill I could make another hole in the 4", drill/tap the backer.

    I may try that also, was looking at it earlier and thinking how it would ride on the top rail. Attach it right behind the Troy front.
