    Piston guns?

    Hi, I own a LWRC PSD and was wondering if any either of these handguards could POSSIBLY work with the gas piston system?

    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply!

    I was thinking about using the 11 inch handguard in conjunction with a KX3 flash hider and eventually a suppressor so length isn't the issue but the diameter is of more concern. I'm pretty sure the gas piston system is to big to work with the handguard. Is this the case?

    Just got my BCM stainless upper with the VTAC 13 inch rail. I'm really impressed. I have the last generation VTAC rail and I really like the rail on top. The rail doesn't get in the way of the thumb forward or the more aggresive overhand grip. Nice and light and seems to be strong.

    I would like to try the Troy version with my Adam Arms piston. The 7.2" version will stop short of the gas block so that should be good to go. But I am wondering if there is enough clearance for the piston. Could anyone with the TRX and a micrometer tell me if they think the TRX meets at least the clearance shown here?

    Thanks for the help!

    Here's an 11" TRX on my completed Beowulf build. I love this handgaurd. I think for me the 11" is the perfect length. It's long enough for me to get an extended reach with my off hand and not too long to upset the balance of the rifle. I also think that aesthetically it looks better thank the longer 13" rails. I did have to remove some material from my PRI LP gas block as it was making contact with the rail on the bottom. Nothing a bench sander and some bbq paint couldn't fix though!

    Someone needs to make a good QD socket for this rail. I keep hearing that Troy has something in the works but I haven't seen or heard anything definitive.

    Shaved the FSB and installed the 13" Troy TRX extreme on my new 16" M&P after doing alot of research on this site and reading this thread.
    Installation was pretty easy, and I'm a noob when it comes to working on AR's, haven't done much up to this point other than stripping and cleaning.
    Lots of great info on this site!! Thanks
    I really like the handguard so far and I'm also pleasantly surprised how well the AFG works for me.

    To those who have installed the VTAC Extreme rail: What tools are needed for installing it and could you please provide a brief guide to installing it or links to any relevant information?

    Thank you.

    Is that a 16" Barrel on your AR?
