Just curiuos; is it comfortable having thumb over x300?
I ask because I run a tlr which is stream light's version of x300, at 0300 and forward, to keep it out of way. 1200 makes more sense as it's equally accessible to both hands for activation, but is it comfortable with support hand at end of HG?
Thanks

Thanks. Will experiment when EVO arrives.

Met up with a forum member about 3 weeks ago and got to lay my meat hooks on the 11" evo. Love it. I'm looking at getting the Rainier Arms version as soon as it's back in stock.
My one stipulation for that version is whether or not it will mount rails at 45 degree offsets like the original. i.e. 2:30, 10:30, etc. They also need to lock up as solidly as can be. It'll be bearing a Surefire Scout light on my SBR.
Finally got to shoot my 16" middy with the Ranier Arms evo (12").
Feels great and I like the balance compared to previous setup, with SWS quad rail. Wanted lighter weight and smaller profile and got it. Amazingly it only took one click of windage adjustment to zero my BUIS at 50 yards. Elevation was spot on. Speaks highly to Samson's attention to detail, as I had changed from monster SWS barrel nut to mil spec one. Rail seems stiff enough and I appreciate not having to spend extra money for front QD point and small base for light. Used a Uncle Mike's QD stud on bottom for bipod attachment point, useful for zeroing scope or long range shooting. Heat buildup with moderate rate of fire was unnoticeable, and I like that gas block was covered. Burned a finger tip previously with one inch shorter handguard.
Worth long (six weeks) wait!

I have the 13.27 rainier version on a custom billet upper with ultramatch barrel. I've found no signs of flex what so ever and with how heavy the front end is already I appreciate the weight savings.
As to a posters' question a few back I do not believe that with the rainier version you can mount to the positions in between the 12, 3, 6, and 9 positions. As I look at my rifle it seems that the top, sides, and bottom are the only places on the fore end that will accept rail sections.
My son is thinking about putting one of the 12.37" rails on his BCM 16" middy. Does anyone have a good picture of one of these installed?
Also he wants to put a Harris bipod on it, which mount is recommended that won't break the bank?
I went with a QD machined screw item, available from Brownells or other vendors, with a washer and nut on the inside of the handguard. Very inexpensive and low profile. It replaced my quick detach gizmo which was pretty bulky and expensive. Believe it was this one: http://www.brownells.com/shooting-ac...prod42172.aspx

Just ordered the rainier version. Looking forward to grinding my fsb down and cutting the slip ring means I dont have to buy a wrench or punch any pins.
As for the heat, has anyone used foil or something? I have no reason to wear gloves anymore.
