If you had wanted to get a longer hand-guard would the gas block fit inside it? I've been looking at the rainier arms extended block wondering if it would fit inside a hand-guard.
I haven't shot it yet! I've only got a few boxes of ammo. I want to stockpile more before I start expending it. I'm waiting for more Wolf 120 MPT, where is it.
The lower is a "legal" OLL. I got a few as soon as they became available, and kept them stored until I got the idea to do some Grendels. I'm stuck with 10 round mags and bullet buttons with them, so a Precision build seemed like a good match.
The Rainier gas block is minimalist and looks like it would fit under the handguard with no problem. They are all on back-order now though. I need another for my 16" build (a twin to the 24"), but ETA on the gas blocks is unknown. I got the Rainier because A) they will pin them on the barrel for you; and B) the AA barrels were only bead-blasted about 3/4 up the gas block, so I needed the unblasted area covered.
