You guys that received one of the 12" Monster barrels, what brand and length rails are you using to get to use the longest rail while not impeding a VG6 Epsilon in 6.5mm, while being able to give enough room to accommodate a SA Adj Gas Block (Clamp-On Style). Rail will need to be M-Lok style.
Appreciate the responses and looking forward to the next round of those 12 Monster barrels to get machined and sold/ shipped ????.
Thanks BFT for making this possible!!

an 11" LaRue LAT would work as far as the Epsilon is concerned but the gas block would require some effort to install as it can't pass through the back.
BCM MCMR 10" would be the longest they offer as next size up is a 13".

I was really wanting a LAT (and plan on putting one on something that has a pinned low-pro gas block) but had read about issues w/ the gas block. Time to scour YouTube and see what kind of workarounds people have come up with. Plus you definitely cannot beat the price. Do you by chance have a LAT? Now that I plan on building a few pistols, the length that rails are made at are a bit frustrating.
Again, appreciate the suggestion,
Bob

Have you messed with a LAT by chance?

I am not married to the SA Adj Gas Block. Do you know which adj gas blocks that will definitely fit under a LAT? You just can't beat a LAT from a price/performance ratio. While I don't have a LAT yet, I highly doubt that Mark would put out anything that is not up to par. The only thing I have read negatively about them is the laser engraving of "M-Lock & Load" or something similar to that on them.
Appreciate your time,
Bob

I am not married to the SA Adj Gas Block, would you know which .750" clamp on type adj gas blocks fit under a LAT?

I'm useing a 7 inch aero atlas s-one mlok on my 12 inch.
I like the aero handguards but only the first 2 inch's of the rail is wide enough to fit a adjustable gas block under it. Had a 9 inch on it at first but changed it out for the 7 inch.
I don't like my gas blocks under my handguards.

Wow. I'd say you
really need to want a LaRue to go through this. Installing the gas block
after the rail? Come on.

The jp adjustable gas block is a little smaller then the sa. Another option is a regular gas block and bootleg adjustable gas carrier.

A clamp on won't go through the back either. Any of the common .750 micro set screw style will pass through (Ballistic Advantage, Troy, Bootleg, etc.)
