I need to shave the top of my FSB off of my carbine length LMT, so I can mount a mid-length FF rail over it(to cover up the cut FSB), and then mount a flip up sight on the rail.

Yes I realize I can just put on a low profile gas block, but I prefer the strength(pinned) of the standard FSB. Anyone know what place can do this for me? I dont have the tools to do it.

I would imagine any decent machine shop could do it easily. Just don't assume they know exactly what you want.

But for $25 or so you could buy a dremel and do it yourself. Or are you talking about somebody doing the install of the FF too ?

i saw a guide on ar15.com that showed a how to on how to do that. it did look really good

 

[Guest]

A dremel and an oxide deburring bit can do it. I'd imagine any gunsmith or AR-smith can do it for you for probably close to $25.

 

[Guest]

It's aluminum. Got a hacksaw blade and file you can use? Sure. it will take some time, but slow and careful might be better than fast and OOPS!

 

[Guest]

What rail are you going with?

Thanks Mike

Great question..that was my next inquiry.
I encourage you all to shout out your suggestions.

But whatever it is, its gots' ta' be funky funky FRESH!

My very-slowly-coming-together LMT build is going to have a Larue rail on it. Yeah, it's a little pricey, but I like it. The built-in QD mount will save me 30 bucks or so on a DD rail mount as well.

The 10.0 or 11.0 would be good for a 16" carbine with shaved FSB...

 

[Guest]

That....is VERY sick. I think thats what the guy has on the lower AR in the above picture. I'm very afraid however to ask what that runs price wise. LaRue ain't cheap.

 

[Guest]

Nope, I was wrong...the one in the pic I posted is a DD 10"

 

[Guest]

I'd go with LaRue, but they are expensive.

 

[Guest]

True enough...it is good stuff though. Here are Mark's prices: AR Handguards

The 7.0 I'll be using is listed at $247, it'll be a bit cheaper where I get it and then save 30 on the rail mount and I can't complain too much.

+1

Unscrew the flash hider

drive out the two taper pins in the FSB

Unscrew the delta ring

install new handguard and put everything back together.
