There is no hand guard that is lighter, that’s for certain!

RC tried to fix the spacing on your post.... Thanks for the insight.


Dont' need much by way of rails other than a rail on the bottom and maybe the ability to add on at the 3 or 9 position for a light..... don't believe I'll need full length or anything.

Looks like the ATLAS has a few rails right at the end.

7 ounces, wow.  I might have some concerns on durability and stuff getting caught in all that carbon webbing.

Just wrap some Saran Wrap around it and you can have no worries.

upper and lower arrived over the weekend, LPK from Aero arrived yesterday.... they don't include the 4-40 set screw for the spring and detent for the safety selector..... WTH?  Other than that like the upper and lower allot, the screw in pins for the forward assist and bolt catch are nice to keep from having to use a pin........ fit is nice, finish is nice.   There is a tensioning screw to help with lockup between lower and upper but its under the pistol grip and would have to be removed to adjust, guess once you set it you could Loctite it but after a while the polymer tip will settle and i'm sure need to be turned more.....

Uh-huh, that's what I want: a $400 rail system that requires duct tape and baling wire to do what I need.

They do look cool, and are super light weight.

I am betting you got shorted.  The kit shows those parts with it on their picture.  I bet if you call them up they will send replacements.

Looking more the 4-40 set screw is for the rear take down pin and is not in that picture.  Should come with the lower i bet though.

I thought that as well ST.... the box that the lower came in stated on the box that it used a 4-40 set screw then a couple lines down said it used the screw for the bolt catch (Included) was beside it.... I don't think they include the 4-40.... I am calling though. just haven't had the time.

The answer is no, they do not supply that set screw with lowers or LPK's from them even though they drill and tap their lowers for it? And they don't sell that set screw either.......  WTH Aero Precision

Thanks Graham.  I have a bunch of stuff like that left over from Grandpa's stash.  Now that I see a pick of them I will see what he has.  If not I will hit you up.
