RxArms Posted July 7, 2023 Author Share Posted July 7, 2023 9 minutes ago, Franklinexpress said: Can you maybe add a piece that closes that floating gap? As in 90 degrees piece down to touch the barrel so if the guard is pressed down it does move, I feel like that could strengthen and stabilize it. My only concern is that without it it will eventually wiggle in the front. There will always be movement with all the components up there (barrel, mag tube etc). It is very stiff, I’ve been testing with a 2 cell weapon light, and have had no issues with the front touching the barrel. it is 1/8” thick… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky! this particular receiver is an older gun from around 2013 or so I believe (still has the aluminum trigger assembly), I have a couple other M4s and to be honest I just shoot em and I haven't even looked at the colour of the receiver hue 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t looked at the mlok spacing, and I don’t have a 14” barrel to test out as that is illegal in Canada (14” barrel semi auto). chances are slim… however, it might be possible to hack off some front slots with a good aluminum cut off blade, and debur and then do a touch up annodizing kit on it. m4 barrel is 18.5 inch, so I guess the SBS would need a heat shield that is 4.5” less. Just measured and you’d lose the front 3 slots. maybe I’ll try to make a few during the production run and I’ll send one off to someone to test… I'd certainly be interested in a SBS version 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franklinexpress Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 What software do you use? I’m currently wanting to get a design of a SPAS-12 inspired forend with mlok slots on top. Like the image below minus the bump in the front: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogman Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) So to use this heat shield I could not retain the oem optic rail? Edited August 23, 2023 by Dogman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjk9928 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Odd request but I would be interested in one that stops at the front sling point, your mounting point to the tube, even if its a blem part modified shorter, just don't want to burn my support had when reloading doubles. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha 33 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I like the idea of a shorter version though. I guess that could be remedied with a hacksaw as stated earlier. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment IF, there was a way to add a short length of bottom rail for a forward pistol grip. My 2¢ Alpha33out.....

SuzukiGS750EZ Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I wish this was out before I bought my scalarworks RMR setup and Midwest industries hand guard. That would have been an awesome setup for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RxArms Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 Well it’s been 8 months since initially announcing this thing, had some design tweaks that were needed and I’m happy to say the new version performs excellent. Hoping to get these into production cycle within the next couple weeks, but these won’t be up to sell for a few months most likely. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RxArms Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 (edited) I’ve also designed an mlok offset match saver. This is a prototype, will be tweaking it still (mostly getting it tighter to the handguard, higher up, and maybe closer to the receiver).

m4prime Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Love to see the progress! How much weight is this expected to add to the gun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RxArms Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 (edited) It is around 7oz. The heatshield is heavy duty 1/8” thick aluminum, to withstand any kind of abuse you can throw at it. OEM handguard is 5oz if my memory serves me right, so total with OEM polymer handguard is 12oz. From the research I’ve conducted, mesa handguard is 0.08” thick, briley is 0.10” thick, our heatshield is 0.125” thick Edited March 7 by RxArms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the SBS is illegal in Canada so I don’t have a way to design it other than deducting the shorter barrel amount from the 18.5” version, and hoping it all works out. I am not in a position to do that kind of blind designing. But maybe in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A prototype of this piece is expensive, and the market of the SBS I am not sure how big it is compared the 18.5”. Probably a fraction of the market. But I’ll let you know when I’m ready and I’ll contact you. Need to get the first version out before I even consider this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
