Flame Red Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Just got my Surefire M80 rail system for my M1014. It included the rail, some rubber 'ladders' and a tube of blue locktite. Nothing else - No install instructions! ARGH!!! Anyone have any advice on how to install it? I assume it just does not slip in like the original plastic ones else they would not have supplied loctite? Quote
d Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I would guess the loctite would be for the picatinny rails (if they are removable) Quote
Flame Red Posted August 20, 2007 Author Posted August 20, 2007 I just tried to put it together. No instructions are necessary (which I guess why none are given). You just remove the barrel and slip the unit over the gas tubes. The flexible stuff holds it on just fine. Then you slip it thru the mag tube and it holds in place. No screws, no need for locktite, even though they include it. Quote
woodcock Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 The loctite is supplied as a preventive measure to ensure that the retaining nuts and screws remain tight on the rail. Installation instructions are available from cs at Surefire, if so desired. Quote
kendal Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Would love to see some pics of the m80 installed. Thanks Quote

Flame Red Posted November 6, 2007 Author Posted November 6, 2007 I got mine from Optic's Planet. At the time, they had them in stock and offered immediate free delivery. It is a nice addition. I added a set of Brownell's locking rail covers and a folding forward grip. A light might be nice. Quote
