Magpul Handguard and Rails for AR15 question

Postby boviki on Wed Feb 29, 2012 8:11 pm

So I have a middy Spikes with a Magpul handguard and an 11 slot Magpul rail section under the AVG2. I am planning to put a Harris bipod that I can remove whenever I want. For that purpose I ordered a QR sling stud adapter. Now to the question.
What are the options on rail sections to fill the Magpul mid length handguard 6 o'clock position back to back?
I posed this same question to Magpul technical support, but did not get a clear answer.
Thanks

Do you have the 11 slot rail on the handguard? When I measured the midlength handguard out I believe it was 8" so:

Size L5 (11 Slots), max overall length of 4.9". Mounting screw center-to-center of 3.2".

Size L4 (9 Slots), max overall length of 4.1". Mounting screw center-to-center of 2.4".

Size L3 (7 Slots), max overall length of 3.3". Mounting screw center-to-center of 1.6".

Size L2 (5 Slots), max overall length of 2.5". Mounting screw center-to-center of 1.2".

So you should be able to do your L5 with a L2 if the screw fits.... I figured two L4's may fit but have not tried yet...
