Anyone ever swapped from Area 419 to RRS?
I hate the way this thing feels in my hand, and I think RRS has a cleaner/stronger solution to prevent slippage of a bipod. I was hoping to just bolt the new rail into the existing tee nuts, but it looks like RRS uses 1/4”-20 hardware and the Area 419 hardware is 10-32, which is quickly mentioned in one of their install videos.
I was also considering a shorter rail (RRS 240mm) to free up some space in front of the magwell so it’s even more comfortable to carry on a hunt. This isn’t a gamer gun and I’ve never had my bipod that far back. I guess I’ll have to find my old shorter action screw, as well, if this arcalock is coming off.
Kinda rambling post, but has anyone else made a similar swap? Any considerations I’m missing?
