Arca rail handguards

[deersniper]

Hope it's okay to chime in, just thought i'd point out that if you want a handguard with flat sides and bottom that has the arca rail integrared into the bottom, you might want to give our (Catalyst Arms) Fast Track a look. Because the rail is integrated it runs the full length which is nice. The products being referenced above are great stuff as well though. Definitely a buyer's market!

It would be nice if we could, but it would be tough to make that pencil out with such a specific application. Seekins definitely makes great stuff...one of our 3 gun rifles is a set of their receivers!

It would be worth it. Seekins has their dumb proprietary set up. You would corner the market

Sgt of Arms makes a 17" large frame handguard with integrated Arca.

Can't say enough about how I'm loving the Fast Track from Catalyst Arms. Solid, comfortable for off hand shooting.

What tripod and ball attachment are you sporting there? Nice...

Digging up an old thread here. I had the sawtooth rail for the seekins on my SP10 but I found when mounted to a tripod by the receiver there was a lot of flex in the system. I assume a combination of thickness of the rail and the lack of a screw at that end due to the barrel but location play a role. Has anyone else noticed this?

I have a 6.5 Seekins SP-10 and I have the sawtooth rail. I haven't mounted it to a tripod at the very front of the rail but I have my Harris 25s bipod attached to it. I don't see any flex when I twist it left and right. You are correct that the screw is about 1in from the end on the front side. I also don't think I'd attach a tripod to the rifle rail at the very front. I'd attach the rifle at the natural balance point for more stability. Just a thought. That may solve your problem.

Thank you for the input. We might be talking about two different mounting points. I mount the tripod as close to the magazine well as I can. This is where I'm getting the flex as well. Even at that I'm not balanced on my rifle. If you're talking about the same thing, I'm guessing you have a longer barrel. My .308 is an 18" and my 6.5 Creed is only 20". Plus I put the Magpul stock on it so there's a little more weight in the rear.

Wish this rail and the seekins rail would drink too much and make bad decisions together.

Agree.

Can you flip the rail on the bottom? I feel like I swapped the ends.

I’ll look into that.

It’s already been said, but I can add a +1 to Area 419. They make some cool Arca stuff. I just ordered a 14” Arca bolt on rail for my Manners PRS1

 

[SP1123]

Sgtofarms.com has them and at a good price.

 

[SP1123]

Ar10 and ar15s

 

[deersniper]

Damn, figures I bought an SP3R too early. I messaged them several months ago and they didn't hint at anything coming down the pipe.

SO much for that

 

[Sharkbait]

Sgt of arms also make a Arca rail for the ar10’s and 15’s. Both will reach out to 17 and rail is full length on the bottom
