I'm wanting a 16" forend for my AXSA with the 20 moa top rail and Arca bottom. I want the keyslot rail versus the Mlok. Is the AXSR rail compatible with the AXSA?

They both appear to have a two bolt attachment. My understanding is the AXSR is imperial and AX308 is metric so getting new screws shouldn't be to hard a problem as long as the rail fits and the top rail matches up height wise with the optics rail. They made a AXMC-LE rail that is metric that fits the AXs but is made of AI unobtainium. It looks just like an axsr rail.....maybe just threaded different.

Anybody tried using an AXSR rail on a AXSA with success?
 
Thanks for the reply. I got a response from AINA that stated the difference was the standard screws vs metric so sourcing new screws may just do it as long as they are close to the same size. The AXMC-LE rail dictates the optics rail has to be changed from the 30moa to a 20moa rail to match the 20moa forend rail. The top rail on the AXSR is 20moa so possibly matching the 20moa optic rail on the AXSA.

Did sourcing different screws allow you to properly mount it?
