That’s too bad. Really wish they would make a C4-like fore end for those of us with an existing W3 chassis.It’s all one piece I didn’t realize at first , it’s not just a forend
That’s a bummer, regardless would be cool to see them come out with that at shot.It’s all one piece I didn’t realize at first , it’s not just a forend
Couple days more and we will see what they have up their sleeveThat’s a bummer, regardless would be cool to see them come out with that at shot.
What's your barrel contour here?Yeah my backyard is looking like shit right nowView attachment 7085531
Can you confirm if the magwell on the W3-Pro is aluminum and integrated into the forend, or if it is a separate polymer piece.Got it all put together today and shot alittle, liking it so far
The "PRO" website says its mag well is (at least partially) polymerCan you confirm if the magwell on the W3-Pro is aluminum and integrated into the forend, or if it is a separate polymer piece.
- Large polymer mag well surround can be adjusted fore & aft for better mag fitment.
- W3 Pro has monolithic aluminum backbone/forend with poly mag well screwed on.
- W3 Pro mag well is much more robust than the standard W3 Gen 7.

Weird. With the new forend, they seem to have gotten rid of the supremely comfortable design for the hand that their Arca aluminum forend has.Front end and the shroud now available.

That’s so you can add the external weights for an additional cost, “it’s a feature.”Weird. With the new forend, they seem to have gotten rid of the supremely comfortable design for the hand that their Arca aluminum forend has.
With the latter, the way it flares out eliminates the Arca bit from cutting into your hand.

Any recommendations on a shop that can modify for a hanger? I have an W3 Pro arriving Monday.
Agreed. What you should actually use is one of these.You animal!![]()
Air tools are usually cooler to use. Like, not temp-wise, more like “just cooooollll brah”Agreed. What you should actually use is one of these.

Used black nail polish to cover it up.
Even fancier version tool (the buy once cry once) is a Nakanishi im-301 with a ih300 head. Pneumatic. Cost is crazy but amazing to use. Have one at work.

True for the 1/4 die grinders. I can occasionally run mine for a few minutes off my 30 gallon craftsman.Air tools are usually cooler to use. Like, not temp-wise, more like “just cooooollll brah”
Too bad you need a huge, 240v, and well-made compressor to really use them to their potential.
I was going to buy said compressor and upgrade my garage power but then the battery-powered tools started working better and getting smaller.
I just bought a little Milwaukee battery-powered right angle die grinder. Haven’t used it yet.

Can you confirm what material the mag well piece is made of, and whether it is removable or not? If it's polymer and removable, there's hope for an aluminum or other future options for swapping out the mag well then. Thanks in advance!Little disappointed with the bridge on the new Pro forend. The pic rail puts it all way higher than previously for clip on use. It's so high in fact i needed to shave the rail down a little to get the bell to clear. Rings are 1.5" for reference.
The new Pro forend is great otherwise. It's exactly what the W3 has been needing. But I'll wait for a bridge with built in pic rail thats lower before switching the rest of my W3s out.
It's polymer and removable. Id prefer one without the silly barricade stop in the future myself as it just looks funky and I don't shoot PRS any longer.Can you confirm what material the mag well piece is made of, and whether it is removable or not?
