I'll be blunt too. The piece closest to my fingers removed my aimpoint from my weapon. While its not a precision rifle, if I had been carrying my M24 it would have done the same. Unfortunatly, they put me on a streatcher so I could provide security incase of an attack from hadji paratroopers. I didn't see any, but if I had, you bet your ass I would have used my Buis which was already deployed. Airborne ops and fast roping can both take their toll on optics, as can falling through the roof of a building during a rooftop foot pursuit. IED's fit in there somewhere.

I'm liking the newer design with the QD sockets.

It was my pleasure, thanks for providing the tax dollars that allowed me to.
For the record, my intention wasn't to draw attention or cause catastrophic derailment of the thread, just to prove a point.

George,

This design is much, much improved. Thank you. I would still like a 20 MOA cant.

shane45 · Aug 21, 2013

Im NOT a fan of built in cant, id much rather handle it with the scope mount.

A10XRIFLE · Aug 22, 2013

Need a Vote #1, #2, #3 variation is in the slots in the top

#1

#2

#3

J Mack · Aug 22, 2013

I like the angle of the slots in three the best.
Is that a new GAP adjustable gasblock under the handguard?

My vote is for variation #2. Looking forward to seeing the final product. Meanwhile I will enjoy shooting my GAP-10 that Luke "Marlboro Man" Cirricione of your shop built for me last year. Thanks again for the great work on my rifle.
Brian

GunGasm · Aug 22, 2013

agree, #3 too

Eat_Beef · Aug 22, 2013

I vote #3.

I'm also a fan of a 20 MOA cant and I LOVE the sling swivel sockets.

Is there any way to estimate the weight of the new rail, or if it will be heavier or lighter than the old one? I'm guessing heavier because it has less holes?

O_W · Aug 22, 2013

#3 is my vote

ORD · Aug 22, 2013

#3!

And George...I may have missed it earlier in the thread and if so I apologize, but will you by chance be selling this new model as a "retrofit" or "part" for older POF P-308 rifles? Just curious because I still have an older 20" that I'd like to swap to this new design if it will work.

innerx · Aug 22, 2013

I like #3, thanks for letting us give input.

netranger6 · Aug 22, 2013

#3 all day.

shane45 · Aug 22, 2013

I like the look of 1 but Im wondering if the slant of 3 actually makes the slots longer creating more venting?

Engine 22 · Aug 22, 2013

Another vote for #3.

Sean the Nailer · Aug 22, 2013

fwiw, #3 has a 'look', sure. But more importantly, is there any kind of quantifiable 'performance' difference between the three selections? That should be the deciding factor, no? Or is "style" vis-a-vis "matching shoes" becoming more important?

Keep up the good work George, and make what WORKS.

rubicon_unlimited · Aug 22, 2013

#3 is a winner!

Suasponte175 · Aug 22, 2013

I like the look of #3 as well

PatrickChewing · Aug 22, 2013

3 for me!

If I ordered my GAP10 in Feb will mine get the old or new hand guard?

Deisel · Aug 22, 2013

I also vote for #3. I ordered a GAP-10 a couple of months ago so I am guessing it will come with the new hand guard.

JasonB · Aug 22, 2013

3 is solid

Why1504 · Aug 22, 2013

I vote for #3

Captain Kirk · Aug 22, 2013

I like the angled slots as well.

#3 removes more material = lighter weight plus looks aesthetically pleasing.

gol1 · Aug 22, 2013

Hi
I hope it's not too late, I like design # 3 but I would like it better if you shortened the top rear Picatinny slots by about 7-9 slots and add the slots to the top forward picatinny, reason is I have seen some very long and heavy clip-on sights designed and produced these days and you must have the ability for some play with the mounting distance between the scope's objective lense and the clip-on device.
hope this helps, good luck I licke the brainstorming here

WTW · Aug 22, 2013

I really cannot tell a difference between #2 or #3. I think either of them look better than #1

Steelhead · Aug 22, 2013

I like #3 also!

paincave_2000 · Aug 22, 2013

I like #3 as well.

Snakeyez · Aug 22, 2013

Im a early Feb order here too, I vote #3 if it even matters for the Feb orders.. I will be happy any way it comes, especially if its coming soon!

vincent317 · Aug 22, 2013

I vote for #3. Pretty sure my GAP-10 will come with the new rail. Just ordered it today

Raptorx · Aug 22, 2013

I vote for #2 The dog leg slots do not appeal to me.

Wyfox · Aug 22, 2013

#3 does it for me

elfster1234 · Aug 22, 2013

if 3 is less weight, then 3 it is

I'm with ya. #2 or #3 here. I don't see a difference but I'm a few beers in...

Sean the Nailer · Aug 24, 2013

the differences between #2 and #3 appear to be ~30° angle on #2 and ~45° angle on #3. If I'm missing anything, sing out.

#2:

Phezzik · Aug 24, 2013

Add #3 for me as well.

VKC · Aug 24, 2013

I like #3 as well from my original post on page 1, the angled slots look better and should save a little even if minimal difference in weight.

flounderv2 · Aug 24, 2013

#3 for me.

White_Shark · Aug 24, 2013

I vote #3 though I expect my Jan 4th order will come with the old style, still happy with that though.

R.Walters · Aug 24, 2013

Number 3 for me too!

HardCorpsHunter · Aug 24, 2013

Love the improvement...#3 here too!

A10XRIFLE · Aug 26, 2013

#3 it is, here are the final Drawings in Solid Works, I will now get one Made as a prototype and make sure everything works and looks right then run production on them.

Thanks for all the help.

for those asking , I opted to not even think of the 20MOA cant in the rail as a lot of guys are using AR scopes that this will not zero with their optic. Running them flat gives guys more options.

A10XRIFLE · Aug 26, 2013

strike33 · Aug 26, 2013

that definitely looks nice. Very functional, digging the textured bottom

A10XRIFLE · Aug 26, 2013

elfster1234 · Aug 26, 2013

100% agree, run the 20moa cant in the scope mount.... like you said, more options
