Just a heads-up - don't tighten those two pinch bolts too tight. Pay attention to the torque specs that they say to adhere to. If not... CRACK!

Love that Troy rail. I got that on one of mine. Extremely light, yet strong. The masking on the rail numbers must have taken quite some patience.

i love my rail. yea it took like 30 minutes to mask off but it looks awesome. never seen anyone with an od green troy rail. always see black and FDE. just wanted something different. overall i am very happy with my choices.

more updates to come

very close to being completed. very excited

Nice rifle. I'll be using the Troy TRX for my new .308 buils as well. I don't know if you're aware of this but Troy does make a lower profile version of that rail to fit your upper so that the rails on your forend and upper are perfectly flush. Probably doesn't matter since you're not using BUIS, but that would drive me nuts.

Welcome from Indiana brother cyclops.

took her out to the range on saturday and blew off about 100 rds. got her sighted in shooting sub moa-moa groups with some pmc 147 grain ammo. more than please. shot some steel reactive targets and now i'm hooked on those
