This will cause you problems even if your able to cut the Delta ring off. I've found many barrel nuts clocked off a little bit from the factory. But I would definitely try to do the best job possible installing it. You want picatinny "quadrail" or something like Keymod or M-Lok let's you put different lengths of rail sections where you like. If you want more than 7" of rail space then you will have to swap to a low profile gas block. I can dig around and recommend a few of those if you want? There's a few rails, I know Midwest Industries makes one and I have a Centurion Arms M4 quad rail that clamps over an existing standard barrel nut with delta ring/spring removed.

If you want to go free float, the barrel nut will have to be pulled. I'm sure there's someone on here that lives close enough to you that would be willing to help you do it on a weekend or something.

If your not comfortable taking the barrel nut loose to install a full "free float" rail, then check or ask around on here. I would give something like these a hard look before cutting the delta ring off. If you dig around on eBay or maybe post a WTB ad here or just watch for one they can be had for a decent price. My KAC M4 RAS is also one of the best drop ins I've used. I honestly am not sure of what I need to do, but I know I can figure it out with some help! Just wondering how far down the rabbit hole I will have to go with buying tools. Do you have to set the head space on an AR similar to the way you set it for a Ruger Precision Rifle? From looking at a couple of videos, it looks like I will need to install a new barrel nut to install a new forearm. I am a fairly handy person and can do the work myself if I have instructions. Does anybody make a spaces of some sort or sights for this application? I don't want to put a heavy forearm back on the gun - want it light as possible.ĭo I need to change the gas block to install a new forearm? The gas block is not level with the top of the upper, so my iron sights will not be even - I think I would need a new gas block if I want to install iron sights. I might also like to put some flip up iron sights on it as well. I would like to change the forearm on my DPMS Oracle, so I can attach a vertical grip to the front of it.
