So I went to my local gun store to buy ammo and not only did I buy ammo, but I ended up purchasing another parts for another upper.
Parts list that I purchased:
Black Hole Weaponry 16" barrel w/ 1x8" twist
Spikes Upper receiver
Troy TRX extreme battlerail Viking Tactical model 13"
Magpul BUIS gen 2
Battlecomp 1.0
YHM clamp style low pro gas block
Carbine length gas tube
So I get home and put the thing together. Scavenge some extra parts to complete the upper. I attach a rail to the bottom of the handguard and put on the AFG2. I just didnt like the way it felt in my hand and I also didnt like the way it looked. I take the rail off and grip the handguard and turns out i like the way it felt. So I start searching for a flush mounted hand stop but could not find one. Then I started to look for a low profile rail. I didnt want to purchase an expensive low profile rail mount to find out it wouldnt work. So I decided to try to modify my AFG2 so that I can use the original backing plate and flush mount the AFG to the handguard. My first attempt failed drilling holes for the shorter backing plate. So I attempted it again using the longer backing plate and this is how it turned out. I will have to clean it up a bit and paint it, but I generally like how it turned out. And it feels a lot better. I'll have to see how it holds up while shooting.
