I'm planning to shed some weight from my rifle and I'm dumping the Surefire quad rail and going back to standard M4 handguards. The only problem with this is that I need to be able to mount a Surefire Scout Light on the handguards and I can't have the light forward of the muzzle, it's a 10.5 SBR. I would like to attach a rail section to the 4:00 or 5:00 position on the handguards which will require drilling through them. The problem I have with using any old generic rail section is that they won't lay flush due to the ribs on the handguards.
Does anyone know of an available rail section which is cut on the backside to clear the ribs and still lay flush?
I'd be open to other options as well but I'd prefer a metal rail section and I'm trying to save weight so I don't want anything heavy going back on.
TIA
