I recently acquired a bare bones .50 Beowulf Entry upper.
First, it is a "Post-Ban" so the barrel doesn't haven any threading and I want to add a muzzle brake. I live on the southside of Indy -- does anyone know someone locally who can threat on my new muzzle brake?
Second, it has the regular carbine forend and I would like to upgrade to a rail or keypad or M-lok or something forend. The front gas block has a rail, but it doesn't appear to the same height as the top of the receiver. Will this affect the flip ups lining up? I know little about this.
Also, I understand the oversized infrastructure of the .50 Beowulf makes attaching some aftermarket systems (like the Magpul forend's add-on rails) an issue. as well as permitting a flip up sight on the gas block from laying flat. Does that make any sense? Does anyone have any experience with the .50 Beowulf entry and what I should look for?
How difficult would it be to remove the rail on the front block and just add a free float forend?
Thanks for the help in advance!
