Edit - ARMS #41 Sight is SPF to the gentleman who posted below. Rail, wrench, QD swivel still available for sale for $175 shipped!
All sold!
I have an ARMS #41 folding front sight, and a Daniel Defense Omega X 12.0 FSP Rail that has been slightly modified to work with the ARMS folding front sight. Both pieces are in excellent shape, look nearly new. I wanted to have a 12" FF rail with the front sight post in place, like the Larry Vickers Signature Carbine from Daniel Defense - but I wanted a folding front. I started with a new ARMS #41, and cut off the sling swivel lug - no use inside a rail, anyway - sanded smooth and then re- blued the cut on the bottom. The ARMS #41 is slightly wider than a standard GI Front Sight Post, so I removed a couple millimeters of material on the inside of the FSP cutout with a flat jeweler’s file, so that the body of the sight cleared the cutout. I then re-anodized the cuts in the rail black, so that the material removal is invisible unless you know exactly where to look. Not a major modification, but necessary to use these two parts together. This combo will work on any barrel longer than 12" with a carbine gas tube. This is the perfect setup for putting an X200/X300 forward of the front sight post.
(Please note that the flecks on the rail in this photo are lint bits from being wrapped in a terrycloth, not scratches.)
Both of these are great parts, in very good to excellent condition with only minimal handling wear, and cost about $430 new, at the lowest prices I could find. Only selling because I am selling the 12" barrel for a shorter one. Mounted and installed, moved around in the safe for a few months but these parts were never fired on any rifle.
I’m asking $289 shipped, Priority mail, anywhere in the lower 48. Includes factory wrench, barrel nut, Allen Wrench, and FREE MI Q.D. Sling Swivel. I will consider reasonable offers, but I’m not planning to just give it away, as the parts are in great shape and represent some added labor.
Email me with any questions!
I have a Stickman photo of the same setup as mine , which is so much better than my photos that I’m including it here. NOT MY PHOTO, but this is how it looks.
Factory Product Specs:
[i]
The Daniel Defense Omega X Rail is a 2-piece, Free Floating AR-15 Handguard featuring an uninterrupted top rail platform and extremely durable construction comprised of CNC-Machined 6061-T6 Aircraft Grade Aluminum with a Type III Hard Coat Anodized Finish. The Omega X provides a rock solid quad rail platform that is ideal for attaching tactical accessories, yet it remains trim and lightweight, with an oval shape to feel like traditional handguards and maintain the lively, nimble handling characteristics that define the AR platform. The 12.0 FSP configuration features a cutout in the top rail to accommodate a carbine length gas system and fixed front sight base, while also providing a full length handguard for greater versatility. Comes complete with set of integral, ambidextrous, limited rotation QD sling swivel attachment points.
