Best placement for barricade support on rail?

AR/M4 AR General Discussion
1

I have the new Noveske K9 coming in the mail and have been thinking about where on my rail I want it. I have a 13.5’’ rail with barrel/comp at 16’’ OAL.

I’ve done a bunch of searches and haven’t come up with much except for some very hard to see examples of the NST running courses.

I’m thinking just slightly set back off the front of the rail on the right side (as a right handed shooter my left arm can be used to hold forend between thumb and index finger, like I’m holding my hand up to say “halt” and the K9 can grip on the right side if needed).

Anyone have any experience with this?

:confused:

What the hell is that thing?

It attaches to your rail and is used as a stop to grip barricades at funny angles and provide solid shooting platform. Also has a sweet built in QD swivel mount :laugh:

Not quite a fork. Not quite a spoon.

TacSpork.

I need one!

Order now and get a second TacSpork FREE! Just pay shipping and handling.

OP, you’ll probably just have to play around with it till you find what works for you.

I believe I see most of these devices mounted at 6 o’clock. Maybe to accommodate right and left hand shooting equally. I would think that at six you could tilt around barricades and catch the outside edge of the TacSpork on either side of the barricade when switching shoulders.

As stated above, I would play with it and see what works best for you.

This is helpful, thanks.

You bet.

I am sure someone else will come along with better info…

ETA: You know what? It looks like you should get two, one for each side. I didn’t know it was that small.

I prefer barricade stops on the right side of the gun, as I am primarily a right handed AR shooter. Right side placement permits shooting from the left side of a barricade without needing to transition hands for barricade support.
I generally place them about an inch short of the end of the rail to help ensure that there is no barrel contact with the barricade.

And all this time I have been just wedging my hand between the magwell and the barricade. Neat gadget and you can comb your hair with it later.

That is exactly what I was thinking, thanks for the input.

perpetrator sticker???

:rolleyes:

I use a pool que type grip whenever possible, or I can use the bayonet lug.

Most every ‘barricade’ at a match is something hastily put together, usually something zip-tied to Tee posts or a shaky VTAC wall type of thing.

I can see how that would be handy but you can use front of the rail.

18

support index finger and thumb, like a pool cue grip?

OP, that gadget looks scary, i might hurt myself with thing sticking out :stuck_out_tongue:

In before Carolyn McCarthy calls it a sideways mounted bayonet.

Looks like something that will make its way to the bottom of the parts bin in short order…:stuck_out_tongue:
