Dress Up For Men

I decided to see how the M5 RAS would look on Dottie.

Pretty good!

If Valentine wasn't my M16A4 clone that required it, I might be tempted to leave it on despite this adding 1.3 lb. to the mass; for a total of 9.9 lb.

This "let's swap the handguards for a picture" turned into an adventure.

The allen screw that holds the handguard cap on blocks the nose of the top half of the RAS from seating.  Plus, it didn't want to unscrew. 

The front sight base is not threaded.  They gave it some epoxy and hammered it into the gas tube hole.

Lazy.

I pried it out and took my pics.

It's not needed to hold the handguards in place, it just makes getting them on easier.
