You can use this on a standard upper but you need the BAR nut which is OOS everywhere at the moment.

these with a full length Mlock Arca rail on bottom or a rail with one built in to it, like MTE Machining?

Maybe I'm not hip to this, but have you done transitions and movement work holding a handguard with full length arca rail? I don't quite get it, digs into my hand, this enhanced hg is chonky enough - sure it's great for bench work if that's your only need but why not just attach a 4" arca mlok mount where you want it? I don't need 15" of arca to center balance my rifle, but maybe I'm missing something?

I have not done this and you make a great point I haven't considered. I do have a precision rimfire rifle with full length Arca, and do some barricade work with it where its common to adjust bipod position on the fly and full length rails make that a lot easier. But maybe that will be different with an SPR type upper, where movement and transitions will be more common. There are 2 places that get used way more on the rail- out at the muzzle end for most bipod usage, and rearward toward the magwell for balancing in a tripod or locking into a barricade. Maybe I could get away with 2 sections of rail, 1 out front and one close to the rear.
Thanks for the insight, I'll explore this more for sure.

Hey appreciate the reply, learning PRS stuff myself as I do a bit in PCSL rifle and 2-gun so that's where I'm coming from moreso than carrying bags and bipods. Cheers
p8ntslinger@reddit
for sure, enjoy the journey and happy shooting!

For PRS it’s very nice having 15-18” of Arca real estate for your bag plate and bipod placement. Otherwise not super useful
Fun_truckk@reddit
Are people really shooting PRS with gassers?
clicktoseemyfetishes@reddit
In gas gun division, usually lol. There’s PRS-adjacent orgs like Guardian that are gas gun focused as well (basically PRS but you keep shooting if you miss)
DowntownFisherman@reddit
I need a shorter one for my 11.5"
Psychological-Drive4@reddit
Not with a 6” can
DowntownFisherman@reddit
True. Maybe a 4" can and it'll be an uncircumcised rifle.
Psychological-Drive4@reddit
Ain’t too many 4” 5.56 cans, but you are correct sir
WillStrip4Schmeckles@reddit
Dang, been shopping for a 15" deal but I would need the BAR nut for this.

$100 after shipping and tax is a tough sell for me.
I_am_Axel@reddit
I don't know of anyone else making one right now.
FearsomeCubedWarrior@reddit
Good luck finding BAR nut if you’re planing to put it on regular threaded upper
I_am_Axel@reddit
MTE makes a steel one.
JPatrickBateman@reddit
Didn't someone just have the enhanced uppers for sale?
AvatarWest45@reddit
Dirtybird for backorder which is already sold out
AvatarWest45@reddit
Hmm.. had this back ordered for $90 from the previous sale…
