@Nordic Marksman, is it possible to get your hand on a set of black hand guards?
Or as you call them the black doors??
I got the FDE doors already but would love a pair of black one

Nordic there wouldn't be an issue installing a 11.5 carbine length barrel on these uppers?

I highly doubt it would be a problem. The gas block is even outside the IUR, so you don’t have to worry about fitting it inside

Nope. Personally i think that would look epic.

That's what i thought too, but being CC you never know so i figured it would be safer to ask first before dump money and parts into my idea.

Those 14.5 dutch c8s are carbine length so as long as you have carbine length gas you should be golden.

You are correct r34skyline.
The C8NLD is indeed with a 14.5 barrel and the C7NLD is with a 20 inch barrel

I installed an 11.6" of my own design/manufacture (carbine gas) and it is ridiculously awesome. These uppers, even with the 14.5" C8 barrel are fantastic.

Is there any spare black doors being sold as a pair?

 

[C8NLD lover]

If you can source the heat shields, i can see if i can print the black doors

 

[Aiden26]

how much would a 10" barrel protrude?

 

[Nordic Marksman]

Here you go

Is it me or is this upper missing the threads to mount the C7NLD front rail??.
Is this one specially for the Canadian market??

The C7NLD is a different upper. At least, they are a different part number from what I understand.

 

[C8NLD lover]

Then the Dutch army uses the C7 upper also for the C8.
The C8 i see here have the threads in the front of the rail like the C7

For those that are interested, i can get my hands on 3 sets tan doors, 3 original CAA stock in tan, 3 B&T front grip and 3 round mag release buttons.
