SG552 Tactical Handguard

[imagine_74714]

Just a quick question.
Is the factory option tactical handguard for SG552 as same as B&T aftermarket one? In terms of quality and pricing, how does it differ, if at all?

It appears that the Swiss Arms handguard is made by B&T.

Well at least that is how it looks to my untrained eye The Swiss Arms handguard from TSE is less money than the B&T model from Wolverine Supplies by a $150 or so.

I bought the SwissArms factory model for my CQB as I was told that the B&T model actually failed testing by SwissArms and that is why they made their own even though they do buy a number of other items from B&T... B&T is more money and falls apart... Pretty easy decision.

None

Is there a handguard with the "rail" system available? I thought that the BT handguard didn't work on the PE90?

Its not important. The thing is meant as a room broom, not a target rifle.

That said, I'm sure they shoot really, really well.....even the CQB's.....they're just made so well.

TSE has them for the CQB and Carbine but not the green/black special etc. I would buy one in a heartbeat

It doesn't make sense that there is no Rail Handguard available for SG550. It would be a great addition to what is already a great rifle.

No armies that use rails systems use the 550...

Most active armies that use rails have also gone to carbines.

 

[imagine_74714]

Well...ok.... But I can sure use one, though.

Someone at TSE put the carbine rail on a black special once, kind of jerry-rigged it into a FF. I held it once, it looked a little funny but really wasn't that bad.

Does someone have a pic?

 

[KevinB]

IIRC Redleg did it -- and I think someone posted that an ARMS rifle length SIR (#59 IIRC) will work affixed to the flattop of a BlackSpecial Target

Now that is sweet..... damn... i feel that urge again.....my wallet just had a heart attack.....how mutch are those black specials again?

 

[PaveHammer]

Wow. That's.. uh... great?

Not exactly a preferrable method by any stretch of the imagination.

 

[imagine_74714]

If you can do that, and there is no slack or reliability issue, then I outta get someone to do that for me. Wonder how much it would cost to custom fit that?

 

[imagine_74714]

Is there any company that makes 18.5" barrel for Black Special?

I would charge about 150

You could just buy the small screw on rails for the factory CQB handguards, the bottom one works very well for a foregrip as do the side ones for a light/laser and are lighter.
