XCR guys.....my Slick Clean shaved girl is back

[Jamie]

so.....being a guy that likes all his guns to feel as close as I can get them in hand I sent of My XCR to have the sides and bottom Rails milled off I hate all rail covers with a passion and with the rails on the XCR covered made the front feel way to fat

after Milled off I added grip tape and painted over it all! I run a light at 11 oclock of the top rail

it feels so good now!!!


thanks to Kevin who did this up for me

Wow, nice milling job, very slim! Silly question, does it seem to affect the weight/balance?

 

[Nbkev]

looks good and grippy now that its covered with tape. you should have polished it instead

 

[Stormchaser]

Very cool. Nice job!

no it feels the same just way way slimmer and points better

 

[ioncore]

[loki_81]

Well, it certainly looks modern, especially with all these new keymod rails coming out. Alex, are you there?

 

[Jamie]

the rails are over done.....I will drill and tap a rail section on "if" i need it I like clean simple set ups

never did it for weight savings

 

[DaveMachine]

That's pretty neat. I don't know if I'd have the balls to shave off the rails on my rifle though.

That said, it would be pretty cool if they (RA) milled some holes a 3 and 9 so that you could attach rail segments if you really needed them.

No way, then there'd be EVEN MORE things to Loctite


JK, I don't really like the Loctite jokes (I own an XCR). But I couldnt resist.

 

[Mauser GDog]

Nice, one of the few things I didn't like about the XCR, fixed!

 

[Jamie]

one thing this old Irish guy has is balls...lol I just did not see the need for rails....this is my truck gun now! and i have a 1/7 223 conversion coming too

 

[ricka2]

how many lbs is it now ?

 

[mildcustom2]

They XCR is definitely one fat chick and weighs a ton from the bolt forward. Removing that excess fat would sure go a long way to helping it feel more balanced. I just don't have the heart to remove my rails, I need them for the m203 launcher up front while I'm hunting. Deer burgers anyone?

Looks ###y but you should change your thread title to my slick clean shaven XCR

Jamie
Please take the light and optics off and throw her on a scale
I want to see if it's worth doing to my rig as well if it has significant weight savings

 

[Vigilant]

Nice job! I would do that my XCR just to lighten the front.

 

[Jamie]

I don't think it saved much weight but will try to weigh it

 

[mrsmitty]

I have been considering this as well but I would get key mod cuts put into the rail too if it is possible. Cut as much weight as possible.
