Title: New Look For "Frank". Parts Arrived & Installed That S. Florida Doesn't Sell.

Here's the AR-15 I built with a non-vented forearm, that got too hot after multiple mags.

Before:

After my post about the S. Florida dealers that SUCK in the accessory dept. I ordered the YHM Diamond Free Float Forearm Sat. and 3 rail inserts, as full panels add too much diameter for me, and look kinda cheap IMHO.

After:

Love the look, it certainly will vent the barrel faster, I have the option of "stuff" if I want...And the brown truck is fantastic.

Midway, once again.....Thumbs up.

Got to give a thumbs up to a growing NC family owned "Tac" shop where I picked up 3 rail inserts.

Great AK, AR, SKS, Moisin, and other accessory store. Fast shipping, tracking numbers via email, very reasonable pricing. :o

Can't wait to give it a test drive... 8)

Nine rails and three storage compartments on that gun.

Lookin' good.   I don't have anything I want to add to my forearm.  So I'm keepin' mine plain.
