L119A2 Rails & Uppers on the horizon!

So for anyone not following the L119 Owners Club & Canadian Forces (Impression/Inspiration) Facebook pages, there are two options on the horizon for those wanting fairly accurate CANSOFCOM C8IUR (CQB) or L119A2 blasters.

HAO has shown some very exciting 3D images of a full IUR Upper designed for PTW and GBBR bodies. It sounds like HAO will start with the more common CQB length rail/upper that has been seen utilized by both CANSOFCOM & UKSF personnel. The only difference between the two is that the UKSF variant has the grenade launcher lug on the rear underside of the rail portion whereas the CANSOFCOM version was not ordered with that. CSOR & JTF2 impressionists may need to find a machinist to take that off for them as I do not believe it will be removable (as with the RS versions).

HAO's post on the L119 Owners Club FB page:

"The UKSF is here lads!
Of course PTW always lead the way.
*It's monolithic upper and only available in PTW/GBBR version.
(Well,only available in 10.5" version and still in develop)"

The other exciting news is from Angry Gun. They've decided to go a different route and design a separate free-float rail that will mount using a barrel nut. Purists may not like the idea of not having a perfect full IUR replica, but it does open things up for all kinds of other options. I understand they plan to have it compatible with as many different brands/systems as possible. The other fabulous part about the stand-alone rail is that they've designed it with a removable grenade lug as you'll see in the images! That means us CANSOFCOM nuts won't have to machine it off and in fact will have both C* & L119A2 options available!

Here's the post from Red Wolf UK (Angry Gun's UK distributor) about the rail on their FB page:

"An update on our L119A2 project with Angry Gun .
The prototype rail is currently in testing and is fitting really well. Some minor details to change for the production versions but here are some teasers."
