Specna Arms SA-P26 PRIME

Hi I don’t know if I’m being so stupid and oblivious but what Handguard length is the Specna Arms SA-P26 PRIME.

12.5 inches according to patrol base

I really don't understand why some people are selling this as a MK18.

Isn’t it a M4A1 Block II?

Hey if you squint hard, squeeze some lemon juice in your eyes and just generally don't pay any attention it looks like it's got a 10.X" barrel instead of a 14.5.

Could I replace it with the Specna Arms KeyMod CNC Aluminium Free Float Handguard 12”?

Yeah, should only be a case of changing out the barrel nut with the one that comes with the new rail

No. The barrel is too short for a Block II and too long for a MK18.

Another thread, another derailment by people being pedantic and not helping answer the initial questions. AFUK is turning into Reddit v2 at this point

Sure can if you have the right tools to get off the DD forend and barrel nut then attach the Specna, they should be the same thread. It'd be a better idea to go with an M-LOK rail because that attachment system largely replaced KeyMod as the defacto gold standard about a decade ago now; much more accessories available and KeyMod accessory production will only ever decrease over time (will fizzle out entirely in not too long I'd wager). But then it depends what you want to attach.

No. The barrel is too short for a Block II and too long for a MK18.

So hard to tell from the pics of the Speca.. looks close to the right length and it'd be really weird for them to make specifically wrong and oddball 13.5" barrel when they'll already have a machine spitting out 14.5s for other guns constantly, but it doesn't look quite right either.. strange.

Weird indeed. Especially being littered with DD trades too.
