Specna 1 series (not edge) handguards

[RonLancs]

Hi all, gonna buy a specna B01 and turn it into an “Iraq spec” m4a1… Just wondering if anyone knows of any compatibility issues with after market handguards? I suspect barrel nuts will be different etc. Any advice welcome. 
 

Cheers,

depends on the handguard, as it uses a standard delta ring there shouldn't be any problem aas long as it uses the same

 

just may need to shim the outer barrel if it doesn't quite sit properly

Aye, was also considering getting a ring printed or an adapter.

I'm sure a RAS with drop in if it's using a standard Delta Ring.

 

I would consider the RAS 2 - where there is a stabilising section of RIS that bridges the receiver and RAS Rail. Stops wobble which is quite common with this type of handguard.

You'll be fine. Standard delta ring. As long as you buy a half decent handguard you won't get wobble either so no need for the RAS 2.

You not reckon I’ll get away with a Alli special?

It will probably fit. I doubt it'll be a great fit, but it should mount nonetheless.

 

The RS KAC RAS has a 'claw' that clamps over the gas tube onto the delta ring, along with a sprung clip on the front of the rail that tucks under the front hand guard cap . Many cheapo rails do not have either of these.

 

 

Decent airsoft replicas do have these features. I had a Lonex gun which had a KAC RAS style rail that exactly mirrored the real steel and it was rock solid.

Honestly? I never had an issue with cheap drop in quad rails wobbling. At least, not so bad that it was bothering me. At least if you drop a fiver on an AliEx rail and it's shit, you haven't exactly lost much!

 

As @Speedbird_666 says though, a half decent one will have that little clamp bit that stops it wobbling.

Dang, a 5er? I’ve not seen these rails.

Good point actually, it's been a minute since I bought a quad rail! There's some on there for about £8 but even the £20 ish ones don't have the clamp part.
