Feets / Collection / My build Makasi with brace.

Post image

Just some updates, I've posted before about different upgrades you can do with the Makasi using mine as a template. This upgrade, I took advantage of what's allowed in the U.S., installed an 11.5 inch barrel and a Haga Defense Brace with Tail Hook.

I like it, but it makes me want to turn it into a proper SBR so I can upgrade to the stock for the Haga.

where did you get the handguard from?

Handguard is a Midwest Industries drop in 2 piece for AR15s. Had to do some dremel work on the delta ring and handguard cap to fit it. Details are on the other reddit page I posted as a link.

Biggest thing with the handguard, the Makasi reciever is slightly taller than an AR15 reciever. Its close enough you won't notice it with the Gun profile, but if you use front and rear sights like Ive got set up, you need to buy an extra long front sight post for the front sight to offset the height difference between the handguard and reciever when aiming.

Having it be just a teeny bit taller seems like a big mistake on their part. Like if it was a lot taller because it had to be, so be it. Being just a teeny little bit out seems like a waste.
