Lower means lower receiver, basically the part under the upper receiver but above the pistol grip, here's a picture of what I'm talking about : http://soldiersystems.net/blog1/wp-c.../bhi_lower.jpg
Should be able to do that if you want to go rear wired but it really depends. The bonus of rear wire is that there's no PEQ battery box in the front so you get more "real estate" on your rail system for other things like vert grips, flashlights, etc. I personally have my gun wired to the front but that's because I have no place to put my battery in the rear seeing as how I have the standard simple M4 4-position rear stock. |
Yeah, I liked the 551 because it was so short. Do you have any idea what the differences are between the different versions? I couldn't seem to find much info online about them, or what I did find said they were all pretty much the same.
I want the rear-wiring because I want the option to use a vertical grip for CQB. It seems like I'm going to be spending around $300 for all these parts: $100 for the stock/battery and another $100 for the rail system and grip, then another $100 for the gearbox. I guess its still cheaper than buying a whole new gun...
