I figured out how the rail should sit on the gun in any case but i still can't put the rail on because of some blocks sticking out of the side of the bottom of the barrel assembly: http://mach1airsoft.com/product/a3-f...er-barrel-set/(click on the pic to see what I mean) they were used for the standard delta ring.
if those weren't there the rail would fit perfectly and the top rail would even perfectly line up with the carry handle rail.
I don't like the idea of grinding anything down or chopping anything so i think i might just sell the Gun and get something that's more TM compatible. |
With this RIS, the delta-ring is not used/useful.. put into your junk drawer.
Grind those tabs off.. they need to come off if the rail is to be used. I forgot about this step, as my ICS got a new 10.3" barrel at about the same time that i did my Madbull Noveske 7" with a slip-ring/barrel nut, and my other ICS was done with a G&P delta ring/daniel defense Omega combo a while back. As you now realize, those tabs on the barrel base are meant for the ICS specific delta-ring. Once you start the process with an ICS, there is no going back.. No use for the delta-ring, no use for the tabs.
As for selling a clearsoft/cansoft ICS sportline, i'm afraid there isn't much of a market for them.. might as well just have at it...
Edit: If the slip-ring actually is the same threading as your receiver threading, you may have lucked out - considering that it's *rumoured* that the earlier ICS's had metric threading, but switched over to Real Steel imperial threading in later production runs.. there is a few threads buried on the forum here, about that. I thought mine was one of them initially.. but it was brute-forced on, not actually a clean fit, in retrospect.
