    It looks like the clamp on won't fit. SLR says on Arf that the set screw one will.

    The interference is supposedly about .02" on the bottom of the block. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_124/6...age=8#i6406610

        You just ate up hours of my life.LOL I'm shopping rails too, and after reading the first 32 pages of this thread on Arf: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_12/61...ge=32#i6389588 Some of the owners are starting to complain. It's hard to judge without owning one myself though. I wish the CMR mounted up like the BCM key mod rail does. That one looks stouter in how it mounts. I prefer the looks of the CMR better though.

        I think I'm going to pass on the CMR for now. It looks very sweet, but I don't think it's going to work for me. I wanted their 12" rail, but it's really 12.56" long, and would interfere with my intended 12.5" build. I also don't like their barrel nut, and the way the handguard mates up to it.

        If you do go with the CMR, I hope it works out well for you, and post pics!

        Back to the dang drawing board for me....

        Here's a Stickman pic of a 12.5" barrel with the 12" CMR mounted. The dang 12" rail is longer than the 12.5" barrel, and I'd never get a can on it. I might be able to shorten one maybe? I dunno....

          I have nothing to offer in the way of the OP but I do need to say thanks for posting this. I had never heard of SLR before now and have been looking for an adjustable detent type gas block for some time with no luck. I just got my stamp for my TB can and ordered this SLR clamp on block. Will be sure to let y'all know how it works out.
