Questions & Answers
Does this need a traditional buffer system (so buffer tube, spring, & weight)? Or is it bufferless so you could utilize a folding stock/brace with it? Expert Answer

What is the inside width of the handguard? What suppressor size will fit since the handguard is longer? Expert Answer

Foxtrot Mike does not provide the internal diameter of their handguards. I would recommend reaching out to them directly for more information.
