The Oppressor Universal will not tuck into the Gridlok. It can be used if you have enough clearance between the barrels threads and the front of the handguard.

If I have a 7.5 barrel will the 8” hand guard be an issue?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on January 06, 2023

As long as you can fit your muzzle device withing the handguard you should not have any issues. The internal diameter is 1.57" so use a muzzle device/blast can that does not exceed 1.57" in outside diameter.

Well if you want the muzzle of the barrel flush with the 8.5" Strike Industries GridLok Handguard Complete Assembly you will need an 8.5" barrel. If you want the the barrel threads to protrude past the end of the Strike Industries GridLok Handguard Complete Assembly that will depend on what barrel you use. However, must barrels that are threaded have a threaded portion that is .600"-1".
