Great way to upgrade your rifle handguard to arca - Area 419 Arcalock 8 in Universal Flat Rail

I was looking to upgrade my MDT ESS chassis to ARCA. I have other Area 419 rails and accessories on other rifles and wanted to go with the ARCA Lock system that 419 offers. I have the 15” handguard with the NV hood. This rail attaches by M-lock, screw not included so make sure you have or remember to order. The rail fits almost perfectly with the available space. I have the rail lined up perfectly with the front end of the handguard and there was about an inch of space towards the back end of the handguard. I could have gone with a longer rail piece, but did not want the rail to protrude past the front of the handguard. When I bought this ARCA Lock rail it was cheaper at OpticsPlanet than on the Area 419 site directly!
