Looking to touch a Gemtech Halo - fitting w/ a BC2

[asmo]

I want to put a can over my BC2 on one of my SBRs - and that means I only have a couple of choices.

Does anyone have a Halo that you would let me touch for a few minutes? I want to see if I have enough clearance with my current rail. Don't need to shoot it - just want to try and attach it.

I will provide the beer if it helps.

(and yes I know about the AAC + BC frankenbrake - but no one has one)

If you want to drive up here it's a go. Don't need beverages, not a drinker.

Why don't you stop by Machine Gun Tours in Lakewood and try one on there?

Because they don't have any in stock.

I find it hard to believe i am the only one with a HALO. If it is clearance concerns how much do you need to slip the collar over?

Jim thank you for the offer - and I may need to take you up on it if no one has anything around here. Gemtech is WAY backed up right now - deliveries to dealers taking a few months.

Here is what I am trying to put it on.



From the tip of the BC to the beginning of the rail its 2.3 inches (according to my micrometer).

Or if the OD of the Halo is small enough (way doubtful) I could put it inside.

I see no issue running the halo on your gun as it sits. have you talked to GT about that f/hider?
The collar slips just behind the f/hider




Then tightens up on the hider and can.

I could limp out for my digital caliper if you need a better measurement.

I was at Jensens in Loveland yesterday and they have a Halo in the case. I know its a drive but if you are looking to purchase one they have one in stock there.
