Weights for KRG enclosed forend

[richie3888]

Trying to find exterior weights for my enclosed forend. I tried my grayopps but it didn’t sit flush due to the forend being round at the bottom. Does anybody know what weight would fit? I already have the internal weights.

I think KRG wants you to buy their internal T-slot weight, unfortunatley.

I bought that but I still need more weight up front. I’m thinking about buying stackable and just grinding the first set so it sits flush

The American Rifle Co. weights might work. They aren't as wide as most M-lok weights.

I’ll check them out. Thanks.

Snyders precision makes M-lok that might work

@richie3888 did you ever get weights on this?

No one makes it. I bought brass bars off of amazon and I will make my own.

PATIKIL 1/2 x 1/2 x 8" C360 Brass Square Bar, Solid Flat Mill​

I saw someone use this. Just drilled some holes for the Mlok.

I’ll post pictures and actual weight of the bars once I get them and install them.

Look at the MDT exterior weights.
You could buy 2 sets if need be

MDTs sit too low. There's not a lot of space between the m-lok and the swell outward

Looks horrible but I was finally able to balance this rifle. I’ll probably paint the brass bars

I made some brass weight for a hide member, he then made them dark, some sort of mixture, maybe ammonia or vinegar? It looked good.

Ill try and find it.

I’d take them off and round off every edge on those brass pieces as they are asking for hand issues. Lol looks like they will work great.

lol yeah that’s smart. I gotta figure out how to round out the edge.

Dremel should do it just fine but will take some time. A grinder should make short work of the soft metal.

cant find the original posts, but here is the before and after pics.

Google vinegar and salt brass patina.

Yours look fine as well! Good job!
Just round the edged somehow to save the skin.

A file cuts brass like butter, or a palm sander, belt sander, Dremel, etc,
