QD ARCA Rail, is it a thing?

    I’ve got a Foundation Centurion with the integrated Anschutz rail.
    I recently picked up a tripod with an RRS leveling base which uses an ARCA clamp to attach to rifles, rails, optics, whatever.
    The Centurion has a rather wide forend on it which allows the rifle to be more stable while shooting from a bag.
    So, adding a full length ARCA would diminish the returns on the wide forend.
    Is there a company out there that makes QD hardware to easily add or remove the ARCA rail from the Anschutz rail?
    I don’t know if this is possible to the limited amount of clearance from rail to rail but figured I would ask.
    Thanks.
     
    There is a product, no idea who makes it, personally I think it’s goofy as hell but I get the point of it with Foundations.

    I’m pretty sure it’s a real thing, I’ve seen multiple pictures of multiple different rifles with it. Maybe if you reach out to Austin Orgain or the JTAC guys you can get the details.
     
    I also have a foundation centurion. I have the same thought about leaving the wide fore end open and alone. I ended up running a 12” arca rail in the fron half where I use my bipod and it hangs about 2” off the front end. But the whole rear section of fore end is open where it would sit on a bag. That goofy looking gold thing may be a unique looking but functional solution to the problem
