Arca rail handguards

Hope it's okay to chime in, just thought i'd point out that if you want a handguard with flat sides and bottom that has the arca rail integrared into the bottom, you might want to give our (Catalyst Arms) Fast Track a look. Because the rail is integrated it runs the full length which is nice. The products being referenced above are great stuff as well though. Definitely a buyer's market! (y)

You should make one of those that’s fits this Seekins upper:

Can't say enough about how I'm loving the Fast Track from Catalyst Arms. Solid, comfortable for off hand shooting.

Digging up an old thread here. I had the sawtooth rail for the seekins on my SP10 but I found when mounted to a tripod by the receiver there was a lot of flex in the system. I assume a combination of thickness of the rail and the lack of a screw at that end due to the barrel but location play a role. Has anyone else noticed this?
 
I have a 6.5 Seekins SP-10 and I have the sawtooth rail. I haven't mounted it to a tripod at the very front of the rail but I have my Harris 25s bipod attached to it. I don't see any flex when I twist it left and right. You are correct that the screw is about 1in from the end on the front side. I also don't think I'd attach a tripod to the rifle rail at the very front. I'd attach the rifle at the natural balance point for more stability. Just a thought. That may solve your problem.

Thank you for the input. We might be talking about two different mounting points. I mount the tripod as close to the magazine well as I can. This is where I'm getting the flex as well. Even at that I'm not balanced on my rifle. If you're talking about the same thing, I'm guessing you have a longer barrel. My .308 is an 18" and my 6.5 Creed is only 20". Plus I put the Magpul stock on it so there's a little more weight in the rear.

Wish this rail and the seekins rail would drink too much and make bad decisions together.

Sgt of Arms is the only Aero Enhanced compatible handguard I know of, that said I've never used one, no idea if they are any good.
