Standard to tactical conversion

[akitainu]

I've seen the posts on converting the standard to tactical via dremel. My question is can you buy, from FN, the parts (rail, barrel support brackets, etc) to accomplish this without permanent modification? If so, could I get the part numbers?

Thanks

I'm not sure I am following you. The tactical has the metal rail on the top. The standard is the one with the hood, optics, and plastic rail. Why would you want to go from a tactical to a standard? I would just put a nice optic on the tactical and it would be nicer than the standard....

I have the standard. That's my problem.

Ah, I see. I do not know if that can be done. You can try calling FN Parts and see if they even sell the parts to go from the Standard to the Tactical. Or else, you might just sell the Standard and buy a Tactical.

Doesn't sarge have a tactical upper for sale in the classifieds? If so then I'd just go that direction since assume that gets you everything you need.

It's not a cheap path to travel down buying from FNH Parts Dept. The alloy rail is $700.00 alone, BUT it does come with the case anti-return. The barrel support brackets are $200 (stripped). The sights (you'll need both front and rear assemblies) and they'll cost close to $300. Just to give you an idea. The rail is the killer and the support brackets are a close second...

You still want the part numbers, I can list them all.

The only other parts he would need would be the rear sight assembly, which isn't terrible on the wallet. Then it would be a simple swap of uppers back and forth.

Ouch. Thanks Sarge. I guess I'll stick with my home-brew rail riser set-up.

At least it would be cheaper buying his upper that is for sale. I think he has it listed for $800.

Oh, I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I had the money.
