Starquestjoe 3 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I looked on there site and could not find it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tankin 1 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Top right hand side on the product page. Says it won't work with the XN model unless you cut your own operating rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jharrison 2 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 It is there. Top right corner of page 1 of their products. Looks pretty nice, but I am wanting a metal forearm I think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starquestjoe 3 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 My bad I was looking at gun heavens site not the Salem 6 site itself Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Haycock 9 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) I like the looks of this handguard and a good price too. i wonder how sturdy it is. if i didnt have a FB and didnt want a forward charging handle i would be all over one of these. i might need to buy another MKA to try one of these out... i like all their products, i wish they had their stock adapter when i bought mine. they need to get to work on their charging handle and breaching brake cus those would look good on my gun.

SHOTGUN MESIAH 855 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Top right hand side on the product page. Says it won't work with the XN model unless you cut your own operating rod. Thats the deal breaker for me. on the plus side they do say they will have one available in April, but these guys seem to take forever to put a product out. I usually loose interest by then.

12elentless 1 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Yeah I like that one but I have an xn.. All I can find is the t&n one for $250. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anubis 38 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Firebird's short handguard/HEOS works with the XN model as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jharrison 2 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Anubis, I know the FB short makes it a 2 3/4 shell only by blocking the high pressure. Does this affect reliability in any way? Good or bad? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
duggr 13 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I had to return My long Firebird Handguard to the place i purchased it from....They will send me the XN version when they get it in....One thought after checking out the Firebird HG is that it's a beautiful work of art and built Very Very Well......It has the best look to me of all the other's offered out there as of this time....but thats my personal opinion. I also like the Anodized finished color they use as well... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toothandnail 275 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Yeah I like that one but I have an xn.. All I can find is the t&n one for $250. Our XN forends start at $120. Price goes up from there depending on the rail options you want. $250 would be the level 5 full quad rail. You can shoot 2.75" or 3" with no problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good or bad? I feel that it vastly improves the reliability of the gun, but yes it's 2 3/4 inch, 2 3/4-3 dram, or low recoil buck/slugs only. Shooting higher power loads will quickly damage the gun.

Starquestjoe 3 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I'm goin to be ordering a T&N level10 XN full length. But I'm unsure on what rails to buy. I want full length rails top an bottom and one on each side Quote Link to post Share on other sites
