I just picked up the new 16" Troy CQB upper. I 'm in the process of assembling a super lightweight carbine and I don't know of an upper that comes lighter than this. I chose to stick with 16" for the legal ease of traveling. Troy is going to make a 10" version as well for those that desire an even lighter, smaller package. Both will be available real soon on the Troy website.
Check out how small the rail is. You can really drive this gun. I have about 200 rds through it (including up close speed stuff) and have not noticed any more heat issues than a normal quad rail. I attribute this to the number of holes cut in it. I'll update more on heat later when I can use it for an entire class.

I love this! Rail only where you NEED/WANT it. It attaches with a really smart countersuck screw/back piece.
16" of Ni-Corr lined, hammer forged goodness in, of course...a 1/7 twist.
I'll be putting this on a special lower and using a special optic......stay tuned

Kyle, I have two just about identical to the one you have listed, one has a two inch shorter forend and the HK type front folder. One on an LMT lower and the other on a Noveske lower. Thinking obout trying the Noveske polygonal rifled barrel, do you have thoughts on that barrel? Accuracy? Longevity?
Those rail panels are helpful but be sure to install them before you install the tube.
I'll be interested to see how this tube holds up- some have commented that it's flimsy.
I have no experience with Noveske's polygonal barrel. Can't see how it would be as accuarte over a long period as a conventional rifled barrel, but hey, maybe.
I came up with a fast way to get the rail sections on the tube AFTER the tube has been put on the barrel. Let me know if you need help.
Only time will tell if she will take abuse.....
I really like the new Troy designed "Extreme BattleRail". I have been running the 11" Vtac version on my duty rifle for the past several months, and I have another build in-the-works with the same rail for an entry gun. Very light-weight, and it feels great it hand.
I will be following this to see how well it holds-up. The barrel specs sound heavy duty. Interested on how it shoots....
Keep us posted Kyle.
I use the Troy/VTAC version of this handguard and it will get hot after 150 to 200 rounds or so if shot with little down time in between drills. I still love it though.
Kyle,
Any updates with the Troy upper?
I'd love to know the secret of attaching rail sections on the tube after install, do tell.
What bolt carrier assembly does is come with?
Thanks
