Hey everyone. need some help.

I need pictures of your Minimags with an AGD sight rail mounted on it, either with or without a sight.
Need to show someone what this looks like and how to mount it properly and I could not find any decent pics.
I am hoping you guys can help me out and post them in the thread here so I can show the customer.
Thank you so much!

You have to clear the gas port on the valve. You can use nylon tipped set screws or some sort of shim material under the rail to prevent the set screws from marking the body. You can cut some relief into the lower section for the gas port, so that the rail comes back over the top of the valve like the PE rails; then you need to add something like another set screw hole in between the two existing ones. That secures the rail and still doesn't involve the valve body.
