    Yes, but I think you will have to have it milled down a little to fit flat on the rail.

        The Frame

        The frame has a lip on either side that fits the am/mm rail.
        This is the problem with using an RT Pro type rail.
        Its easier to use the am/mm rail and just get a Kapp foregrip extender.

          ok i see the lip on either side but the frame appears to fit the rail. Does the fram HAVE to be flush with the rail? The sear appears to be moving with the trigger pull.

            Yes it needs to sit flat on teh rail. Do you have the Hyperframe now? I would suggest getting a classic rail or having Luke mill the HF.

              It will work without being milled, but only the lips will be making contact with the rail. That will make it less sturdy (harder to assemble) and will leave more scratches on your rail. Also, it can cause issues with the field strip screw not being inside the valve far enough (because of the added gap) and eventually stripping out some of the threads. You'll also need an extra long gripframe/body screw.

              I would suggest getting them milled off if you want to use RT-Pro style rails. Luke did a fantastic job on mine and the price was very reasonable.

                thanks for the help men. I ended up just filing the wings down with a metal file, works great.
