i was thinking the same thing to get a little more range (range eats it right now) but not so much for the radiation... who knew?? that explains the buldge protruding from the right side of my head. :jester:

the grab rail seems to be a bit wider in diameter than standard or else i would buy a rail mount... just cant seem to find one that fits.

You need this one:
