seems like a fairly straight forward AR free float tube, bolts directly to barrel nut
QBZ-191 service rifle family
- Thread starter Blitzo
- Start date
Are those QD points I see?
Yeah, fairly straightforward QD points, then you can rip the original stock off or drill it for a QD cup, then you have a proper sling setup
Any idea where you got those pictures? Do you have more of these? Any link? What about the CS/LR17 and the Chinese HK-416 clone?
Yeah like I thought, the top pic rail is plastic on the handguard, basically useless for holding zero

You only need the hand guard rails to hold zero if you want to mount LAMs on them. But it seems that the PLA is not really interested in LAMs and prefer dedicated night time weapon sights instead. And that makes perfect sense since their opfor are all expected to have comprehensive NV capabilities, so using LAMs for night time combat is going to be highly problematic if not downright suicidal.
If you don’t need the front hand guard to hold zero, why not take the savings in cost and weight by making it plastic instead of aluminium?
