    This was my Saturday project this St. Patrick's Day weekend...

    Modified CMR-30 (Extended Handguard and Rails).

    1. Ordered parts from Kel-Tec.
    2. Measured, Taped and Cut parts to fit.
    3. I decided to go a different route than a lot of the similar modifications I've seen online... I used the two pieces of cut rail to fasten the two sides of the handguard sections together instead of using one of the barrel guides to re-drill. This way, there is no modification to the stock CMR-30. Hell, I could see these as pre-assembled forend extensions. When I was done, I replaced two screws on the front handguard for longer screws and the whole front assembly slid right on (the rail sections were already attached to the new handguard).
    4. Simply remove thread protector, slide new handguard extension on, remove old screws in forward holes of existing handguard, insert new longer screws... done!

    I plan on shaping the rail sections to match the rounded opposite side of the rail... so it's uniform. This is just the finished product. Everything is aluminum and very easy to cut/drill.

    All in all a nice little project... was it worth the $130+ bucks to extend the handguard? For a little bit more I could have cut/crowned/threaded the barrel and just paid for the stamp to SBR it. But it looks cool and is very functional... kindof reminds me of a Storm Trooper rifle. :)

    ORIGINAL CMR-30 for reference...
