SIG 552 RAS Modular Handguard

[]D[][]\/[][]D · March 24th, 2009, 21:51

Does anybody know if the Proud or UFC SIG 552 RAS Modular Handguard can hold a 102mm x 34mm x 16mm Li-Po battery? Do they give you more room to work with than the original SIG 552 handguard? Because that size of Li-Po battery won't fit in the original handguard even with the battery tray removed.

Hey PIMP,I purchased a new RIS for the 552, in mine it does not really leave me alot of room either but I can still get the original battery into it(little tight..but no movement) as for you having to remove the battery tray..well all I did to remedy this problem was to purchase a battery box , attach it to the RIS, run the battery wire to it and I'm good to go..I'm not really sure but I can't see why you couldn't do that with a LIPO..they do come in all sizes (battery box that is) to accomodate various battery sizes..

Well, I just ordered a VFC AN/PEQ-15 battery case with 11.1V 1300mAh Li-Ion battery so you can say that I got that part covered already. But with my FireFox 11.1V 1600mAh mini sized Li-Po battery, I can't fit it inside the original 552 handguard even with the battery tray removed. Even though it's the exact same size as a mini Ni-MH/Ni-Cd battery. It's because it has straight right angeled corners. Can you tell me if the RAS handguard gives you a little more room than the original handguard? Like, is it like the original how it tapers at the top from the middle or if it's straight? Even better, can you post up a pic of it looking inside from the rear with it together?

That's cool, by you telling me that the RAS handguard is tapered as well, you just helped me answer my original question. So, I guess you can't fit a mini sized Li-Po battery in it. Thanks a lot for your input!
