I recently bought an upper off of JSE surplus, but the rail is like a tan color, and I'm thinking about painting it black. I assume I should take it off the upper then. And when I post the link, yes, I got it shipped without a flash hider.

 

I figure it'll be easier to paint it now, before I get a compensator pinned. Which reminds me, is it illegal NOT to have one? Furthermore, any particular recommendations for comps/brakes, or even paint to use on the rail?

Illegal to not have one if the barrel is threaded, which it looks like it is (because you have the pistol grip).

I believe hes GTG though as long as he doesnt have an AR lower...

 

you might be able to get the rail off just by pulling back the delta ring if its a two piece rail

Yes - without the lower you're fine. I was talking overall with a finished rifle.

Yeah, no lower. I'll probably take it to A-n-A later this month. Damn, I figured it was, but in the event that I need to take a piece off, having it pinned makes it (to my knowledge) impossible to remove. I may want to change out the gasblock at some point. I like the PRI flip up sight gasblocks.

Go with a nude muzzle, this way you can still change it up easily. Its not like you need a comp anyways, unless you have a full auto lower you arent telling us about

Thats a 2 piece rail so no need to take the GB off to take the rail off, and if my memory is right this comp is the same dia. as an AR barrel so a GB should slide right over it http://shop.nordicco...MP-TC-22-BK.htm But dont just take my word for it as Im not 100% sure.

Good, I'll ask PK90 when I go to get it done. There's some stuff I want to do with it, but I don't want to do it all immediately.
