For argument’s sake, I wonder if a railed receiver would have enough room and geometry for an ACOG/rmr and laser. Flashlight on upper handguard rail section, or just drilled and bolt up a scout light with no mount.

Unsure on ACOG. I have used an Eotech and laser and an Aimpoint and laser in the configuration you describe; light on the plastic handguard. It works.

Edit: It's relevant to mention that the laser was a Steiner in an ADM mount that provides some cantilever out over the handguard. I am almost certain the ACOG config would work; I'll see about making it happen, to prove the concept.

Edit 2: The ACOG setup certainly works, and would work without the laser being on the cantilever mount.

My 553R, in the style Voshterkoff mentioned. It is much preferred, for me, over the use of a quad or M-Lok handguard. It is better with a more contemporary "micro" red dot sight, like a T2, because you can get the dot further forward.
