4 inches, LOL, need a rail!

[Member 34319]

I've opted for a 5" 9mm barrel, which means a 4.5" rail will not fit. I need a 4" rail to be able to actually use the threads.

Looking for decent manufacturers rails at 4" in length! I'm not interested in 4" rails that cost over $100, that's pretty stupid for something that small to cost more.

Thanks!

I don't know if 9mm barrels are different then 5.56, but the build I just finished has a 7.5" barrel with a 7" handguard and the threads are accessible. Are you sure your 4.5" won't work?

Might be a starting point...

This, in which case.

Yes. Got the barrel and upper already. Measurements show a 4.5 would be too long.

Thanks!

Their $60 one looks about right, though out of stock. The $90 one might not work as it has index tabs on the sides that might not work with my upper.

You could always cut a cheap handguard down. I did that to a 10" and just spray painted the end with flat black.

That would be my last resort type thing.

Thanks. That looks like a good rail. $80 isn't too horrible.
