What rail do you have?

[373rd_35GMI]

Hey everybody, I just wanted to see what others here on the site are operating with and for reference im running a 14.5 CHF Daniel Defense P/W with a Dead Air 3prong FH.

Im torn between getting a lighter rail or just stick with my RIS II rail. I am a die hard fan for the nostalgic look and ruggedness of quad rails btw.

What's everyone else operating with? Opinions?

Some Mlok, and 1 keymod, but if you like the feel and look go with it! Theres so many damn options out there and its all about preference.

Love the RIS and the DA isn't to shabby either!

I have a couple of the ALG Defense rails. They're not too expensive, come in several configurations and lengths, you can even get one in purple if ya like that kind of thing. M-Lok all the way.

My wife went for the purple and what do you know Lancer made purple magazines ! You would think it would be obnoxious but it looks pretty nice .

Quad rail. I believe this is a DD Omega quad rail.

Actually I did something similar for my old lady but in the robin egg blue variation.

That is the smart thing to do to keep the ladies in the game !

Awesome everyone, yeah it's definitely personal preferences and mission dictated to what we are using it for, and I definitely need to shed some Oz's off this pig of a beast. Im thinking of going to MLOK maybe a Geissele or maybe something even shorter like a 11.5 setup and a 10" MCMR.

YES!!!!! Smart indeed, she only put up with my crap because I built (assembled) her a setup and I also got her a CMMG 22lr CONV so its up to her what kind of lead she wants to sling down range.

YES!!!!! Smart indeed, she only put up with my crap because I built (assembled) her some fun and I also got her a CMMG 22lr CONV so its up to her what kind of lead she wants to sling down range.

EXACTLY !!!!! And when she gets a new purple firearm I need a new black one so we can shoot together lol

Right now I have a Seekins SP3R (12"), a Daniel Defense MFR (13"), a Mega Wedge Lok (12") and a Hodge Wedge Lock (11.5") on uppers. I have found that I like the slimmer feel of non-quad rails. If you end up looking for a non-quad the Wedge Locks are hard to beat for toughness. Their barrel nut is very robust and has a long bearing surface. The Seekins is also quite robust and almost monolithic with the upper receiver. The DD is super light and a great complement to the 20" pencil-barrel upper it is on.

If I were building a(nother) 14.5 right now, I'd likely get another Wedge Lock. I would also consider a Geissele (they also have long and robust barrel nuts, which I seem to have developed a preference for).

The weight and girth (especially swollen with rail covers) of a quad just don't make sense for my purposes... or the size of my hands...

I hate quad rails. Too heavy and too sharp.

 

[Hueco]

Does anyone make a sectioned quad rail? What I mean is, quad rails on the end for about ~3 or 4 inches then smooth keymod/mlok all the way back on all sides except the top, which has some rail for ~3-4" from the receiver for some extra scope mount space…?

For my use, I simply have no need for a full length rail…but a bit at the end would be nice (as opposed to using mlok->rail adapters).

 

[monkeybutler]

Geissele at least does. Or did.

I got a real love/hate relationship with quad rails. More love than hate though.
