I bought a 12" Troy MRF-CX rail to go on my 11.5 SBR. The upper has a Troy muzzle break, and a small amount of the porting is underneath the rail. Will it hurt anything, and will it have any negative effects?
Pics-
I'm just worried about the epic muzzle flames melting my new rail.....

Don't hang lights or optics near the break, or it will be an expensive lesson.
If your good at body work, just cut the rail back 2 inches. The upper is a custom, then make the rail custom for it too.
Hack saw and belt sander, a little paint ( or alumium black ) who will know?
Exactly. The end of the rail will be discolored from being blasted with carbon and flames, but it won't affect anything except how it looks.

I went ahead and decided to get the Troy Claymore.....I like the "Front Towards Enemy" on the bottom of it....
Good choice. I like my light as far forward as possible and went with the Claymore. They are just about even at the end and so far it has been a great set up.
