sexy! you going for an ultralight setup? Yea, the rail is really light compared to some of the others I have. I'll put it on a scale tomorrow. I also have another Fortis Night Rail coming in 14". They just came out. I try both for weight and make my call |

| The Vella Titan 15" weighs .46 lbs. or 7.36 oz. When the Fortis Night Rail comes in I'll weigh it. I'm going with a 14.5" Ultramatch LIGHTRIGID™ 416R SS .223 Wylde Fluted Lightweight Barrel, and BAD's Titanium Gas Block. All the Titanium Parts I can find, excluding the BCG. Probably a MFT Battlelink Minimalist Stock or Sabertube, still working that. |

In the ultralite world 4.5oz is a huge savings |

The older model (Non Alpha) appears to be a Unicorn, out of stock everywhere. The Alpha weighs 10.3 oz. (Non Titanium nut) I got lucky about a month ago and found the KMR in stock on V7's website, bought it, next day they were sold out. That was the only time I have ever seen them in stock anywhere though. |
