High-quality = Geissele SMR 15", Noveske NSR 15", Centurion CMR, or the new BCM KMR 15".



I chose the Geissele, and I love it.

I strongly second this. I have both the Geissele SMR Mk1 15 inch and the 13 inch Mk4 Keymod. They are extremely easy to install, very rigid, tough, durable and if you get the Mk1 you can mount rail pieces directly to it without having to use the back plates.

Without a doubt my fav. rail systems and I have used a lot.

13 Inch Mk4 Keymod

i have a sampson evolution series that im about to use for my build when the rest of my parts get here. it seems like a very light rail that is comfortable to hold unlike the ones that have all 4 sides with full rail.

Another vote for Geissele. Just got a MKI and will definitely be buying a few more.

I was in the same boat and chose 13" geissele mk4 non keymod in black. I love it, wouldnt change anything.

I really like the rainier evo rails and have a few, Midwest gen 2 are nice, obviously the geisselle, noveske, etc. But I just got a 13" bcm kmr in the other day and i must say this thing is an amazing piece of work and exile machine has them on sale for $230, don't know if you can beat that I know I didn't think twice.

If you want full quad rail, La Rue is hard to beat:

I really like my Midwest industries SS gen2

This is a 15" on my 18" FN barrel





Light and comfortable, comes with a few add on rails sections you can put anywhere

Save weight and get the BCMs KeyMod rail.

Thanks.  I'm getting ready to put a 1-6X on it and move the EOTech to a pistol...

This, if you want a full rail instead of keymod then get a Seekins SAR rail.  12.5oz for a 13" full quad rail isn't bad.  The BCM is just over half that.

Ended up ordering this geissele 15" smr mk1. Thank you guys for the suggestions!

Now I  need to decide on a either a clamp on gas block or set screw block (which my WOA barrel is dimpled for at least once)  and then a muzzle device and optic and I pretty much got it wrapped up

You made the right choice IMHO.










I went with the Geissele Super Gas Block. It can be used with the included set screws, or pinned (they include a pin and instructions on how to install both ways).










I got mine from ADCO, $59.
