ok I have a question, I saw this photo in another post in th HTF and I have a question.
I have an SBR with the front site post like the one posted. I want to get a rail that extends past the end of the barrel so when I put the can on there it is INSIDE of the rail. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this b/c of the front site post. my only other rail that I have screws on so it would have to rotate over the FSP. this has to be two piece design, but then how does it stay free float? |
some of these rails lock down to the barrel nut, the Midwest Industries rail i installed for a friend was a two peice like the picture above. i simply took a dremel and cut off the d-ring and installed the 2 peice rail set. it was very easy and looked like a million bucks . i hope that helps

The DD Omega Rail clamps down on the barrel nut. It takes a special barrel nut, not the one that comes with the Delta ring. But, it locks down tight and is built like a brick shithouse. A sexy, brick, shithouse.
ETA: for what you're wanting to do, I would also look at the DD AR15 Lite Rail 12.0 FSP |

I built one like that for a 9mm. What you may find is the can O.D. may be larger than the I.D. of the rail. I had a Gemtech Raptor and Troy rail - ended up removing 1.3mm inside the rail since the can was round and the rail was oval.
I used a 8.5" barrel and a 10" rail. Have not tried it yet on a 5.56 since most manufacturers inside on at least a 10.5" barrel which means you need a 12" or longer rail. |
