Just wondering if you guys have that in the works? Would love one. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

This makes me happy to know. Sneak peek?

if not can you at least confirm if the top of the rail will match up to the rail of the upper? Please tell me MLOK.

Our first would be a collaboration with FORTIS on a version of the SWITCH Rail with the top Picatinny Rail cut to match our BAD556-LW Upper Receiver. Those are Keymods at this time.

I can't tell you I'm extremely excited about the keymod version, but I will say thank you for the info.

Interesting. I love the way the Geissele Mk4 lines up with the BAD LW set. Had to Dremel the rail a little to make it work but the end result is fanastic.

I'm planning to buy another set soon.

+1 I've got a KAC URX on the BA receiver set atm. It doesn't look too bad, but would like a matching rail such as what 2A has.

We have the 14" BAD/FORTIS SWITCH Rails now. Same price as the regular Fortis SWITCH Rail. It is not online yet as we are using them for rifle builds. Please call in for order and ask for Justin. 702.802.3588

Price is in line with what the standard Fortis switch rail sells for.

I recently used the 14" FORTIS SWITH 556 Rail System on my build using B.A.D. LW receivers. It works extremely well with the receivers. I saw the SWITCH being used in the B.A.D. Gallery and I even called to make sure what it was. I think having a FORTIS SWITCH 556 Rail System designed to further compliment the B.A.D. LW receiver would be a wonderful thing to be able to offer. I wish you guys had the handguard available when I was starting my build.

Sounds like there aren't any rails coming from BAD. I have been looking at regular fortis rails. Sucks the top rail won't match the upper rail, but I can't wait forever I guess.

I hear you. I've got 2 BAD builds on their LW receiver sets. My last build I went with the Noveske NSR and Gen 3 receivers as the NSR blends perfectly with the upper. It's a shame BAD isn't doing something similar.

If you are building an SBR...

They also have one in 12" and 14".

I'm waiting on the fortis night 14" rail to come out. It looks pretty bad ass.

Well well well, look what popped up on the site. A 14 inch switch rail that matches your upper. Thanks guys, thanks. I needed that.
