Trying to locate a rifle length quad rail (this is GD, so I assume I will get made fun of for this).

Anyway, would the end of this rail work on my 20”PSA?  My PSA has a triangle end cap, but the guy selling this says it is for a round cap.

Guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about… pictured rail is a triangle endcap rail.

The DD Omega is a drop in rail, and it’s a free floater so the handguard cap doesn’t even matter

The pictured rail is not a DD.  It is some off brand drop in.  I just want some rail space to mount a battery for my Sightmark Wraith.

I know it’s not a DD.

I simply stated the DD doesn’t care what kind of cap you have, since you’re looking for a drop in rail for a certain end cap.

I’d rather free float the barrel and not even use the end cap, especially on a 20”

i put MagPul SL on mine.  so far no issues with the mlok/pic rail attached stuff I have on them including the rail that has a qd sling socket and a light.  been banging around for a few years it's held up fine and it's much lighter than the quad rails and way easier on the hands. by the time you put rail covers on a quad rail it feels like you're holding the fat end of a bat imo.

I have one of these and it is a decent drop in two piece handguard, website states it works with triangle cap.

The SL's really are a superior handguard, I put 'em on every rifle.

So what the hell was I shipped?

Front looks way off from what was shown in the pic on Gunbroker and will not fit endcap.

Back is not recessed and will not fit delta ring.

I could be backwards since the rails are not labels like they are in the GB pic, but if I flip it, still will not fit.

It looks nothing like whatever was advertised on gunbroker. No rail slot index markings, what you received has QD sockets on the end, while the original pictured item does not.

You'll save a lot of headache by going with a reputable brand instead of something off-brand or chinesium.

Thank you.

Is this for some sort of free float mounting or something?

How would one install that?  The one end cannot engage the endcap or the delta ring.

Angled edge into the delta ring.  Flat end over a round handguard cap, not tucked into it.
