Not much to this thread. I've got almost all the parts I need to finish my SBR, except the hand guard.

It's going to use a 10.2" Noveske 300blk barrel.  I already went by the Fun Shop and confirmed that I can still correctly mount a SureFire SOCOM Suppressor to the 10.2" barrel with a DD Mk18, so there's no issue there.

Normally I'm a LaRue guy, but I'm considering trying something different for this build.


Here are the handguards in question:

LaRue Taclical 9.0" Handguard LT15-9
Weight: 0.854 lb

Daniel Defense Mk18 RIS II
Weight: 0.881 lb

Noveske NSR Rail (9 inch)
Weight: 0.544 lb (with barrel nut)

Note that the NSR was added here as a bit of an after thought, I'm still not all that impressed by KeyMod, but it is what it is so I putting it in the running.

I know I'm risking catastrophe by posting this question in GD, but I figured it would cast a wider net.

I really like the BCM KMR.

I would go with the 9" BCM KMR. I plan on swapping the rail on my 10.5" with one when my suppressor is released from prison. I have a 8.2" .300BLK with a Mega MKM upper/rail combo and it has the same style of rail and it's great.

I think there are rails that look better and cost less.  For instance, the parrallax tactical

Geissele MK4

Super easy to install, even comes with the tool to do it.

Lightweight and strong, clean machine work and nice features.

Meh, not having a continuous top rail on the Larue is a deal breaker for me.

I'd got with the DD Mk18.  Don't own the Mk18 version myself, but have owned an upper with the RIS II and it was a fantastic solid rail.

Nothing wrong with the NSR either, my "go to" rifle sports a 13.5" NSR.

I'd say you can't go wrong with your 2nd or 3rd choice.

What makes the gap a deal breaker?

I use LT104 mounts so I haven't really had an issue.

Well, I guess it really does depend on what type of optic you are planning on using.  Either way, why risk having that portion open when essentially all newer manufacturer designs don't have it.

I think the question should be, "What does the Larue rail do that the Mk18 or NSR don't?"

KMR. It's holy-fucking-shit-is-it-really-this-light light. So light that it makes you want to hang shit off of it just to make it feel "normal". So light that you want to beat a bitches ass with it.  I like it.

Simply because the bottom rail comes off.
Easy to clean and oil.

Alot of guys say theres nothing to clean under there, but this is one of the biggest reasons I bought my RIS II.  In humid environments you gotta be able to clean everything otherwise rust starts.  I live in the florida keys and the humidity and salt air are harsh down here.

If I was building a rifle right now it would have troy m4 style flip ups because that's what I like and am used to.
