I have the Troy 13.8 inch TRX extreme on my AR and I'm looking at swapping it out for a quad rail. I was looking into the 13.8" Troy MRF-RX rail. Will these rails just swap over with the same mounting hardware? Or will I have to swap the barrel nut? If it is not a direct swap does Troy make any quad rails that are around 13.8" in length that use the same mounting hardware as the TRX extreme?

I have 2 of the the original TRX extreme (with the proprietary barrel nut) 13" rail on a 16" middy carbine and I have no trouble.

I have read many threads about people having trouble with the clamping mechanism stripping out or whatever problems, but mine have been fine.

I have often wondered if I should be trying to make them fail so Troy would issue me a replacement. I can't bring myself to do it.
