I bought a used AR form a friend I am nit sure what rail he put on it but it weighs 400 lbs.
Anyway It is an 8.5" barrel it has a 7 inch rail on it now. I am looking for an 8" lightweight free float rail.
All i have found is KAC urxlll and urx4 but that's too nice for this budget gun he built.
Anybody seen anything like I am looking for ? it can be any longer than 8.5 because I have to be able to access
my AAC 51t mount.

Look at the ALG rails. They look good and the price is right. Otherwise I like DD rails

The new generations do. Not sure if they're out yet though.

There's a good chance an 8" rail will be TOO LONG for an 8.5" barrel.

It's going to come down to the rail manufacturer.  My 8" has only 0.01" clearance between the muzzle device and the 7" handguard.
