Building an 8.5" 300BLK upper, and need to find a rail that is keymod preferably, and lightweight. I could do a little longer, if it will fit over a Specwar 7.62....

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Just remember...even if it fits over the Specwar, you still need to access the locking ring for installation and removal of the can.

Might want to look at Samson.  They have a big enough ID (IIRC) and they have a 7.6 and a 9".  The 7.6" might be the best option for you.  Won't break the bank either.

when i mounted my specwar on my 11.5" barrel with an 11" rail i had to use a gemtech full turn spacer to gain close to the clearance I needed, and then had to take a dremel to the inside of the rail. Realistically you need closer to 3/4" than 1/2"

9" barrel, 8" ALG rail


11.5" barrel, 11" noveske NSR rail


11.3" barrel, 10.4" rail


dremeling on 11" rail to seat correctly


specwar locking mechanism

Yeah, i have a 10.5" 556 with 10" SLR and Specwar 5.56 and it looks like it was made for it...just cant find much in the means of 8" rails...might mean I go with a 10.5" 300BLK instead.

I have an 8.2" barrel and 7.6" rail and it will *just* work with the YHM mount but I don't think the Specwar or Saker mounts would work.  I've got a Saker on the way one of these days but can't check until ATF gets their shit together and send me my permission slip!

You'd likely be fine with a 7.2" rail.

I have an 8.5" barrel with an 8" SLR handguard using YHM Phantom.  I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

I have a 8.2 Noveske barrel with AAC 51t muzzle break.  A Daniel Defense 7" Omega fit great.  I have a 7" SLR rifleworks lightweight keymod on the way and I'm going to try that out.

The Seekins MCSR will fit, but I prefer to have the mount out of the rail.
