I have had a hard time finding longer rails for my m6a2 also, I called LWRC and was told they are working rail conversion for the carbine length rifles. I did call around and talked with 2 shops that sell LWRC. I was told the Fortis would fit, so I ordered one and it did not fit. I took the Samson evo rail off my Colt and it was tight but it did fit. hope that helps

I own an m6a2 from back when they only came with quad rails and I've managed to get a Centurion Arms C4 12" rail to fit on it over the piston with a considerable amount of amateur dremel work.
Which Fortis rail are you referring to? The REV looked large enough that I was tempted to find out if it would fit but never got around to it. The new Switch rail series they just came out with has me salivating though, it looks very similar to the samson in terms of profile and shape around the piston area. Having it be keymod would be a nice upgrade, but more importantly being able to just flip it off with their clamp design and have easy access to the piston for cleaning or whatever would be a huge improvement over having to completely take off the rail as I have to now with the C4 rail.
Does anyone know if the Fortis Switch fits over the LWRC piston? If not a drop in replacement, is there a possibility to dremel off a small amount of material and have it function?
