You think your block will work with one of these?

Will there be a 308 version anytime soon? Hopefully for the SR25 style barrel nut and rail height?
9/24/2013 10:34:23 PM EDT
[#11]
Does this use a standard or proprietary barrel nut? Secondly, and most important; will this work with a standard 16" Dissipator set-up, mid length gas block, but with the standard front sight?

FWIW, I only use MI rail systems, and this one is important to me. Thanks.

We will start with the 12 inch models then go to the 15 . These are the most popular so we will start there then address the 10 inch model.

Any chance of an on end view? Is this ovalish like the Fortis Rev or roundish?
9/25/2013 10:12:06 AM EDT

didnt read the rest of the thread, so don't know if its been asked.

does it use the same barrel nut as the previous gen 2 SS?
9/25/2013 10:36:41 AM EDT
[#25]
Nice job.  Looks very attractive.  Very well done.

I'm slowly coming around to the keymod system.  

I find it interesting how the new crop of handguards look more and more like barrel shrouds and less and less like handguards.

I am slowly becoming a MI fanboy. I really like the Gen2 SS I have and panels for it.

I may have to buy these for my next build.

Do like, would like to see a 9"ish version as well.

The best thing about KeyMod is everything is interchangable.

Here is our MI-SSK-12 with Noveske NSR Panels on it:

Right now we are concentrating on getting the AR15 MI-SSK's to the market.

At this time I do not have any information on a 308 version, but if we do go down that road we will be posting about it here.

Nice product, Pete.  MI's thin handguards are among the very best, at a more than competitive price.  The only drawback is the lengths they come in.  Midlength gas barrels are quite popular, yet suitable MI FF handguards are either 9" long which ends behind a lo-pro gas block, 10" long which only partially covers the GB, or 12" long with completely swallows it.  What's missing is a handguard approximately 10.65" long that just covers a middy GB for optimum esthetics.  The other thin handguard makers (e.g., Noveske and Wilson Combat) provide this "just right"-for-middy length, I suggest MI do the same.  - CW

Dang it!  I just got a 12" SSG2 for my kids dedicated 22lr build.  I guess I'll have to get one of these for myself.

I like it, but I just got a MI SS12G2.
Is there any chance MI will make a full 12" length picatinny rail for these? Haven't been able to find some. Anybody have any suggestions?
10/2/2013 3:11:34 PM EDT
[#39]
I like MI's rails but I just can not get into a keymode style.  I had the chance to jump in last week and just could not do it.  I instead went wit there one peice fre float.

I can't get into keymod either, but this rail is just too sexy to deny.

I agree. To me this is by far the best looking keymod rail yet. Because of the price point, but more so the use of the factory barrel nut, I may actually give it a shot if I can attach all my current accessories. I love the idea of being able to switch back and forth between this and my C4 rail by just changing a few screws. It would be fantastic if some of these companies came up with a QD rail for the standard barrel nut. Change you rail load out with the flip of a switch would be stellar.

This uses a proprietary barrel nut, not standard.

Are these lighter than the GEN 2 SS Series handguards?
10/3/2013 8:34:58 PM EDT

Yes.  They are even lighter than the g2ss.  The 12 inch g2ss is 9.3 oz.  The ssk12 is 8.5.   These are both with barrel nuts.     Thanks.    Troy.

Love the elongated circular vents on these vice the more antiquated early 2000s plain 'ol circular vents.  Plus these long vents will do much better to show off my barrel fluting under the handguard than circles.  I imagine aids in keeping light as well.  Sign me up for a 15 incher!

These are GREAT looking handguards!  As soon as you have this in a 308 version I will change out all my Troy handguards for these!

cheers

Once these come out in 15 FDE I'll be replacing a 15 VTAC and Apha rail.  Guess the TROYs will go up for sale on the EE because I'll sure have no use for them anymore.

Any chance this rail will work on a LWRC piston gun ? The area for the gas tube (dont know what its called) seems pretty large

Could we see pics of the barrel nut ?
