Nice! Keep'em coming guys. I'm thinking about building an upper with a 12.5 BA and 10" QRF rail but I want to see what else is out there.
 I think I may consider the MCMR also |

^Still g2g in my book since it's a 12.5 barrel
To all; Before I placed my order for my 12.5 BA I was researching the gas port size and came across this awesome spread sheet someone made and shared AR-15 5.56/.223 Gas Port Size It has all the 12.5" barrels from known brands, at least that I can think of. |

Every 12.5 on that list has Carbine gas, my 12.5 is Mid with regulator plate holes .073/.055/.082. I use .055 with a K can. .073 is for unsuppressed and .082 for really dirty or crappy ammo. |

I have URX 3.1 13.5", it came on a 16" AAC upper. I didn't even know what it was until I decided to change the barrel, now I know a lot and have a wrench. The barrel nut is an unusual setup. This was my time first changing a barrel to. What makes this $300 rail better (in your opinion) than the popular ones that are $150. Not being a dick, I just wonder. Most of my AR stuff is mid tier at best. |

What makes this $300 rail better (in your opinion) than the popular ones that are $150. Not being a dick, I just wonder. Most of my AR stuff is mid tier at best. The KAC logo mostly. I have a couple and while I like them I don't really agree that they are the pinnacle of AR development. The mounting system seems very robust but I'm not convinced it's really any stronger than something with a massive barrel nut like a geissele. Perhaps it achieves something similar with a lower weight than having a big chunk of metal there. I like the mounting system and think it's pretty innovative overall though. In terms of strength it does have a bit more of the I beam profile of quad rails which probably helps vs a tube style, but the fact that it's a 2 piece likely negates any of that benefit. If you have the bottom half removed on a 13.5" you can definitely flex the top portion pretty easily if you squeeze tightly in the horizontal direction. I guess this shouldn't be a surprise really given that half the support is removed. It does seem really stiff in the vertical direction. Once the lower half is bolted up with a few bolts it's very solid. Ergonomically I don't really like it as much for a c clamp grip as some other modern rails but that's all preference. I don't own other KAC stuff but I've always been drawn to their looks and the 3.1 is no exception. It's a quality piece that is a solid choice but if you are going for bang for the buck there are better options IMO, at least at full MSRP. I got mine way below retail price... |

I have the 13" URX 3.1 waiting back home for me that will eventually end up on a RECCE type build with PWS lower. URX 3.1 along with the DD RIS II and G MK8 are my favorites. |

The RHF has the lightning cuts going down the side, but I prefer the clean look of the CMT. |
