I'm trying to find one that is in that 11-11.5" length.  I can't seem to find much in that range.  Most seem to be 10-10.5" long.  Let me know if there's one I need to look at.  My barrel length is 11.5".  It needs to be M Lok and Free floating.  I appreciate your input.

Thanks.

10.5 is normally a great length for a 11.5" barrel.

Here is a 10.5" Centurion Mlok rail on a 11.5" BA barrel.

if pickins get really slim, here's what a 10" looks like on an 11.5 unsurpressed:

Sorry the light is kinda in the way, but I don't think it looks too short or anything.  That one's the Angstadt Ultralight, by the way.

Found another pic from before the light was mounted:

BCM MCMR-10, or their KMR-10 (Keymod vs M-lok your choice). No clue on in-status.

Geissele 10.5” Mk16. Have one on an 11.5” build. Looks great and sits perfectly behind the muzzle device

Usually you want anywhere from .75 inches to 1 inch shorter handguard than your length of barrel.

There are exceptions. But that is the traditional way to do things.

But it takes 6months to get them from Larue,
I’d search for something in the EE.
G has (or had) the MK4 black in stock and it’s a nice rail, centurion arms has great rails!
Midwest industries has some options for that length as well.

Depending on what muzzle device you are using, you could go with a 12" rail, assuming you're going to put something like a Nov pig, or other deflection can on the end of the barrel that will bring it out a couple of inches.

The Checkmate M-Lok rail at RighttoBear is on sale right now and I was very pleased with the quality of it.  (Although it was recently a bit cheaper than it is right now)

I put that 12" rail on an 11.3 barrel with a KAK Flash Can.. Quite pleased with it.

The LaRue LAT handguard, nice value for the money.

V Seven 11.1" is what you seek.  As long as you can go without covering up the muzzle device.  Spike's 11.5" + AFAB.

I just used a 10” 2A Armament builder series on a 12.3 build. I paid like $140 and I really like it. It’s a three screw clamp on. Seems to be of really nice quality.

Midwest Combat Rail

I've grown pretty fond of MI rails for their cost, design, and ease of installation.  Only gripe I have is the little ball sack they appear to have.  BCM MCMR takes it for purely aesthetics in my book, but I'll go MI over BCM going forward.  I own  both, but the combat rail is what I'd pick.
