The next CWAR is coming along. Even with that little completed, it's got a Mk8, G gas block, and SSA-E in it already.  |

 Awaiting just the TA33 for Mk8 CWAR spec compliance. Other than that, I'm going to put a WML on it, and I'm waiting on Magpul to release an MLOK pressure pad mount.

Well whatever this is. Exactly what I need but I also need accommodations for a pressure pad for my light and for my dbal. |

Exactly what I need but I also need accommodations for a pressure pad for my light and for my dbal. That's a Mk4 rail. Geissele doesn't make any add on rails for it, but I've heard rumors of people modifying rail sections to fit. |

And, to piggyback, the Mk8 can add MLOK rails or other MLOK add ons. I've already picked up a Magpul MLOK rail segment for the WML that I need to pick up. |

The Geissele rail systems were designed from the ground up to be "bomb proof" and handle anything you can throw at it. The strength of the system centers around the large 2.25" barrel nut design. The small mil-spec barrel nut was never meant to support the torque from a free float rail system. More surface area equals better support and rigidity. Just one of the many reasons why folks choose Geissele. |

It makes it so damn easy. |

It makes it so damn easy. The barrel nut system does make life easy; especially since you don't have to index for the gas tube. When you're breaking down builds all the time like I do for photos, you come to appreciate having one mounting system. I can bounce back between the newer MLOK rail and throwing on a legacy one (e.g., MK1 Mod 0) in a heart beat.

The "set it and forget it" nature of the Geissele system is what makes it so great. Add in the lightweight barrel nut and it's commonality among rail systems and you have a real winner. Keep up the good work! |
| ALG SCB is probably the best bang for the buck brake. I posted a video of me on IG shooting the Geissele edition San Tan build and it does a good job of taming the muzzle. It also makes it into a firebreathing dragon but that's expected with a brake. For the cost, it is a great option. |

I'm a fan of the MK4 - particularly the Mod 0 version which is on my wife's gun. Trying to secure another MK8 or MK4 rail to send out for cerakote and I'll be in business. |

Same lower with two different uppers. The ALG rail is a 300 BLK upper, while the Geissele Mk 4 rail is the 5.56 upper.

I love backdrops like that; they make for really great photos when you have a subject in the foreground.
