I’ve got a ddc lower, a black super42 kit, 14.5” barrel and a 40mm upper. The upper is notched and I can’t for the life of me figure out what rail I should be hunting for. Obviously I want one with the tab for the notch and wish I could find one in grey or ODG. So what Mk am I looking for?
Then, not the same, but not real different either. A home brewed moonshine rifle.

Sounds like you need an iridium rail in my opinion.

Sure!
What series has the top tab for the notched receiver?

Hello neight,

All of our factory Super Duty uppers have a "Center-Tab" upper which mates with the upper that you have on hand. It will still accept a retail "Dual-Tab" which is where you see the two set screws behind the crossbolts.

We unfortunately only have Center-Tab rails at factory and pair them here with an upper. You can find them on the second hand market, but that would be the only way to acquire it.

Almost there, all I really need is a tabbed DDC 13.5” rail.

I  am inpatient AF, and will probably end up "moonshining" a rifle via Cerakote.

This all started when @officerx sold me the 40mm upper receiver a year or so ago. I already had the lower receiver, but the idea was born when I got the upper.  It’s a straight anodized mash on this one.

GO DAWGS!

The mash bill is almost complete!
I’ve got a 14.5” barrel and have seriously considered trimming this rail. But now I have my hands on it I might just hunt down a 16” barrel. I know I’m talking to myself, but I’m having a big time.

Is that a 16.5" rail? 18" barrel would work with no chop. A 16" barrel will be slightly tucked.

ETA: it's going to be a good looking moonshine build!

Ah, yes, it is 16.5”.
An eighteen inch barrel isn’t a bad idea!
Thanks!

Heall yeah yall!
Are they not making 18” barrels anymore?
Got this 16.5” Mk 16 and would rather not cut it. Haven’t looked to see if there’s a can that would fit inside.

They've done 2 drops of them. I saw one on either the EE or tacswap for $400 the other day, with gas block and tube, unused. It was a great deal but I've got one and have been shooting 6 ARC more lately.

Some fuckery was afoot and led to my moonshine and two uppers.
