Use a vertical foregrip and it doesn't matter
 .Daniel Defense are the narrowest with an oval profile, while most of the others are round. Rail cover panels can also affect the size. |

And Samson is the other company. ETA that my YHM is 2.43" wide. It doesn't sound like much of a difference but it sure feels like a big difference. |

Great, keep them coming! And if your measurements vary significantly be sure to let us know. As well if you have some measurements with rail panels or can chime in on profile, do so.
Also, how about some top-down pics to show rail width compared to the receiver width, or muzzle end shots to illustrate the profile. *Updated the chart to reflect above posts |

Bump for the exact info I'm looking for.
Is this info in the big FAQ tacked at the top of the page? It should be! |

This is an excellent chart, maybe instead of tacking this thread we can just put the chart in the other railed forend thread? What do you think of that? I think all the widths should be measured with pannels as well as without. Except for those railed forends that dont need them like hte SIR and the PRI. Just pick a standard pannel to use with all the rails if thats possible.
