About to buy a MLOK FF rail for an AR-10 carbine. Want something lightweight with a full length picatinny rail at 12:00 and MLOK everywhere else. Don't want anything longer than 13" long. I'm currently leaning towards the MI. Anything else I should consider?

You might look at Midwest Industries here.
They've got all different types of rails for all the major .308 based AR's.

I love JL Billet Handguards, lightweight and very good looking.

I'll second JL Billet.  Have a 17.2" on my .22-250 AR-10 upper and love it.

Still looking.

I really like the looks and feel of the MI but the attachment method concerns me a bit.

I don't care for the squared off shape of the JL.

Odinworks and SLR apparently only make rails for DPMS rifles.

I assume you're looking for Armalite b rail? SLR makes nice stuff, Armalite has some decent KeyMod offerings.

I have the 15" on my Armalite. I really like it, but want something different, but none have a better mounting method than SLR pie Armalite.everything i look at, none offering anything better than the Armalite.

If Armalite would adopt the mlok, they'd have real winners for large and standard frame.

As far as I can tell from their website, SLR only makes DPMS rails.

Can you point me in the direction of their Armalite rails, because all I see are for DPMS.

It's the barrel nut that's different. Theres an option menu to select it.

Very nice. Is that a 16" barrel?

Thanks for the help. I think this SLR SOLO Lite is exactly what I want. Now, just need to figure out which gas block to order and I'll be all set.

Anyone have one of these Troy rails? I really like that they have Mlok slots at 1:30, 4:30, 7:30 and 10:30 in addition to 3, 6 and 9.

Ended up with an SLR Solo Lite 13" MLOK. Very sleek and lightweight yet feels rock solid. The machining is superb. Got a Vltor low profile gas block, Troy sights, a PWS FSC30, Magpul QD sling mount, hand stop kit and bipod mount. Still waiting on the Magpul type 2 cover panels for the 3 and 9 sides of the hand guard.
