I want to know if the alpha rail is big enough to accept a standard 1.5inch diameter suppressor recessed inside the handguard. Anyone doing this?

It won't fit. I'm installing an alpha rail now and my Gemtech Halo is significantly larger in diameter.

That measurement just reminded me of something I wanted to contact your company about-

I've been looking for an end cap that will fit inside your alpha rail and as far as I know nothing is available.

I know you guys have a lot on your plate right now but I sure would sure love to see Troy manufacture a product similar to ATIs AR-15 FS8 Nose Cone (http://www.atigunstocks.com/img/cms/instructions/a5102360.pdf)  that would be compatible and attach to your alpha rail via the holes in the rail. (ATIs is much too large to fit inside yours).

A nose cone like this would not only be useful (to use as a stable resting point in a fencepost//wall/siding) but in my opinion would look amazing when combined with your claymore muzzle on the end of a barrel.

Just figured I would throw the suggestion out there.
