| How do I detemine what length of rail for my rifle? I have a DPMS with a 16" barrel . Does it take a 7" or 9"?. Also which rail would anyone recommed? This is my first rifle. Thanks!!!! |

sounds like a carbine length (does it have the notch in the barrel for the grenade launcher?) it would take 7" rails. You can get a good set of Knight's Armament rails on the Equipment Exchange, Ebay or Gunbroker for about $200.

I think it would probably also depend on whether or not he had a FSB (A frame) or a low pro gas block... 
ETA: If youre going to get a new handguard, my 3 favs are KAC, LaRue and DD...cant go wrong with any. |
| Thanks Guys!! Out of town town at the moment will have to look for notch but I think the rifle is a A frame. What are your thoughts on Daniel defense Omega rails? This is my first rifle and their ad says no gunsmithing required and no mods to weapon which would be great since I have two left thumbs. |

Carbine length http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/PhotoGallery.asp?ProductCode=BCM-URG-M4-16 I've had knights armament rails and hated them. I ended up using UTG mid length 8" rails and love them. The cost about a third of what the Knights Armament ones do and work about twice as good. |
