What's a 7.25 FF quad rail look like on a 9" barrel? It seems most .300 BO Barrels are 7.5" or 9" for the short configurations but the rails I'm looking at are available in 7.25" or 9.25" Appreciate the thread. |

That would definitely leave some barrel exposed. I'm not too familiar with 300 BLK barrels, but they probably don't measure exactly what they are advertised as. I would look for an ~8" barrel to use with a carbine length handguard. |

A Google Sheet or something with self measured and verified lengths would be nice. |
