[ARCHIVED THREAD] - SPR Rail Length?

What's the proper rail length for an 18" SPR?
12" with the gas block exposed or 13.2" and covered up?

Depends on what you want. On my 18" build I went with a 12.5" YHM Diamond rail. I wanted the DD 14.0 but its over $300- way overpriced due to the laser etching.

I went with a Troy MRF RX 13.8" rail on my 18" SPRish build.

It's a Noveske intermediate gas length...

I too used the Troy MRF RX 13.8" on my 18" SPR type build. It covers a rifle length gas system.

There is a very big difference between YHM and DD rails, the least of which is the laser etching. I agree they are way pricey but comparing YHM and DD is like comparing Apples to rocks.
