Im looking at my second SBR to run my first rifle can. I have narrowed it down to a Westernsport DD built upper im just having a little trouble on model.
Im basically between the DD WS-5, and the WS-10 Both have the 10.3 barrel, the WS-5 has a 9 inch rail and the WS-10 has the 10 inch rail. Question being, with the WS-10 will I have enough room for mounting a can? Plan is to get a Dead Air Sandman-S however that's not set in stone yet. Anyone with a similar setup? One of these Westernsport DD uppers other than a MK18 maybe? For reference it looks like the MK18 DD HG is 9.55 in length. Appreciate any insight from some of you veterans |

I know the 10" is too long for my SiCo ASR mount.
I bought the 9" varient from WS. I eventually swapped out the rail for an MK8 9.5". The DD rail was too narrow to use with the Sentry 7 gas block I installed. You will find that the DD 10.3" barrels are very overgassed. |

I don't 100% understand your MK18 reference but yes, those are 9.55" and will clear all mounts with a 10.3" barrel The Western Sport DD 10.3" uppers don't use the RIS II. They use DD Lights & Omega X's. The also don't have the obnoxious laser engraving on the DD upper. |

The reference to the RIS II was simply out of relation to the lengths, as I knew the 9.55 did work with most cans. What im curious to is if there are any problems with the 10.0 lite rail.. Thanks |

Thanks I don't own a DD lite rail but if I remember correctly the 10" is to long, actually in most cases a 10" rail of most kinds will be longer than the 10.3" barrel and cause issues with most suppressors being mounted. |
