Like the title says... help me pick a rail for my 300 BLK. It's being built on a matched set AR15.com upper/lower in the FDE finish only available to preorders. (Picking that up tonight, and very excited!  )
I'll have an 8" Grim Reaper barrel on it, and a Liberty Freedom suppressor. OD on the Freedom is 1.5", it's 10" long. I'd like to have a rail/handguard that the suppressor slides under. I can't decide on length, if I just want a 10" so it slides under a little bit or if I want like a 15" so there's only 3" sticking out past the rail. I think the 15" would look the best, but I also don't want to defeat the purpose of SBR'ing a lower by putting a giant rail on the front of it. So, I don't know what I really want. I was thinking about Seekins/Spikes BAR, Rainier Evolution, a couple other ones... what do you guys think would be the best? Bonus point if it comes in FDE and I don't have to Cerakote it |
| The Midwest Industries FDE 15" rail is a good option for your needs. http://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=373 |
Just got my upper/lower set. Here's a pic: That MI rail looks pretty good, I hadn't seen that one before. Anyone know if the rifle would be ridiculously front heavy with a 24 oz can and a 15" rail? Already have a UBR stock, which is pretty heavy to balance it out, but I don't know if that's enough. |

My badd, forgot we're in the SBR section...just read over your op again, I was thinking 24oz can on the end of the 15" rail...might not be too front heavy with the UBR as you have planned??
I have a 10.5" 5.56mm with a LaRue 9" and M4-2K that had an UBR on it, was just too heavy overall for my liking. But, it also has a heavy TA-11 ACOG on it, now has a SOPMOD stock on it...a lot lighter, but still on the heavy side?? That's what I was basing my opinion on? teamroper |

Look at the Troy TRXs in FDE too.
I had a digital desert set of Stag receivers and the Troy FDE matched them almost perfectly. It wasn't digital. I sold them to get a LMT 10.5" complete upper but was planning on using the 11" TRX VTAC and the rest of the gun be black. You'd probably have a nice setup with the MI also. If I were building it, and I am going to do one similar to yours, I'd look hard at the 7.2 TRX or 7" Alpha from Troy. |

I think I am gonna go with a ~7" rail for now, since both my form 4 for my can and my form 1 for my sbr won't be back for months. |
