I'm especially glad to hear this.
Since it's been brought up recently, is there any chance you have a VFG in the works?

I am eagerly awaiting the heat shield and rail covers.
A quick mock-up got me to about 4", but it depends on your muzzle device and barrel. Some 16" marked barrels are actually a tiny bit longer than 16".
It's not that difficult to figure it out for yourself.
16" barrel - 13.5" rail + (length of muzzle device. Usually 1.75") - ~3/4" of threads = ~3-4in
I meant in the sense of wondering whether or not I would be able to fit a MB556AR on there(reflex mount). I know it will be close, maybe right on the threshold of working.

Crazy idea here, but why hasn't a mount that flush-mounts a Surefire x300 to a slick rail system (like the NSR) been invented? I.e. a mount that would replace the factory base (like the LaRue Tactical mount) and allow a more streamlined mounting to a slick rail. Maybe I'm just dumb and the 12 o'clock mounting of an x300 is the way to go-I don't know, as I have no experience with the x300 or any directly rail mounted light like that.
I just wanted to brag and say I received my 12.5" upper today with the 11" NSR, MUR upper and surefire flash hider!
I really like the diameter and the feel of the rail...it is rock solid (as to be expected). Put an X300 at 12:00 in front of a DD fixed front sight and MBUS rear. Aimpoint T-1 next with Larue mount...running an MS3 and thats it.
this is a work rifle.
Pics and hopefully shooting tomorrow.
is the 15" rail still coming out or has that been canned?
7", 9", 11", 13.5", and 16.7" are planned.
