SHOT Show 2015 Pictures (From SMGLee)

Just to expand on this, the design change was driven by end-user requests. I met with Bill yesterday and shared the feelings some of you have shared regarding the original design. He was receptive to it but you may want to hit up the Geissele facebook page and share your thoughts with him.

I get why he made the changes but if he had the MK3 & MK4 in the works, wouldn't it have been easier to apply those changes only to them instead of the entire line up? I like Geissele's products but it's unfortunate some of us won't be able to run an Mk1 like the one on The Jack.

I received this information from Stan at Geissele yesterday regarding SMR widths. Thought it may be helpful to others.

"Mk1 1.777
Mk2 1.913
Mk3 1.952
Mk4 2.105 at the end (where accessory rails are), 1.871 body of rail"

I would like to buy a Geissele SMR MK1 13" Black Mod.0

This means it has full "wings" on it and the cut outs at the 4 and 8 o'clock positions are elongated and not the new "pear shape" as seen on the SMR MK.4

The style in this thread is what I am looking for:

If any one can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

Unfortunately, I think the only ones that you'll find are used as there are no MK1 Mod 0 at the shop. I've relayed comments regarding the rail back to Mr. Geissele regarding this so he is aware.

Grabbed this from the shop earlier this week - 10" MK1 Mod 1 Sand



13" MK1 Mod 1 Black

A few of these rails that are popping up in the pic thread are showing a VERY copper/orange color to them. Is that just a white balance/screen issue for me or what?

I will get you the specs

Yeah, I hate to say it, but the new reddish color looks pretty awful. I wonder what the story is on that.

I know used is my best chance, I also posted in the EE and the "where can I get it thread"

I really hope a production run is done in the future of a MK.1 that is more reminiscent of the 416 rail done for Delta.

I understand the new cut outs are lighter, but much like the end user the 416 rail was made for I don't care as much about weight as I do strength. I am sure the new cut outs are strong too, but based on physics they can't 'as strong'.

I also really liked the symmetry of the original design. I think the new cut outs really have their place on the MK.4 where it is all about weight savings, but I am kicking myself for not jumping on the original MK.1. Had I known about the changes I would have jumped on it, but wrongly figured I could just get one later on.

Oh, well. Hopefully an original will come up for sale at some point!
