You don't "have to" drill a hole in your upper receiver to install a Noveske/SWS rail. I just installed a take off Noveske/SWS rail on my 16" .300 BLK upper. I didn't drill a hole in the upper and didn't use the pin Noveske had on it when it was on the Noveske/VLTOR MUR1 upper.

I think he's talking about the NSR.

Or does the current Noveske/SWS use the same mechanism?

[montrala]

Not correct.

Will Geissele told me that there was no room on the M4 rail for a 45 deg swivel. However, a bolt on one will be available for the rail.

Anyway, can't wait to get one for my next project

I stand corrected

However my interest is in 416 rail, but longer (like 13-14").

I want to scream every time I see the MFR and think about my RISII.


Why why why didn't they do that??

I felt the same way but it's a cheaper rail. If they would've made it with the Lite/RIS mounting system, it would've probably cost upwards of $300 just due to the popularity. It would be a DD Lite-Lite. It also has anti-rotation tabs which I never understood why DD didn't bring over from the RIS to the Lite rails. One downside vs this rail and the Noveske is there isn't an improved accessory mounting system over any other slick tubes. Lack of QD cups and having to buy them aftermarket is odd.

I think he's talking about the NSR.

Or does the current Noveske/SWS use the same mechanism?

I think the pin will be optional or maybe not even available when the rail is sold separately. Todd K. says their current M4 uppers don't have the pin.

The Geissele rail is said to be anti-rotational but I fail to see how that could be. I don't see any feature regardless of the cross-bolts or how securely it attaches to the barrel nut that would fully prevent rotation. It wouldn't be a concern of mine but that is just a claim that I don't believe can be substantiated. That's like saying my DD Lite has anti-rotation.

any more news about release of these rails?

[jpmuscle]

The fact that this is expected to be released in a 15" version has peaked my interest. I love my 14" DD lite but I wish it was a smidge longer

[LEXUSF]

If they can keep the weight down I might have to ditch my DD rails for these.

[jpmuscle]

Looks pretty good. Beefy as hell to boot. This and the nsr will make nice editions to the AR platform.

Atleast it appears to come with a decent qualty barrel wrench lol
