SHOT Show 2015 Pictures (From SMGLee)

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.

I believe the rear section of the rail closest to the receiver has extended material, anti-rotation "areas", maybe with set screws as well from the pics above. In conjunction with the mounting system, barrel nut: grooved for the cross bolt assembly, I dont see this rail moving. Looks to be a solid setup, as is all of Geissele's products.

Does anyone know if this system will be offered in a AR15 12" length?

While it looks pretty F'n BA, it also looks like it weighs half a ton.

I might have to pass even though I like most everything about this handguard. I asked whether or not bolt on plastic covers would be available and they stated that they were not needed because of the smoothed edges. I could care less about sharp edges, I shoot often with the handguard against abrasive stuff concrete and metal both of which would scratch the hell out of the nice smoothed out edges. I might have to look at the NSR which comes with true accessory support.

"Not needed?"
You can always bolt on pic rails

Yes Im rather disappointed. I guess you could bolt on rail panels then put rail covers on them.

Any plans on making polymer bolt on panels for the handguards?

At this time there are no plans for a polymer bolt-on panel. Our rails have contoured, rounded edges so there is no need for them. They will ship with two bolt-on picatinny rails.

I hope Geissele changes his mind about this. I think both LaRue and Noveske got it right by offering the covers for their slick rails.

As evidenced by the hk416 origin of the rail, intended for professional users, cosmetics not a consideration.

True, but when I pay for stuff with my own dime I like to keep the wear and tear at a minimum.
