10" Handguards
Beside Troy and Samson, who else manufactures 10" railed handguards?

Yep, you're right. I'm asking because I want to combine the new VLTOR MUR with a 10" railed handguard. Troy was my first choice but seems that the aligment tabs will not fit the new dimensionns of the MUR. KAC's a way overpriced compared to Troy/Samson! Any other else?

I prefer the Troy over anyone right now. But I'm kinda parital. However, I can not wait to try out the MUR and Diff. Rails. Has anyone confirmed whether or not the Troy MRF will not fit on a MUR becuase if the allignment tabs ?

SinnFéinM1911,
I like the idea of saving $100+ for the Troy over the DD too. If you look closely at a regular upper receiver at the place where the aligment tabs fit, there are a left and right concavities where the tabs fit. The VLTOR MUR does not have this concavities. The length from left to right of a normal upper receiver is 7/8" and the length between the Troy tabs is 15/16" letting 1/32" of play between the receiver and the handguard. I believe if you want to fit a Troy MRF on the MUR you'll have to file the tabs and I'm not inclined to do so. I already placed an order for one MUR. As soon as I receive it I'll let you know if the Troy MRF fit in it.

Just wanted to update you guys... As soon as the 10" Lite Rails hit the market I'll be building another BCM 11.5" with it and all the same accessories. Well, it may have the Short Dot in a lighter mounting solution and another (the ultimate) aiming accessory up front if I can get a TD VFG that'll work with the pressure pad. KevinB knows of what I speak 
I'm gonna give the new camera a workout

Received my MUR today...SWEEEET!!! Now I want to replace all my previous uppers with MUR's 
I'm also inclined to Troy rails but sadly it won't fit the MUR because of the aligment tabs. I'm considering one of the following modifications in the Troy to fit it with the MUR unless someone here convince me its nuts to do so:
1. File each aligment tabs 1/16" in the inner part. Refinish with blueing solution.
2. Or, just cut the aligment tabs at all and install it mith the MUR. Obviously refinish it with blueing solution. I have a buddy who owns a S&W new AR and the Troy rails just fit rock solid so I'm wondering the aligment tabs are just for ALIGMENT at all, they dont have anything to do with the attachment of the rail.
I'm waiting for a Noveske 10.5" so I have a couple of days (or weeks  ) to think about it.
I was considering also the DD Lite but it cost $127 more and it needs a special $35 tool to install it ONCE and then keep the tool in my parts box for eternity...
Any comments before I mutilate a brand new MRF-MX.

Dude,
They are both great stuff, even though I used to work for Troy. BUT if it came to $100 dif for me and a matter for 15 mins of filing and a little bit of aluminium black... Its good to go !
Either way its a hell of a set up. You cant go wrong with Troy or DD !!! BY FAR the Top two on the market and easiest to install !
