Question about the RAS II

[popodaman]

Does the top rail affix to the barrel nut at any point? Or does it just attach at the rail with little hump over the receiver?

I am looking to get a FF do it yourself kind of HandGuard and was looking at the Knights or the Omega Rail. I don't really want to go the route of the CAS-V, although it's a great system.

Thanks

The RAS 2 has a clamp that grabs the bbl nut at the 12 o'clock rail, the 6 o'clock rail with a screw on each and has the hump which bridges the rail and receiver together with a single screw, it free floats well. It's a good rail. If you don't want the hump get the DD Omega, also a great rail and is slimmer side to side than the RAS2.

Thanks for the answer. I have never had the chance to look at the RAS II. I am putting a rail on a N4 for a Patrol Carbine and was just trying to narrow the down the Omega and the Knights.

I like the sling swivel hole that comes in the Omega. One less thing to buy.

The Vltor CASV-EL works well also with a few more mounting options.

I would get the DD OMEGA
