Troy is finally shipping the Delta Battle Rails.
These are supposed to be free floating and require no modifications to the host weapon. No cutting of the Delta ring.

Has anyone actually handled one of these yet?
I'm curious about how well they lock up on the gun, the size and the weight.
wondering the same thing....tagged

I gotta agree with you.
And the "bolt every p.o.s. in the Magpul catalog on a MOE handguard"...

I guess I must be one of those faggy tube handguard fanboys but I find that the tubular handguard works well in in an aggressive stance, helping my get my support hand out there for better control of the weapon. I obviously don't know shit about shooting though and am following a fad. Real shooters don't use tubular handguards nor do they bolt on anything to Magpul handguards.

Anything not made out of wood and steel is for faddish pussies. RDSs' are a hoax. LWRC employees eat babies. If you own a tubular handguard, you might as well have a rainbow sticker on your vehicle.
That should cover most of markm's incoherent rantings for now.

You're using a tube handguard in a way that makes sense.
I see a lot of tube handguards with shit bolted all over 'em with an AFG or VFG, usually with the shooter hanging on to the magwell anyway. What's the point there?

Would it be better if they had said shit bolted onto a more conventional style handguard? Are we really nitpicking over the shape of a handguard here?
I think this thread has hastily run its course.

I disagree. It could definitely use a course correction, but I would still like to know what those who have used the Delta rail think of it.

Fad or improvement? Or maybe the original quad rails with rails all over were the Fad?......Only time will tell right? Why do we even care? As long as it works well for you, why does it matter?
The Delta Rail seems like a good device for people who can't modify their weapons by an armorer. Since we haven't gotten any real meaningful replies, my guess is no one's used one yet. Although not as low profile as the Alpha or TRX, the handling characteristics should be at least somewhat if not very similar.

I don't know which is worse the moron who started the anti-tube comments or the other f*ckn morons who responded to him. BTW take your homo bullshit to pm.
So do any ADULTS have info on the Troy rail?
Whoa... Look out for this guy....
I'm kinda curious about Troy adding what looks like another lockup bolt to the barrel nut area and whether or not it adds structural integrity. Furthermore, if it does, will it find it's way onto the Alpha tube?

not sure how to answer this:i already have one(alpha rail-new style) on another build.there are lock up wedges that secure to the barrel nut as you implied.it is very sturdy and completely free floats the barrel.as to structural integrity,i don`t know what it may do if anything.

No, you probably will not see it on the Alpha rails.
Why?
The Delta rail is a two-piece rail system, and you need those extra bolts to hold it together and maintain the zero on the top rail.
This is a problem you don't have to worry about on the Alpha rails, as they are one-piece.
Ah. I see now.
I had it going together differently in my head. Thinking of it now, it wouldn't work like I had it figured without removing the FSB.
I see now its a clamshell/lateral seem tube.
NEWSFLASH- if you don't like a particular handguard or rail then that's your problem. But, don't start shitting all over someone elses thread. Let's keep this on track, shall we?

I got a hand guard on my carbine, but I like the idea of the free float on a "tack driver" soon I want an ar like that so I am interested in this as well. Hope that did not sound too gay.
My friend is a Troy distributor. He does not have any yet. I am looking to build a light weight upper with a front sight post and the Delta looked promising except for the D-ring issue.
On another note, I have seen the Alpha, Bravo and Delta....
What happened to Charlie?
I'm digging it....just put it on:

i love it. don't know the weight (i would bet its a tad heavier than a 13" alpha rail), but it definitely feels light. the clamping system is rock-solid.
I like mine, I only have had it out to the range once. Locks up tight and easy to install, though for some reason it makes me want to rest my left thumb on the fsb when I use a short vertical grip.

I just ordered the Troy Charlie rail from Primary Arms and it will arrive on Friday. I have yet to see any real reviews or specs on this rail so I will be posting some info about it when I get it and another after I shoot with it. I was torn between the Charlie and Delta rail but I went with the Charlie because it was in stock. I know that this isn't the way to purchase things but honestly it was all I could do to feed my addiction to add accessories to my Colt LE6920. I have a cheap reflex sight (Sightmark) on it that has 4 reticles and so far has held up very well. I am very excited about getng this rail system for its looks and also functionality. I was also looking at the Samson EVO extended system but I didn't want to have to take off thr bayonet lug which I was told by Samson that I would have to do. I have no tools and usually just take my weapons to a local gunsmith who only charges $30 for 1/2 hour. I will probably do the same for this even though it is pretty straightforward. All I need to have done is remove the swivel and attach to the existing barrel nut. Anyways, I will post after I receive it and let you know whatits like. I can't believe I can't fin any reviews other than the Troy video that doesn't tell much.
Any more input on the Troy Delta rail? I'm looking at FSB cutout rails and think it's between the Troy Delta and the Centurion C4.

I had it put on 3 days ago and I love it! It looks great but I haven't shot it yet. The rail feels incredibly solid as in it does not even budge which I and everyone else was worried about. I had a local gun shop put it on because I could t take off the front swivel sling. I figured I would just have them put it on while they were at it. They charged me $45 which seemed more than reasonable. I liked knowing it was installed by a pro and not by someone who knows little about modifications, like myself! The only thing that had me thinking about getting the Delta was the weight of it. It doesn't say anywhere that I could find how much it weighs. I called Troy and they said the Charlie was 24oz vs 13oz for the Delta. It is a noticeable difference but unless you plan on walking around with it for long periods of time, like from your house to wherever the meeting place would be in the event of zombie apocalypse, you should be good. I will follow up after I take it to the range but it looks and feels incredible. I would post a pic but I don't know how. It keeps asking for a url and I have it on my phone in the picture album. Any suggestions?
Has anyone shot/ran a course with this ? I am a fan and would like any feedback before I purchase.

Is there any play or movement once installed?
I got mine in about a week ago. The deltarail is AWESOME. Lightweight, easy to install, streamlined. Seriously, get this rail!
Ill post pics when i can get some. Too much snow outside.
I've been using one for about 4 months now.
http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/1383/cimg3231h.jpg
Pretty happy with it overall, but the front end where the FSB is tends to get pretty hot. The Delta rail doesn't provide much heat protection. Other than that, love this thing.
I just got my Delta rail this past week. Installed VERY easily and quickly. Mounted my TLR-1 in front of the front sight just like Kilo's pic. The only thing I need to add is a front sling mount and then keep it slick. I don't need the quad rail cheese grater or any other bolt on accessories.
There's no movement that I can tell, but I haven't taken it shooting yet and since I don't have the sling installed can't tell how it'll impact my accuracy when using the sling (yes I'm a old school sling shooter). I've got an Appleseed Known Distance shoot next month so will know more about that at 400 meters.
Thanks to sdelam and Kilo for their photos/comments and the comments from other Delta rail owners. I'll be picking one of these up soon, now.
I think the tube is a natural evolution of the railed handguard. Most guys buy curved rail protectors that effectively turn their railed handguards into a tube.
The fact is, you only want rails where something is attached, because they are uncomfortable to hold on to, so these new modular tubes are great. Put rails where you need them, save the weight, and have a more comfortable hand guard.
I would challenge anybody to point out something that a full railed hand guard can do that a tube with removable rails cant.
I'd love to see the middy version of this rail on a 14.5" pinned upper. wonder how much barrel, if any will stick out the front.
nothin wrong w/ tube handguards baby, diversity!
Here's pics of mine before I sold it :-( :

Definitely a great rail. The next carbine length rail that I buy will be this one again for sure.
I picked one up the other week, as standard Troy quality, flawless. I haven't installed it yet as I'm off to another base conducting some training for the upcoming deployment and my carbine was sent off to maits to get a few little things fixed, bolt catch spring was weak and likely broken, safety selector switch reall tight and gritty, and I asked for them to remove the front sling mount. Hopefully the carbine is all ready for me when I get back in about a week, plan on installing the rail along with my PEQ 15, and weapon light if they've come in yet. I'll take some pics and post them up once I get a chance.

I put a Delta Rail on my Colt 6920. So far I like it. Locks up very tight and solid. Ran a few rounds through it and so far so good. It adds a good balance to the rifle and is not heavy. I am undecided on whether or not I prefer it over the VLTOR CASV-EL. I do like the fact that I can use an MBUS with it. The CASV is not compatible with the MBUS. I also like that I can use my iron sights with this and my Eotech. The CASV makes the optic sit so high as to make the irons unusable without removing the opic.
I just need to get use to the round shape.

Any updates on the rail? Or does anyone else have firsthand experience that they would like to share?
No update yet, I'm back from that particular training but I fall under 1st Army at the moment and they are being super anal about weapon mods, my LTC had swapped his pistol grip, they didn't know it was his rifle, and wanted to know who's it was so they could give the offending soldier an Article 15.
Thus, I haven't installed the rail yet and looks like I won't until we get out form under 1st Army's command (retarded I know) I tried to put it on in the barracks just to see how it looked and felt but I couldn't get it installed without taking off the front sling swivel and have kept that on to keep 1st Army from jumping up my ass on that.
Total FUBAR
We shall see how they react when we start training in full kit and I show up in my PIG instead of the KDH abomination or the IOTV they issued to me.

Hi. In a nutshell, I'm wondering if you had it to do over again, would you choose the Troy Delta again.
Has the mount been solid and reliable?
And if so, does that include sling use (I mean, is the mount solid enough to allow tension to be applied to an attached sling without compromising the hand guard's stability).
ETA: Also, did you see any notable improvements in accuracy?
Do you know by any chance how much it weights?

On that note, I actually think that the PRI Gen III Delta free float hanguards are pretty sweet. If I wasn't keeping my fsb, that would be a serious contender. It has a triangular profile.
But what is it exactly that offends about "tubes" ? And is this in reference to any handguard that isn't a quad rail?

I see. :)
Hi. In a nutshell, I'm wondering if you had it to do over again, would you choose the Troy Delta again.
all things considered, yeah I would. honestly, my choice was between this rail and the Centurion cut-out rail. i went with the delta because (a) it was cheaper, (b) i didn't need the extra rail space, and (c) i didn't have to cut off the delta-ring and spring
Has the mount been solid and reliable?
yes, as far as i can tell, its the same mounting system as the alpha. after i installed it, i was twisting and torquing on it and i thought it was moving, but it was actually slack in the upper/lower mating, so this thing is GTG. if you like and trust the alpha line of rails, you can trust the delta
And if so, does that include sling use (I mean, is the mount solid enough to allow tension to be applied to an attached sling without compromising the hand guard's stability).
i don't know for certain, but there is a QD sling mount on the front 1/3 of the rail, so i would assume so. if i can ever remember to throw a QD sling attachment in my cart when i order parts, i'll let you know for certain. but i have faith it will.
ETA: Also, did you see any notable improvements in accuracy?
over a non-FF rail, yes. i had the Magpul MOE handguards on there before and with the troy rail, my groups tightened up. now, i am by no means a great shot, so take this with a grain of salt. but i was able to hit a 6" steel circle at 421 yards in 30 shots with irons (much the chagrin of my buddy who bet me i couldn't) :D but that could've been more "blind luck" than me or the FF rail.
here's my summary of the delta rail. if you don't want to (or can't) cut your fsp/delta-ring or install a low-pro, this rail is GTG.
Do you know by any chance how much it weights?
no idea, but i would guess its close to the alpha or bravo weights. if i had to guess i would say ~13-14oz

That is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much for taking the time, I appreciate it !!!!

I haven't owned the Troy Delta but looking at the way it mounts it sure looks alot stronger than the Omega Rail. I have owned a Daniel Defense Omega Rail. I had an Omega on one of my BCM BFH 16" mid-length carbines. The Omega Rail has four small hex head screws which free float the rail once you tighten them down. I used loctite on them as the instructions say but a few weeks after installing the rail it came loose while running it hard. I applied more loctite and tightened the screws again but it came loose again running it hard and i took it off.
I recently bought another BCM BFH 16" and wanted to put a Troy Delta on it but they were out of stock so i'll use a MOE hand guard for now. If the Troy isn't available soon then i'll buy a Centurion C4.

I have both the Troy Delta and a DD Omega. Both mount around and to the barrel nut.
The Omega is held in place by 4 set screws that press against the face of the barrel nut and by the upper and lower halves of the handguard. It is solid enough for rough use IMHO and I have never had one work loose.
http://www.weaponevolution.com/forum/showthread.php?65-Daniel-Defense-OMEGA-Rail-install-guide-and-pictorial-review
The Troy uses two plates that rest on top of the barrel with threaded holes in them that wedge themselves under the barrel nut and barrel. You position them so that the holes are roughly the 2 - 4 and 8 -10 o'clock positions. The handguard halves goes over the barrel nut and screws go through the handguard halves into these plates. The Troy contacts more surface area than the Omega but it actually comes in contact with the barrel. Granted it is immediately infront of the barrel nut and should not impart much in the way of flex into the barrel. The Omega only comes into contact with the barrel nut.
https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?p=1550834
I think the Troy is a more sturdy way to do this but both are a compromise for not having to cut the Delta Ring and spring off your rifle.
I am having a difficult time getting use to it the longer I have the Troy. The tubular shape just is not for me. I am going to sell it to fund a CASV which I have used in the past and really like.
I have the DD Omega on a BCM and the Troy Delta Rail on an LMT. My friend has a Delta Rail on a Spikes.
From our experience of the 3 rails, the DD Omega is much more rigid mounting than the Troy Delta. If you hold onto the barrel and try to flex the rail it's fairly easy for it touch the bayonet lug on either of the Troy's. The DD barely moves at all. I actually spoke to Troy about this and they said the Delta rail is not as rigid mounting as the Alpha. I have an Alpha and I'd have to agree (user installed). We went over the mounting with Troy to make sure we weren't screwing it up and it seems correct. This is sample size of 3 so ymmv.

In your experience was the amount of flex enough to effect the zero in the course of normal use?
In your experience was the amount of flex enough to effect the zero in the course of normal use?
I shot a Vickers course this week, with this rail on my 6920, and I don't feel that it affected my zero at all. My technique was the limiting factor, not the rail.
I only see the flex being an issue if you have the exposed barrel resting on something independent of the rail.
While I'm quite new to all of this, I was very pleased with it.
We haven't noticed any zero change but we haven't done any precision work with it either.
Alright, got the rail installed (after 1st Army finished T.I. it) haven't shot with it yet, won't until I get in country in a few weeks, but here is a pic of the gun pretty much all set up. sorry about the kind of dark, blurry cell phone pic.

Bumping this old thread to ask about shorter barrels and this type of rail. How short can a fellow go and still make proper use of a 51T flash hider and AAC suppressor?

Dont have any AAC FHs anymore but do have a delta mid length on a 16" Noveske and can take measurements tonight.

Not much left with the mid, the carbine gas probably has much more room to shorten the barrel.

You need .75 inches clearance.
On a carbine length gas system with a GI front sight base, how short can I cut the barrel and still use the 51T? Is a 12.5" barrel too short?

This is from the net, 14.5 carbine Delta. My money says 12.5 is too short. Just chop the front off!

Go with Centurion or MI......stay away from Troy and go with more 2A friendly companies. I have the delta rail and regret buying it ever since.
