I'm not exactly sure how to phrase this question. I'm thinking of using a 14 inch barrel from Clint with a 13" Mk 14 Geissele rail. I'd like to pin a Surefire muzzle brake for the suppressor mount, and I'm wondering if this combo works out:

14" Black River Tactical barrel
13" Mk 14 rail
Surefire 5.56 1/2x28 Muzzle Brake

I've tried Googling but the closest I can come up with is finding a flash hider mount that barely clears the rail.

It would work. One of my rifles has a 14" Ballistic Advantage barrel with a 13" Mk14 rail and it clears just fine.

I even have an 11.5" barrel with 10.75" Hodge rail and a 10.3" barrel with 9.5" Mk14 rail and those both clear fine.

As you can see there's plenty of clearance with the 14" barrel.

Much appreciated! I'll order the barrel asap!

(Excellent looking builds, by the way!)
