Will this setup be alright? I plan on running a PWS FSC556 on the front end. Will I have any problems?

I'm not anywhere near my rifle right now but I seem to remember my 12" Lite Rail runs about 12.5". I had a 14 on a 14.5" LMT upper and it was pretty damned close to the flash hider. As long as you don't get your mitts too far forward they shouldn't catch much blast. My 14" rail looked like this

should work as long as you don't plan on using a can.

The DD 12" rail runs more like 12.3". Mine ended up looking like this on the 12.5" barrel.

I decided to have mine cut like in the following image to have more access to the brake and help minimize muzzle blast on the rail.

That threw me for a loop there Dozer, that's a Kino type setup yeah? The FSPM had me a little confused for a second.

Anyway Rated21R, I think 10 would be plenty for your setup. A touch cheaper and it'll let you run a can if you want. I sure wish I lived in a free state so I could use one.

It's a Kino. The 10" is a great choice.
