Vltor CASV-M vs. other options
I am looking for some opinions on the Vltor CASV-M vs some other options out there. The other rails im interested in are: Larue 10", DD M4 10.0 (I thought DD made a 10.0 lite or was that a screw up on my part?). The upper in question has a 12.5" barrel and a muzzle mounted suppressor (not reflex).
One of my main potential problems with the Vltor CASV-m is the rail. My rear iron would still work but i would need to figure out something for the front as it doesnt look like my Troy sight will cooperate. Im also not wild about the sight that you can get with it. It would also mean leaving off my magnifier and taking the spacer out of my aimpoint mount. It just seems with that handguard i would have to "make it work" if that makes sence.
What does the DD MK18 RIS II offer over the other rails if i dont plan to own a 203? Also does it come in basic black? I only see tan on the site. DD is about 4 or 5 hours from me so it would almost be worth me driving there if i could see the place and get the handguard too.
Another option is the SWS rail but i would really prefer a 10" over a 9" midlength. Have any of you done their custom work option? If so what did you have done and what were some rough prices? Do you ever find your fingers getting to the barrel or is it pretty well protected?
Thanks for any help.
