I checked Vltor's site and it looks to be the same size as a VST 1, but without the QD sockets. Anyone with dimensions of the VST so I can check it against the opening of the DD rail?

Any updates? I like the look of the Vltor unit.
Sorry for digging up this old thread but I couldn't find anything more recent that is on topic. :help:
Has anyone found another option in the last 2 years? I would like to find a gas block/flip up sight combo that sits flush with the top of the rail (when folded down) and does not require modifications to the rail.
Thanks!! :thank_you2:

I did end up installing the Vltor VST-2C on my friends DDM4 a while back. Worked fine without modification. I will see if I can snap a pic of it for you guys.
What am I missing here? What do you gain with this over a contiguous rail with a rail-mounted flip sight and low-pro gas block (under the rail)?
The cons I see are that all of these are screwed, not pinned, gas block/sights. You're also having to mod the rail.
Again, why not just get a contiguous rail and mount a flip to it?
