I don't...I was hoping you would enlighten the members on why it was not useful?

I think these are round, not oval - right?
What I'd personally like to see in a drop-in rail: something the same cylindrical diameter as an A2 corncob except for a taller built-in top rail that spans the Delta ring gap and that has well-designed mountings on the sides and bottom for optional rail sections, plus at 1:30 and 10:30 for short rail segments to mount lights. I find most quads to be uncomfortably large, and my TRX-E is a smidge too thin. I think the 2"-2.25" A2 diameter is just about perfect...
you don't mount optics on the handguard, generally speaking, and you certainly dont do it on drop-in guards. you'd likely have some trouble holding zero. because of this, and because optics are really the only thing you'd ever want to mount in that particular spot, filling the gap is pretty pointless.
somebody else mentioned the extra coverage keeps soot off his aimpoint- i've never experienced that, or if i did, i didn't know it- but that would be a perfectly good reason to want the gap piece.
Thanks for the info on this rail guys.
Something I just noticed, no QD swivel mount. Oh well, they make add ons.
It may just be a looks thing, kinda like how even magpul trigger guards
even put in their description "fills the annoying "gap" at the rear of the standard trigger guard".
It could even be mere aerodynamics. lol
It's a great idea. I too am surprised DD didn't do this sooner. Hopefully they will expand to include 9.0 rails for the Middy.
Hopefully somebody will mount a RDS on it and see if it holds zero. :D
