Yep I have a vertical mill. I'd already thought about it but just a little apprehensive drilling into a new Noveske upper.
You know AR parts seem to be made out of gold these days...when you can find them :)

I am not the least bit concerned with my NSR's barrel/rail nut coming loose. To those who are concerned about it and for what ever reason don't want to pin it, here might me another option for you. It looks like you could use one of these to straddle the rail and upper receiver and they are both under an ounce in weight. Also, you might have to adjust where you run your RDS or scope mount. Depending on the color the prices vary from $36-$39 .

The new IWC sling mount may be a good option to lock it down like that and it would still be functional and low profile.
It would be stronger with two screws but may bring the sling back a little too far for some though.

I've been told the 4 rail pic section is replacing the 5 rail.
Does anyone know if this is wide enough for an Atlas bipod with the screw clamp and/or the American Defense QD mount?

Following up on this information I heard back from Magpul today. In a nutshell they said they "are not releasing any information on projects that may or may not be in the works." They went on to say to keep an eye on their website for news and updates. So it looks like those of us who'd like to try out a VFG or stubby on our NSR rails are SOL, at least for the time being.
This thread is so damn long as to be difficult to keep track of all of the info it contains...:)
The Magpul RVG mounts directly to the NSR with its supplied low profile rail section, and it is a slick as any NSR-specific VFG will probably be. That said, it is a PIA to install that rail because the nuts aren't captured like on the NSR rail sections.
I found the struggle to be worth the result, however. It is much nicer than using a VFG mounted on an NSR rail section.
The best VFG would incorporate the NSR hardware, but the RFG is a decent option in the meantime.
just released my NSR handguard writeup - detailed pics and descriptions:
