I've been considering the troy alpha or MI SS gen 2. Would either of these be stable enough for those that combine thumb over bore methodology with a handy sling style? I use the Ares amentum slider sling with the connection point on the support side all the way forward on my dd 12 lite rail. It works great but I'm just wanting to transition to something lighter and slimmer.
Deft,
I run the same sling attached at same location as you, on a rainier arms evo hand guard. Slim profile and triangular holes everywhere make thumb over grip feel very natural and stable. Cannot comment on mi or alpha. That sling is so under rated, yet great!

I'll chime in for the EVO. I'm liking it very much. Rock solid, easy install, and nice price. One thing to keep in mind with the EVO, the Samson version allows you to mount rail sections in 45 degree offsets. The Rainier version does not.

In my opinion the NSR is the best for the following reasons: They are the slimmest, the lightest, most versatile, and they are strong as hell.
And they are the only ones I know of that have direct mounted rail panels.
I had given a lot of thought to that rail but didn't get to handle one. I think what won me out on he URX III was the front sight integration and the heat shield.

I'm a URX3 convert myself; it feels great in the hand. I only added rail sections on the sides and left the bottom bare; when I did an 84 round dump I could still hold the rail comfortably.

Any experiences with the JP V-Tac tube?
I have used the Gen 1 and the Gen 2. I still have a 16" midlength with a Gen 2 JP/Vtac rail. I still love it (Once again, I use IWC Mount-n-slot acc. and have no rails on it other than the one at 12 o'clock.)
The advantage of a Troy alpha over the JP is the ease of assembly. The JP is a bit fatter, but still a very nice option.
FUNDAMENTALS: A crutch for the talentless
Yes, had one and liked it well enough. Can't really speak to the weight and durability aspects though... at the time I was only concerned with free floating a psuedo-precision rifle.
But try one out before you commit, if you can. The tube itself attaches to an "outer nut" that needs to be red-loctited to the upper receiver. I wanted to try something else on that rifle and then found out that removing that nut is more of a PITA than I'll care to do again. I sold it off.
