    Actually the traditional "Rep" needs to know his stuff more than a regular salesman. He is representing his company. So if he does not possess knowledge of his own products, this reflects badly on the company. I don't consider it a pejorative term like you do.

    Anyway enough of this thread derailing. I am excited about any new product that will bring the quality level up across the board and will wait for specs of these rails to be released by BCM.

    How about we stop with all the bullshit and just discuss what's known. I know why companies are reluctant to say or post anything about products. People go crazy and act like wild hyenas.

    Isn't magnesium flammable? Cause for concern?

    Don't blowtorch your rail and you won't have to worry.

    Try and ignite a block of magnesium sometime. It's tougher than you think.

    Agree. It's a rail for Christ's sake, not a new space shuttle.

    I use a troy alpha tube, with a mount and slot QD swivel, a magpul VFG directly mounted to the tube, and a jetbeam BC10 in a gear sector e series mount at 12. I don't use any additional rail sections. I can't claim to know enough about the weight to say it would be heavier or lighter than my current setup, but I'd assume heavier.

    Assuming no weight savings and with the knowledge I have no problem removing my tube, why would something like this benefit me?




    As for the magnesium thing, there is plenty of it in older VW engines and I've seen them get bored out without catching fire. Nobody is heating their rail more than that.

    You must not deal with firearms industry reps much. Many of the large companies higher marketing/PR firms to run their FB and forum sections. These people know very little about the product, don't shoot and are generally NOT gun guys from my experience.

    So yes a "rep" is SUPPOSED to know his "stuff", but that is rarely the case in this industry from my experience.

    Knowing what little I know, the BCM rail will be lighter than what you are using now and probably have less flex in it.

    Is that worth it to you? I cannot answer that question.

    Hyenas deserve more respect that to be compared with internut forum product speculators.
