As promised, here are the photos of the MK4 13" Mod 1. If I get around to it, I'll try to get some mounted images.

Can I have it???...love it and congrats on the you suck award of the week.

I've been studying those recent production pics, comparing them with TRIDENT82's "prototype". I was hooked on this setup as inspiration for my next build.
Can you point out changes that were made to the prototype? I see little things here and there, such as the shape of the holes machined into the lower part of the handguard. Hopefully you can get some pics of the 13" sand mk4 mounted
Product page is now up on the Geissele website: http://geissele.com/13supermodularrailmk4black.aspx
Changes include: different pattern cut to the bottom portion of the rail, QD swivel mounts now have stops to keep it from 360 rotation, weight reduction (now is 11.95 oz compared to the 12.7 oz of the Mod 0).

Sorry for the late response to this. I haven't weighed the rifle yet but I can already tell you it is a heavy one - primarily due to the PRS stock. The stock does balance out the rifle a bit and it is good for the bench. I have another lower with a Vltor stock that I would swap with it if I had to carry this rifle for some distance.
Just picked up a MKIV 9.5"—they're awesome, BTW—and did a few quick mockups.
On a BCM BFH 14.5" middy barrel, there is literally no more than a few mm between the low-pro BCM gas block and the very front of the rail. I installed everything normally but didn't tighten anything down and it's unbelievably close.
Same thing on a BCM BFH 16" middy with BCM low-pro gas block.
I don't have any taper-pinned FSB middy barrels that aren't already built to check actual clearance.
Again, to be clear, these were quick mock-ups with BCM low-pro gas blocks and BCM middy barrels. The 9.5" clears but just by a few mm.
I was at the NRA convention earlier today here in Houston. Stopped by the Geissele booth and spoke with Mr. Geissele himself. It was incredible to have the opportunity to discuss these various rails and the advancements in each. I think many people will love these rails.
The new Mk2 Mod 1, the Mk4 Mod 1 in 9.5" and 13" with their anodized aluminum barrel nuts are absolutely magnificent. I cannot wait to purchase one or more of these rails and other new Geissele products.
