Can anyone confirm or not that this rail is still good viable option against the other options from DD?
I am debating whether or not I want to put it on my BCM middy from Grant and he does not have anything else in stock. Should I move forward with this option or wait till other DD rail kit hits the market?
Thanks for you thoughts.
The DD M4 series rail is the lightest rail on the market. That is its main benefit. I have used them, and they have worked well. They are also the rail used by AMU.
That being said, I prefer the DD Lite series. The DD Lite rails use the same basic lockup system that is used by the RIS II military series.

The M4 series has the largest Diameter of the DD rails....people want want the smaller diamter of the other rails. The M4 series is a good system.....just like the others, however it's key differences are the way it mounts and the interupted top rail.
OK, this helps. So the way I see it, the rail is slightly lighter, maybe an Oz. or so and thats it. The others have the uninterrupted top rail and the integrated QD swivel mount. I assume that the weight difference is lost once you add a DD rail sling attachment set-up, so I really see no value in this rail outside the fact that is seems it is the only one available at this time!!
Damn, I wish I could get a DD Omega 9"!
The DD M4 rail is their original rail. The Lite rail and Omega rail are much more recent, as is their RIS II series rails. The pros of the DD M4 rail seem like they aren't anything you need, you don't care about weight, aren't looking for something to stick a can under, and don't need a one piece rail.
If you want the DD 9.0 Omega rail, get it, its a good rail, and should serve you well.
