    If you want the DD 9.0 Omega rail, get it, its a good rail, and should serve you well.
    Thanks for you help Stick.
    Yeah, I run a 7 Omega on my N4 and love it. I love the integrated sling spot and it is nice and solid. As far as weight, I DO care a lot about weight and between the two, as I said with the DD sling kit on the M4, they will probably be equal in weight. Also, the uninterrupted rail on top is a nice touch.
    When you say can, are you referring to the G launcher?

    Yeah, I know what a can is, i just have never heard of one being stored under a rail, that was why I asked if he was referring to the M203 witch lives in that area.
    Thanks.

    I'm sure Stick can hook us up with a pic of a can inside a M4 rail, I swear I've seen one floating around but I can't find it. I really like that look, unfortunately I can't use silencers in this state.

    Stickman.... looks like the Noveske KX3 is snug within the DD M4 rail.
    Is the M4 rail stock?....or was it milled to fit the KX3.

    She recesses inside the rail without any problem. Its a stock DD M4 rail, though I should point out that the DD Lite rails won't accept them due to their narrower profile.

    PERFECT!!!... This solves half of my search....I have an AWC M22 suppressor that is the same diameter of the KX3
    Now I need a match grade barrel that is #1 ...govt. dia. (.725") and #2...has a minimum of 4.50" govt. dia. infront
    of the gas block before threads.
    I'm waiting on a reply from Noveske if their SS Crusader and Afghan barrels meet my needs.

    OK, I understand what stick was talking about now, but only see it an issue if the can would need to go under the rail, as if the rail was over the flash-hider.

    Sweet looking piece stick. How many freaking sticks do you have anyway??
