    Looking for a Stiff/Rigid free float rail

    Im looking for thoughts on a rigid/stiff mounted free float rail. Ideally 10" KeyMod but that's not a deal breaker to mount a IR laser to. Weight is always a concern but I have noticed recently that the newer light keymod rails have a lot of flex on them and for an aiming device I would like something with a bit less deflection.

    Thoughts?

    I have two geissele rails and they are very rigid. You'd have to pick up a keymod rail on the EE since last I looked the new rails were only in mlok.

    The most rigid rail I know of is the Hodge/Mega wedgelock.

    I'm running a Geiselle on one of mine. It is M-Lok, but very stiff. I would definately trust it with anything. They are built in such a way as they extend a tiny bit onto the upper receiver and have Allen screws on each side that lock the rail in place against the upper. Super secure and rigid.

    Probably the Geissele MLOK rail. It's pretty rigid and bomb proof.

    To hop in here... any opinion on the SLR Ion ultralight mlok? Similar desires, would be going on a DD m4v7 lw and used with a bipod

    Some deflection testing has been done on a few popular hand guards for these purposes, and the Wedge Lock had the least deflection of the ones tested.

    You might consider the KAC URX4 10".

    I have a friend with a 14.5" pinned upper with that rail. It is very solid, and a quality rail, but I would still prefer the Geissele rail specifically dealing with rail flex that would impact POI with a laser.

    Agreed, and

    I have a few of the new lightweight models and I have noticed how hot they get very quickly. Just another drawback vs the Geissele MLOK or other such more stout systems.
