    Message to Geissele re 12.5" rail

    I just sent this message to Geissele:

    "Bill, please make a rail suitable for a 12.5" barrel or release the MK16 so I can take a hacksaw to the front end.

    thanks"

    I would encourage any others with similar desires to make them known.

    We have been begging for a 10.75 inch rail for FOREVER.

    we can only keep begging without anyone listening.

    It's time to falsely accuse Bill of groping!!! It's the current means of getting what you want.

    Squeaky wheel. If enough people keep asking maybe sooner or later they will pay attention.

    I got two MK13 13.0 rails on my 6920's but would have preferred a 12.0 rail from Geissele due to i am not a freak of nature with the arms of a Sasquatch. Granted I shoot for work not for competitions so that is probably my issue with these competition BS rails everyone is making now.

    Its either that or Bill knows what actually sells. There are a slew of rail seizes I would like to see made, but I know that only a portion of them would be mainstream enough to be profitable.

    Its the same reason DD has never done the GL/SSC rail. While there are a small group that claim the GL/SSC would sell well, in actuality it probably would sit on shelves and not be worth it.

    I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

    How many 7 and 15 inch rails do you think he sells? I really am curious, I don't see them being big sellers but they still make them. I am looking at cutting one MLOK off of a 13" that will give a rail about 11 1/4", a little long but doable but it would be a lot cleaner on a MK16 than those stupid lightening cuts on the MK14 will allow. But my preference would be a proper length MK14 or even better MK16, I have to believe if enough ask for one to demonstrate the demand is there they will release one, I need two myself. Otherwise Knights URX 4 are an option, for more $$ but I am old fashioned enough to prefer the Geissele barrel nut and am trying to standardize on the MK14 and hopefully someday MK16 rails.
