Guys I can't decide on what rail to run on my "do all" 14.5 AR

[Stopsign32v]

Well I don't have a rifle that I would grab if I had to leave everything else behind. I need a end of days do everything AR. I've pretty much narrowed everything down to the rail and I can't decide on it.

I love retro picatinny but I want something that doesn't weigh much. I was looking at the DD RIS II, but again, weight...

I will rattle can this but I want a top tier rail so the choices are limited to Geissele, KAC, DD, etc...So far I'm looking at the below, what is your opinion?

Geissele MK8





KAC URX 4





Ah what the heck...DD RIS II





Centurion C4 Mlok

Go with the quad rail

[SteyrAUG]

Any of those will work, would also look at the Centurion Arms Mloks.

Geissele does make a quad rail that is compatible with the Mk4/8 barrel nut. I’d go with Geissele personally…any flavor.

Ah yea I forgot about those! I'll add them to the list above

No FSB?

No FSB?

No, I'm going to run this optic setup and don't want a shadow in the 5x.

They are so dang heavy but I can't help but go back to this. I absolutely love an old school quad rail!

It sounds like you know what you want, but if you do go MLOK the Midwest Industries Night Fighter may be of interest.

+1 on the MK8
