It goes around the delta ring and looks great, it is also a free float system. oh well to each his own. good luck.

It goes around the delta ring and looks great, it is also a free float system. oh well to each his own. good luck.
If its any consolation, a 9" Troy covered my carbine length perfectly.
I'll be honest, Im not for sure which one will cover it completely... If you take a tape measure and bump the end into the receiver (where the gas tube goes in) and measure to the far end (front edge) of your FSB, that will give you a real good idea how long of a rail you need. I know it sounds crude, but it will work, cuz all you want to know is how long the rail needs to be to cover your FSB all the way.
I have tried the troy rail and yhm and just didnt like the looks of them, they seem to be good quality products i just like the look of the CASV-EL and the way it lowers your AIMPOINT so you dont have to have such a high mount on top of the reciever, i like the low profile look, I also like the durability and free float system it gives you, It does everything i want it to do and feels real solid and light weight. VLTOR is also known for there supreme top notch quality.
First off, what rifle and receiver finish is that?![]()
Personally, I prefer to keep things simple. Simple installation, FSB untouched. So Id go for either KAC RAS or Troy. If you want a free-float rail, go for the drop in type like the midwest 2pc FF or DD Omega.
Okay, I've narrowed it down to the Troy MRF rail.
Next step I need help in deciding is whether I should leave the FSB as is and just get the 9" MRF-M mid-length version, or if it makes sense to bob the FSB and get a longer rail with flip up sight, like the 12" or 13.8" MRF version?
They all clamp on the same way, so all I have to do is cut off the delta ring assembly.
The reasons I guess would make a difference other than asthetics are:
-Type of optic
-Sight Radius
-Weight
-Rail Space Needs
-Barrel Length
-Use of Bipod
My answers to those items are:
-Not sure on optic, but leaning towards a glass 1-4, or maybe an aimpoint
-Sight radius would be longer on longer rail, but not sure it matters?
-Definately prefer less weight, but not sure difference is major
-Rail space is least concern as I would only possibly mount a bipod or flash light
-Barrel lenght on current rifle is a 16" 1/7 twist (saber defense I think)
-Bipod - I want a bipod for some longer range shooting but don't think it will live on the rifle.
So, all that said, any opinions on which length MRF makes most sense?
I found some comparison pictures of the two lengths at: http://www.militarymorons.com/weapons/weapons.1.html

If those are your answers, then why do you want such a long rail? I have a DD lite 12 with a lo pro block on a BCM midlength upper, and its heavy as shit compared to my 2 BCM midlengths with 9.0 Omegas. Its just my opinion though.
Again, just my opinion, but the FDE Omega would look pretty cool with that finish, it seems.

(The 7.0 carbine length, they didn't have a pic of the 9.0 in FDE)
Looks like your going to join the mile high club.
