    When properly finished, the only sharp edges are along the rail. I'm fairly confident mine is a rare case. I'm looking forward to using more of these rails on future builds. This with a DD pencil barrel would be the heat!

    That is the set up I am leaning towards also, thanks.

    As I'm sure you know, not all rails are created equal when it comes to sharp edges! <G> Don't recall which brand it was, but I had one rail handguard that was so full of sharp edges that it was like hanging onto a cheese grater, and REQUIRED rail covers on any exposed rail sections.

    Without a magazine it weighs in at 7 lb 2 oz including the vtac low profile sling mount, aimpoint w/adm mount, and kac micro buis. I realize most people go with the longer rail and a low profile gas block, but I really like the standard fsb.
    That is exactly the set up I was thinking of, thanks for posting. I have looked all over and not found a pic. I have a BCM middy needing a rail.

    Has anyone ran these in a class hard to see how it handles heat transfer?

    At $39.95 it's a bit pricey.


    No more so than offerings from Daniel Defense or Gear Sector. Hell, even Midwest has a heavy duty mount that costs as much. Pricey seems to be the going rate.

    While making sure everything ran right with my new upper, I dumped 240 rds as fast as I could pull the trigger and change mags. Yes the rail got hot, but I expect any rail would with that type of firing. Had I been wearing gloves it would not have been an issue. Normal rates of fire were fine, no issue with bare hands.

    That's why I'm hoping Magpul releases their RSA fairly soon and keeps to the price point they stated in the SHOT video (mid $20 range). Till then the rail section and MI mount will work, even if it isn't exactly optimal from a weight and comfort standpoint.

    I was using a BCM middy with standard hand guards and my new Centurion barrel based upper and noted a dramatic difference in cool down time between the two barrels. Of course some of that will be a result of the thinner profile Centurion barrel but I'm sure the rail helped. It certainly didn't act as an insulator. I could see the heat rising from the barrel when I was using the MBUS. I'm sure if somebody were to email Kyle Lamb, he'd give you an honest answer.

    I just wanted to add that CS from Rainier and VTAC have been pretty good for me so far. Technical support has been prompt, shipping of products has been super speedy.
