I don't think it'll be a problem for me since I'm using a 13.2 LaRue rail, but was thinking about going with the DD like the OP. Thanks.
The DD Omega has the tightest inside clearance of ANY rail/FF tube I've ever seen. I can shave and do so many times per month FSBs to fit under many FF tubes/rails. Steve probably does similar to what I do. I use a plasma cutter, a grinder, a disc sander and a bead blaster, then coat with Norrels moly resin. This is what mine look like.


The shaved FSB all the way on the right will fit under a DD Lite Rail, RISII, LaRue, YHM and most other rails. It will BARELY fit under a DD Omega and when it does all it takes is you to hit the rail firmly with your hand and it'll run into the gas block.
