    DD Omega X 12.0 FSP?

    Are these excessively heavy? Are they bulky I've never held or handled one, but they're @ BCM for $179. Wondering if they are any good. Thanks.

    they are very good. nice and light and sturdy. however, they will require you remove the FSB and replace the barrel nut with their proprietary nut which I believe requires their proprietary wrench.

    that said, for a rail of this quality for $179, those are small issues...
    never push a wrench...

    They retain the same slim cross section of Omega rails but use the Lite Rail barrel nut. I do not find the 12.0 FSP to be any heavier than a 12.0 Lite Rail but it is listed on the DD sight as being a just under an ounce heavier. When you take into account, the weight of 2 rail mounted QD cups (Omega X has integrated QD cups), the Omega X is a touch lighter. At 179 that is a LOT of rail for the money, it is a shame people never warmed up to it's looks. Mine is waiting patiently for a DD pencil barrel upper.

    I like the looks of the FSP and the FSPM quite a bit.

    Indeed...utilitarian function before form goodness. They work great, and at $179 you can't go wrong.

    Since this BCM price I have probably done about a dozen or so for other people and have 3 of these rails mounted my own rifles with 1 more ready to mount on another one of my rifles as soon as I get a chance. I also have a couple more in the box for future builds.

    However I recently ordered the Troy 13" TRX Extreme Battlerail for my next upcoming build, which I am just waiting on a few more parts. So my other DD rails will have to wait a bit longer.

    Great rail, can't beat the price. For a hard use working carbine/rifle in an up close situation, I really do prefer a pinned front sight base.

    Were any modification to the rails required to fit the folding FSB?
