    I think I want to try a drop-in carbine rail...

    I've generally been happy with the MOE handguard on my carbine, but I'm tempted to try a drop-in quadrail to make it easier to mount a light, VFG and sling point. I do not want a FF rail on this one; if I did, I'd go with an Omega and be done with it.

    I'd like to find one that's slimmer than it is tall. Suggestions on what ones to consider? It's hard to tell the cross-section of most rails from the photos I can find. Most of the compilation threads I've found have been for freefloats.

    The only one I've found so far that definitely is narrow is the Ergo Z Rail drop-in. There have to be others, right?

    Take a look at the RAS seconds offered by KAC.

    Any particular reason you don't want a free float? Because the Omega is a drop in and it fits all your other criteria perfectly. It's also one of the lightest available, which is a huge plus.

    If you don't want an Omega, why not just get the new MOE 4 piece light mounting kit and the new MVG foregrip designed for the MOE HG's? Add a Daniel Defense QD sling point and you're set for a lot less $$$ than a new rail!

    Is the KAC RAS oval? I thought they were round.

    Omega is a little pricey for me right now but I might still end up with one.

    That's basically what I'm doing with the MOE (with an HK hook loop instead of a QD and a custom stubby VFG used as a handstop instead of a MVG), I just want to consider alternatives.

    I like the MOE, but I keep coming back to the feel of my A2 corncobs - so I wonder if I should try a rail.

    DD EZ rail?

    It isnt FF and is alot cheaper than the omega rail, but looks like it is the same shape.

    The Troy DI is a little narrower that it is tall. Sucker locks up tight as well. I went with it over the KAC because the Troy has swivel sockets front and rear on both sides.

    So what's the real-world difference between the DD Omega and the EZ?

    It is not a free float rail, and it doesnt have QD sockets.

    The DD EZ was one of the first ones I considered, but I've heard from a few places that they're not oval or are just barely. Does anyone here have one that can comment?

    QD sockets are not a selling point for me - I use HK and MASH hooks.
