    ...... however you don't need to get rid of it, for while not optimal for most uses, it is not useless.
    Now that's reassuring

    I still think a rifle with a carbine length rail kills things just as well as the same rifle with a longer rail. Question is how good is the shooter with what he runs? I am sure that I will own some long rail stuff someday just because.

    "No you do not have to think; it is an act of moral choice. But someone had to think to keep you alive; if you choose to default, you default on existance and you pass the deficit to some moral man, expecting him to sacrifice his good for the sake of letting you survive by your evil." - John Galt

    11.5", however, I like a fixed FSB (to the tune I won't use anything else if I can help it). Part of that whole, 'keep everything the same, all of the time, whenever possible' I talked about. I don't really see a point to shaving down the FSB, sticking a longer rail system on, attaching a detachable fixed front sight, and changing the light setup on five rifles. We're talking at least a couple thousand bucks for a couple more inches of rail. I wouldn't be comfortable with a rail system that extends to the muzzle since I overhang my support-side index finger off of the front of the rail as an index point.
