    Troy MRF's bottom rail removes by removing 1 allen head screw from the bottom and sliding it off. As for the water issue...

    I was deer hunting a year ago with my Winchester 1300 12 gauge. I It was pissing rain the whole time and on top of that, I fell in a 3' deep creek while trying to cross it on a fallen tree. Shotgun was submerged. I took it home and detail stripped it, oiled it, and to this day there is not a spec of rust on it.

    Sandy vagina day? If he wants to be a weirdo and spend more money cleaning his gun than he should, game on Donkey Kong. I don't care what he uses. I use water and follow it up with a coating of G96. No rust, not fuss and smells grreat.

    To the OP, Centurion's options are VERY high on my list.

    DD Lite rails are easy to take down for cleaning and are great rails in and of themselves.

    I don't own a TRX but I have played with one, just not extensively. Much slimmer and lighter than my MRF. If you don't mind adding weight and a little bulk (assuming you use rail covers like KAC's or XTMs) to get the full quad rail, and if it is what you are looking for, then go for it. The thing I like the most about the MRF is the solid mounting system. Heads and shoulders above the TRX in my opinion, and it uses the rifle's factory barrel nut. If you have seen Centurion's rails, it is basically identical to the MRF, except the MRF does not leave part of the barrel nut exposed (not sure why Centurion did that). The TRX I played with had me wondering about the clamp-style mount they use, but that comes down to personal preference. The MRF is a little heavier than offerings from DD and Centurion, but the thing is built (and mounted) like a tank. The TRX is much lighter, and more comfortable probably. On top of that, there is no need to slap rail covers on it. If I could swap my rail for something different, I would look hard at Centurion's offerings or a TRX. But I am happy with my MRF and it is staying put.

    I am still waiting for the prefect rail that has a removable bottom, anti rotation sling sockets, no integral front sight, and compatible with KAC panels.

    KAC could of had this 5 years ago with the URX but they can't seem to get their shit together.

    They make an 8" URX3 like this now for AAC but are not making it in 9" or 10".

    It's "only" six bolts but I get irritated every time I install/uninstall one, especially if there's loctite on them. Maybe DD uses an extra long wobble hex bit on the production line.

    The DD RIS II has a removable bottom but I've never taken mine off to clean the barrel. I got it because the bottom rail is tucked in which makes the hand guard easier to grip the circumference.

    The DD MFR is a lot more secure than the Troy Extreme TRX but is a pain to line up correctly since it uses 4 screws that pulls the rail to the receiver. It's very easy to install/remove though.

    Samson Evolution is installed and removed by tightening up two bolts. It slides on and off a heat sink.

    As has been mentioned, removing your rail will jack up your sight alignment on irons, or any laser or anything.

    For as paranoid as Scotty is, I hope he's never been on the range when it rains. After all, if you can never get water out of every nook and cranny, your rifle is destined to rust away on you (apparently).
