Any chance you'll make this in a 10 inch rail? I'd really love a 10.5 to go with an 11.5 inch barrel, but nobody makes a good 10.5.

when did this forum turn into a place to advertise?..
never push a wrench...
In my mind the forums are designed for communicating about building, shooting, troubleshooting and anything else related to the weapon.
I am simply showing a new product that is an option for you to use on your M4 style gun. Many people come here to find new products that will work best for them.
Thanks,

What is the method of anti-rotation? I can see that the rail is tabbed to the barrel nut, but what keeps the rail and barrel nut from rotating as a unit, barrel nut torque alone or something else?
After thinking about my question it finally dawned on me the the gas tube is the method of anti-rotation similar to a stock barrel nut/gas tube set up. I was so used to seeing the tabs on other rails it slipped by me.

Too bad I ordered my BCM upper when only the Gen 1 was out...I like this new one a little more.
Oh well, I still like my Gen 1..I think the Troy rail would be too skinny for my hands. I like the extra space inside your guys' handguard because I can install the rail sections without taking off the handguard. ETA, even with the thicker SS410 barrel.

I wanted t bump this and see if anyone else had picked one up, or if anyone that posted they bought, or were buying, one had some rounds on them. To that point, if you've been shooting I'd like to know how many rounds you have on it, in what environment, and THEN your opinion of the handguard. Without the first two the last one is irrelevant to me.
I've got somewhere between 600 and 800 rounds through the BCM that I posted earlier in the thread. Those rounds were shot doing informal training/basic drills.
While I don't have much in the way of practical experience with other tube/mono-rails I really do like the MI Gen2. I love how light and narrow the rail is. The extra length is a nice upgrade from the 9" rail I had before.
One thing I wish MI incorporated would be spots to mount rail sections at the 11ish and 1ish positions. Also (and this should be common sense) make sure you put a dab of locktite on the screws for the rail sections. I forgot that step and had one come loose the other day.
