    This rail is very interesting. I like the narrow width and light weight. One thing I've come accustomed to is my hand stop. I'm using a quad rail now and the attached profile is seamless. How bulky does it feel to add a rail panel and top that with a hand stop? I have mine positioned at the bore end. Also, is there any texturing on the rail or is as smooth as it appears in the photo?

    I don't have any problem using a KAC grip as a pseudo hand stop, but I can see how a dedicated hand stop may be pushed a bit too far away from the tube to be comfortable.

    The rail is as smooth as it looks in the pictures. All of the cut-outs provide pretty positive traction when gripping the tube itself though.

    Hope that helps.

    are there attachment points along the bottom? Could you add a direct-attach hand stop like the Mount-N-Slot?

    this.

    Now I see the future of rails - direct mount accessories.

    That's what the bottom of the rail looks like. I'm unfamiliar with mount and slot stuff though.

    I'm not sure if MNS makes a 1.5" ID mount to go on a 1.5" OD tube.

    I think I may need to play with one of these handguards soon. Even toying with the idea of the 15" just to really push it.

    Just order a 15"! Also contacted Impact Weapons and their hand stop will fit this rail. You just have to order the one designed for the TRX or VTAC. That plus a QD mount, and I'm set.

    Good to know. I might have to try one out.

    By the way, the MI gives you a rail section with an anti-rotation QD cup built in. It's what I'm using for my sling.

    I plan to give the supplied items a try first. No need to spend the money twice! Less weight is my desired goal.

    A direct interface handstop is in the works.
    Also, 10" handguards should be shipping very very soon.
    We have a bunch of cool stuff coming out for these. If you need a longer rail section keep your eyes on this thread. they should be next.

    Thanks guys,
