Im really looking for a URXII Mid substitute. Im not a fan of the proprietary-ness.
Something between 10"-11" for use on 11.5" SBR with suppressor. To maximize rail-estate and provide the "seamless" look.
To my knowledge the URXII mid is the only option to date.

Big +1 to this, tho I won't be sad if I end up having to use the URXII..

Come on 2013!

ETA- The below is a short piece from Rob Curtis (my Military Times editor), I did not take the pics or write about this rail, and haven't actually even seen one yet. My apologies for not making that clear earlier.

Everyone who knows ARs know....it's never officially a party until Stick has product in hands and under his lens!

At this point in time after watching you post thousands of professionally taken pics of the ever changing new kit/rifles, I'm sure even myself is guilty to some degree in regards to taking for granite the service you have been providing for the AR now for as long as I've been on these forums. My appreciation for this task you've always done remains the same even though now I've seen thousands of your professionally taken shots of various kit and rifles. I guess gun porn just never gets old.

Hopefully you'll be doing some form or another of evaluation with that MK2 you photographed above so that I can hear your thoughts on the SMRs. If your not I can understand given I know your side job of catching criminals keeps you kinda busy

Hopefully I can get a quick thought or two from you in regards to just the texture of the ano finishing, and more importantly the GA "sand" finish. It's almost to pretty to put on a fighting rifle...almost.

Sorry, but you can get no thoughts from me on this one, I've never seen or handled one of these rails. The Military Times piece was done by my editor Rob Curtis.

Thank for the kind words on the pictures, I try to keep it lively. I checked a few years ago and back then I was a little over 3,000 different pictures uploaded to a few different hosting sites. I would guess around 4kish at this point.

Trident1982, thank you for your great videos.

About time to start a new project

I bit the bullet and bought one of the sand 13' mk2 rails for my 14.5 build. After looking for a rail for my upper, there are not a lot of 13 inch rails that I like. I run a 12 Vltor mur on my other 14.5. I wanted something a little longer but still be able to run my AAC MINI.

G hits a bit of a niche with 13 & 15 IMHO. I would like a 15 for my 18 SPR, but I'm not ready to ditch my 14DD for it.

My pleasure JoJunior

PB....I think you'll really like the 13" SMR on a 14.5" barrel. Over the last cpl. months, my own 13" SMR MK1/ 14.5 DD LW rifle seems to get the majority of my trigger time. It's just such a well balanced combo.

Good lookin weapon. I was thinking the Mk2 was an improved version of mk1, so I bought the two. Not the case. I hope I dig the mk2 anyway. I wasn't really thinking budget on this build. I'm sure it will still be fine.

Trident, How much does this weigh? I'm no lightweight guy, but just curious. I know it's been discussed. My RISII's are no feathers , but they STOUT.
