I just recently got into a Parallaxtacical.com (http://parallaxtactical.com/) FFSSR 13" FDE rail. Then not long after one of the new parallax tactical new M-lok 13" rails. like all their rails they are slim, light and nicely priced with many options and colors, and new stuff coming out all the time.

Havent run it a lot so far, but so far really like the slimness of it and magpul says by the end of the year 20 plus M-lok accessories will be available from them including grips, rails, and other new stuff they say.
13.5 length
1.30" internal diameter
1.60" outside diameter
2 QD cups

Pros for me...
-Light
-Slim-perfect grip for me.
-QD/ M-lok feature
-Price
Only negative at the moment was when tightening it on, had to play back and forth between screws to get it to line up nice and strait, which took a few minutes. As the ID of the rail and the OD of the barrel nut were a hair too big maybe??..anyways..good option and good company....Now a couple of my mediocre pics..lol.
As you can see in this quick pic, rail attaches to the propieritary Parallax barrel nut, that uses a 1 1/4" crows foot wrench or similiar. Attaches via 6 screws, 2 screws at the 3 , 6 , and 9 o'clock positions..Along with the QD cup that works well.

BTW...The FDE on the Parallax rail matches the Umbrella FDE almost perfectly to the T...[:D]
