What rail(s) seem to go really well with billet uppers (aesthetically)?

Looking around and getting a list together for this next build (9mm AR Pistol).

Geissele to me is the best looking but $$ and I don't even know that they still make what I am looking for.
So far I am thinking an SLR rail would look good.

I love the way my SLR rail looks on mine.

It's rare that you will get perfectly matching colors (if that matters)... not all blacks are created equal. Some are more charcoal others are more glossy.

It just depends what you are after, but SLR won't disappoint.

Don't care about color. I've been wanting a "theme" build for a while (like Medic's Arcus) and this is probably what I'll do that with so it's likely to see Cerakote.
Friend has a 15" SLR and really likes it.

The new MI Gen 3 should go well. It's also cheaper.

Fortis, SLR and the force rails are good IMO . I'm also looking forward to the MI gen 3 on the way for the umbrella.

There a lot of good options. Just narrow it down to what pleases you.

I DO like cheaper! Haha. I think a friend might have their Gen 3 MLOK. Will check it out.

Force rail?
I am sure Fortis are nice, just not my flavor.

The same rail that's on the arcus and my 300blk. UW also posted the 12" is on sale too.. Or it was anyway...

New Frontier Armory 9mm Glock set.

Ah! Gotchya. I'll look at them.
12" will be too long. Looking around 7".

After looking at Fortis again, I kinda like the REV rails. (It's the REV2 I don't like)

I love the way the Daniel Defense quads look on billet uppers. The SMOS matches nicely with the CMT uppers.

Never mind I see you are looking for a 7" rail. Forget the SMOS.

Geissele, Fortis or DD for a shorter rail.

Is Geissele making a 7" Keymod rail? I am not seeing one.

I think they are only doing MLOK now. None of their rails listed show Keymod as an option.

I think Geissele dumped Keymod, but they do MLOK still. If you're set on Keymod I am sure you could find a used one in decent enough shape for a build.

Honestly, Geissele's come with Super Gas Blocks, so if you need a GB, it turns out to be a pretty good deal. Also, I'm sure you've seen the recent price reductions.

You could also just get the new Gear Sector Handguards, they are finally shipping to dealers. I haven't shot with it yet, but since you're looking for aesthetically pleasing, they do look really nice.

I really like the rails coming from 2nd Armament. Don't hold me to it but I think they have a 7" keymod

Those are pretty good looking. And they do have a 7". MLOK though. I may just have to give in and consider MLOK.

UWone, those Gear Sector rails do look nice they weren't on my radar. Thanks!

Here is the perfect rail for a 7.5" barrel that was just released by SLR. Designed for use with a 7.5" barrel and suppressor. I know you don't have one but it'll still get nice and close to that MD!
