16" with 9" rail?

**Citizen** · 20 January 2011, 10:11

Could anybody post some picture of an AR with a 16" barrel and 9" rail?

I am thinking about a Rock River with a 9" rail. A full uninterupted rail.

Here's a pic of a Noveske 16" with a 9" monolithic

16" Carbine Gas with a 9" FF rail I'm assuming? Why one of those?

I want more real estate than the 7" and don't want to use the fixed sight. So I am looking at the 9" but for some reason it's difficult to find pictures.

Pimpmygun.com is sometimes useful for this kind of thing...

If that's one you're looking at, have you considered the S&W VTAC uppers?

Id go with a longer rail if you are going that route. Either a 10" or 11"

**Dos Cylindros** · 22 January 2011, 09:41

You won't find many pictures of tat setup, because people who are going to run a low profile gas block under a rail usually opt for at least a 10 to 11" rail system. I have a 16" middy with a 9" rail, but it as a standard front sight base.

Noveske has an N4 with a 9" VLTOR VIS that they combine with their 16" + Switchblock set up. Check out their site. (For some reason I'm not able to post with active links right now...hmmm). Try http://noveskerifleworks.com/imimg/lrv-556-sb_4d.jpg

I also agree that I would go with a longer rail on a 16". I'm using a 13" Troy TRX and I'm digging that extra length.
