Picture request thread?
I could have sworn there was a request thread, but I can't find it. I also swear that Stickman had posted a 12.5" upper with either a KAC 3.1 or a Centurion Arms 10" rail. What am I missing? I swear it's here, but can someone point me in the right direction for either?

Let me know if you need more, those are just a couple I dug up.

Thank you very much. I think I found one or two more of yours today when I was Googling...I mean working. Is there any chance you have a 12.5" with a KAC URX 3.1 10.75 handguard? I think I'm leaning that way, but the CA is a close contender. If Fortis made a 10.5-ish rail, the deal would be done.

Just revisiting this as I'm dangerously close to making a decision...
I think I've dropped the idea of a URX 3.1 just because of the limited positions you can put a handstop/VFG. So now it's down to a 10.75" URX II or a CA 10" rail. Is there any chance anyone has a pic comparing the actual length difference between the two? I know what the numbers say, but since the KAC rails are kind of scalloped on the forward end, it's hard to tell if it really matters. I have a URX II 10.75 on my SR-15 upper and like it, but installing a CA would obviously much simpler on a new build.

No help this time ... I don't have any pictures of a 10.75 and a Centurion 10" together. In the process of reorganizing, so you'll probably make a decision before I find everything.

Maybe, maybe not. I still have a few more months. If you happen across something, I'll welcome it.

Gracias, senor.
Just when I thought that the CA was the way to go, now this. That extra 3/4" is welcome for my orangutan arms...but I don't really "need" the front sight. <Sigh>.... Thanks for making this harder...
Seriously, though, thanks for the pics. I'll have to figure this out "soon" since this is the last piece I need.

I really like the URX 3.1 a lot more than the URX II. I know you were considering the 3.1 earlier, but decided against it because of the limited positions you can put a grip or handstop. I feel your pain on that because I ended up having to pay $90 for a URX 3.1 accessory kit, just for a few rail covers and 1913 rails to bolt on. However, once I got the kit, I was able to attach what I wanted, where I wanted. Then again, like I mentioned there is that extra $90 cost.
What is the cost difference between a C4 and a URX II rail these days? And why does it have to be between 10-10.75" rails again?

I haven't really dug into the prices yet, since I'm not quite ready to purchase. I think the MSRP for a KAC is $300, but with a mil discount, I think that comes down. If I remember correctly, the CA will beat the KAC on price, even after any discount.
The rail length can probably go out to ~11.25". It's for a 12.5", CA-barreled upper that will be running a SF 556MB and can, and anything longer will interfere with the can. I have all the parts (and the stamp for the lower last week!) except the rail, but still have time to obsess about it for a few more weeks.

This thread has kind of devolved into my own rail thread, which wasn't my intention, but...
I am paralyzed with indecision! I think I've settled on the URX 3.1, but the CA is still nice. Price-wise, CA is the way to go, especially after install (I don't have KAC tools), but it seems like the 3.1/II gives me the most for what I'm looking for, and I don't really need the sight on the II. <sigh>

haha gatordev then I will help you out. Would like to see the Noveske KX5/3 on a 14.5" barrel with a Odin Works 15.5" KMod Forend? Maybe one of you guys have a picture of it somewhere?
