Parallax Tactical FFSSR M-LOK Rail

[mustangfreek]

I just recently got into a Parallaxtacical.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.





Then comparing the black M-lok 13" rail to my 13" FDE FFSSR rail






BTW...The FDE on the Parallax rail matches the Umbrella FDE almost perfectly to the T...

Nice quick review. I agree, if there was a small complaint about the Parallax Rails, it's during installation, lining up the screws can be a pain, even if they look like they are lined up. I know they are constantly looking at improvements, so that's one area I'd look into, the mounting.

Thanx

Ive installed a few of them and yes they can be a pain for sure. I really like their m-lok hand guard but I wish it was like their keymod design where it was the same diameter the whole length.

Ya their keymod rail kinda reminds me of the NSR rail i have...have not played with the PT keymod rail yet..it also looks like a good rail

I've got one of these I'll be installing next week (hopefully.) I'm just waiting for the rail and my receivers to get back from Cerakoting.

Weapon Outfitters has the M-Lok rail in a version like the lightweight Keymod.

I got my receivers and handguard back from Cerakote, and I've got the rifle, more or less, assembled now. I still need to get some pictures of the full rifle, but I'm still waiting on my scope.

The handguard seems to be very nice quality. It feels sturdy and the machining is good with no shape edges. All-in-all a very nice feeling hadguard. This is the first rail I've installed that had no indexing tabs, so I was a bit worried it would be tricky to get it indexed properly, but I had no trouble at all (other than having to grind down a crow foot to fit the barrel nut.)

Until I get some better photos, here's a teaser....
