    LOL that's just going to look ridiculous. Hope it was a steal!

    I would use the mentioned Fortis REV. I don't think a "slim" rail would look good on a short barrel with a long silencer

    Not all of us have money to dump into multiple cans, and when it's on a normal rifle it looks fine. The rail doesn't need to be slim either.

    Can we get back to the topic where I was seeking help in finding actual handguard lengths and not go where it's heading with comments about my can.

    Add: What model is your 12" MI rail?
    It's an MI-SS12G2. I.D. is 1.3" and O.D. is 1.5"

    Well... Seekins must be a bit funky on their measuring. (Seekins makes the Rainier Force rails too)

    Seekins BAR 12" - 12.5"
    Rainier Force gen1 12" - 12.5"
    Rainier Force gen1 15" - 15" (about 14 31/32, as close as you can get to 15")
    Parallax MLOK 15"- 15"

    I'm glad you made this thread because I never would've known my 12" rails were more than 12".

    So if you used a MCSR and it's a tad too long... why not just tuck a little bit of the can inside the MCSR?

    We've already gone through that and he said he didn't want to cover up 'any' of the can...I personally think it would be fine... the 9" version that is, but you would have to get your fingers inside the rail a little bit to take the can off or put it on. I don't know, maybe it might be a tight fit... who knows... options are definitely limited.

    He only does a 7" and a 9" and I doubt the 7" would be over 7.75"? Glen said he thought the 7" might be like 3/8" over the 7" but he didn't have one lying around to measure. I might be able to make it work if it was like 1/8" too long, but any more than that and I'm concerned my sausage fingers won't be able to tighten it down very well.
