    That should only have 0.1" of muzzle device not exposed. Here's a pic from 2A Armament of their 12" Lite Rail and a 12.5" barrel.

    Daniel defense calls their ddm4 12.55" rail 12". Jim Hodges spec for the rail is 13.58". That is what I based my answer on. Make sure the Mega branded rails are listing actual length before you order.

    The pictured 2A 12" Lite Rail's actual length is 11.88". These are the lengths and prices for the Wedge Lock from MEGA's site:

    •WLH-250 - CARBINE LENGTH HANDGUARD, , 7 Inches, BLACK HARD ANO. MSRP $249
    •WLH-350 - MID LENGTH, HANDGUARD, 9 Inches, BLACK HARD ANO. $272
    •WLH-450 - RIFLE LENGTH, HANDGUARD, 12 Inchs, BLACK HARD ANO. $295
    •WLH-550 - EXTENDED RIFLE LENGTH HANDGUARD, 14 Inches, BLACK HARD ANO. $326
    •WLH-650 - MEGA EXTENDED LENGTH HANDGUARD, 16 Inches, BLACK HARD ANO. $357

    MEGA has said these are actual lengths. Maybe the Hodge AU-MOD 2 is using the extended rifle length.

    Would not surprise me one bit if the Hodge rail is a custom length for their weapon.

    The HDSI rail is indeed custom. I just didn't know how much MEGA copied it on their branded rails.

    FYI, here is a 14.5" HDSI with their 13.58" rail, just as a datapoint:

    That's super beautiful. Can't wait for the 16".

    Really interested to know the weights though....

    Just a shade under 6.5# for the 16", around 6.25# for the 14.5". The barrels are a real thing of beauty. Hammer forged, taper profile, 9310H Modified steel with flake chrome lining, roughly identical weight to .gov profile.
    Pushes the CG back toward the receiver, and enhances rigidity and the ability of the barrel to take high volume fire/heat. Should make for quicker transitions, and offset the weight/balance up front of a WML/Suppressor.

    Good looking rifle, interesting configuration of the S&S Scout setup.

    That DOES sound nice. I really like the taper profiled barrel I have and others I've handled. Never heard the term flake chrome though. I like the flavor of the Hodge website, but it's not terribly helpful.

    At this point though I'm just looking at the forend. That's the weight I was more interested in.

    Looks like they only have the 16" at this time?

    Instead of a 9, I wish that they would do a 10"

    I just purchased a new lathe, well new to me. Custom barrel lengths will be awesome.

    Shorter lengths of the Wedge Lock hand guard have started shipping. WHL-550 (14") and WHL-450 (12") have left the building. Expect to have WHL-350 (9") and WHL-250s (7") shipping some time next week.
