Daniel Defense Omega Rail Review

[Stickman]

The Omega rail installed on the weapon stands out in two areas. First, its very light weight, which is something that Daniel Defense is well known for with their rail series. Secondly, the rail is very slim. For shooters that prefer a more narrow and oval feel to their handguards, this is something which is going to make them very happy. For shooters who rely on a Vertical Fore Grip (VFG), the slim profile may become important if you use a cruiser mounted lock inside a patrol car. Many of the rails that are on the market are not compatible with the assorted AR15 cruiser mounts. I know that I use an older mount in my patrol car, and it will not allow for many rails, and even with my other DD rails I make sure that I don’t use thick rail covers. I’ve found that other officers rails will not lock into my mount properly, which relegates their weapon to the trunk of their cruiser as their only other option. Granted, this is not an issue with every mount and rail combination, but its worth considering for patrol officers or people who use a rack for their weapons.
