    On the ALG, check their Blems regularly. $80 for my 15in rail. It is purple but that's cool [emoji846]

    I appreciate all the suggestions; keep it up!
    No problem. And yeah, they do several sales a year.

    I've had a 13" ALG for ~2 years now and it's been great. It was cheap and it's held up to abuse. I don't generally mount stuff to my HG, but I have occasionally used a bipod, light, irons, and offset MRDS with it. I honestly don't have any complaints, but I'm just a hobbyist gamer/hunter.

    And yes- wait for a sale. The ALG rails are crazy cheap when on sale.
    Honestly, after having an ALG EMR V1, a Mk8 and now a Mk14; For 100% of my uses, the ALG was perfect. I'll probably get laughed at for the reasons why I built the rifle above...

    Both ALG and Geissele normally have Black Friday / cyber Monday sales.

    I got a 13" Centurion CMR M-Lok off of Ebay for $190.00 shipped. Very happy with it overall and redefined what a lightweight, slim, low profile rail should be in my mind. Colt seemed to agree with this consensus as well.

    That being said, I would have a hard time NOT buying on of those MK14 Geissle's for future builds. Everything they build is just awesome.

    I've used rails ranging from the issued KAC RAS to DD LITE III's to Midwest industries MLOKs. Since I got my Geissele Mk. 14, I don't see myself going with anything else in the future. It's not much over $200 either, especially when you consider the price of a rail compared to the price of the ammo you will put through the rifle.

    @rob_s Did you find anything other than the Troy Alpha?

    I mailed Centurion back in March asking if they planned on doing an M-Lok with a cut out for a FSB. They said they planned to but had no ETA. I'll follow up after the holidays to see if there's any more news and if they are planning to use the standard barrel nut or their own.

    I’ve been happy with my Colt OEM/Troy VTAC Alpha rail. It’s not the best rail on the market anymore and not M-LOK of course. It does keep the original Colt Barrel nut, gas block, etc in place if that’s important to you. I bought it used for less than $100. There’s some good prices on used VTAC rails from time to time as people upgrade to the newer style rails. It had been bead/sand blasted and cerakoted by the original owner. @Buckshot installed the IWC QD slingmount for me. Weight as pictured is 7 lbs 5 ounces.
