If anyone else knows where to find one please PM me. I'm on every notify list but not willing to pay the huge increase over retail some are attempting to charge. Looking for 13".

Hey guys check out ROG tactical out of CA. They are a dealer for noveske and have great prices and seem to get NSR's in often (they sell out quickly though). I got mine from there and they had great CS and shipped super fast.
I use to have a DD MFR on my Noveske but switched to the NSR. Did a little compare contrast vs the MFR on M4C
I just received my 13.5" NSR rail in the mail today and wanted to do some compare/contrast shots with the Daniel Defense MFR 12.0" it will be replacing. These rails are both similar in more ways than one. On a side note a big +1 for ROG Tactical out of CA. I ordered this rail at 3pm EST Saturday and it arrived today, great customer service too and free shipping.
Similarities
~Free floating
~Continuous top rail
~Slots for attaching accessories only where you need them
~Emphasis on weight savings and slim profile
~Made by reputable companies with a commitment to quality
Differences
~Barrel nut, with the NSR being theoretically more sturdy/a better attachment method
~Profile with DD being tublar while the NRS has squared but rounded corners
~NSR is lighter
~NSR has a anti-rotation pin built into it for those with Noveske/MUR upper receivers. Adds a little bit more peace of mind.
~NSR is shorter and thinner side to side than the DD MFR
Both rails use a very similar method of attachment for accessories. I included a couple of pictures at the bottom of this. It looks like the NSR is a more refined and compact method compared to the DD. Both do not require complicated or annoying backing plates that require removing the rail to install. DD only offers rail sections while the NSR offers direct mount accessories like the QD attachment. Hopefully other manufactures will start making direct mount parts as well.
No new information in my post but these rails are very similar and if anyone was trying to decide between the two this may help.
I'm getting this installed this week and look forward to the weight savings, even if it is small.
12.0" vs 13.5"
width comparison:
DD MFR internal profile:
NSR, ribbed for stiffness:
Beefy long NSR barrel nut, more than twice as long as the DD:

And I just realized this thread is over a month old.
Oh that's OK, you added a LOT to it. Thanks!Originally Posted by Serpico1985

Indeed. Pictures speak volumes, and I am sure helped clarify for many folks.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the photos!
You didn't happen to weigh the two, did you?
Echoing thanks for the info! Any heat discomfort during volume shooting?
The answer, it seems to me, is wrath. The mind cannot foresee its own advance. --FA Hayek Specialization is for insects.
Sorry for the delay. I did multiple 1-5 drills and bill drill with the gun my last range session and didn't experience heat at a level that was uncomfortable (without gloves on).
I only occasionally have access to a postal scale so I did not weigh before and after. The NSR is lighter by a few ounces (while being 1.5” longer). I think the NSR is like 7.9oz w/o the nut while the MFR is 12oz, could be wrong though. Before you start putting lights and stubby grips on the fore end it feels like your cheating. I probably would have been fine with a 11" but I'll take an extra 2.5" whenever I can get it
