Tried searching but I cannot, for the life of me, find this rail. Anyone know what brand it is? Looks like a cross between the VIS and Samson…

Its hard to tell, but looks like a LWRC rail.
Costa’s Rail…
I have never heard of a gheyer thread title in all of my life…
Got you guys to come in, didnt it? hahaha! All Kidding aside, thanks CageMonkey!
hahahahaha! sorry kabayan!
seriously, yeah, looks like an LWRC piston gun, no gas vent holes on the bolt carrier.
Monolithic upper/rail assembly?
I don’t see any break in the upper rail.
hmmm…
Where did you find that picture?
Look at the rear of the rail, I’m pretty sure the bolts there allow the upper portion of the rail to detach, giving access to the piston and op rod.
Why the quest? Looks like a Daniel Defense or Knight’s rail would serve the purpose just as well. Troy makes one that is a very similar two piece as well.
It looks like a Samson to me
I smell a mancrush…
Agreed… it does look like a Samson (and if it is, they are HEAVY!).
It looks just like the one on my LWRC, except I have a 14.7" barrel and no TT:(. And you know who makes that rail, right? None other than ARMS. The top half of the rail comes off to access the piston and rod. It matches up perfectly when you take it off and put it back on. The problem is that it is very undersized from 1913 spec. I would look elsewhere for a FF rail.
A.R.M.S. virtually made the specs for 1913 (or at least they were a major force behind them becoming standardized), so it seems very unlikely for an A.R.M.S. rail to be out of spec. Don’t get me wrong, I completely dislike A.R.M.S. as a company, but the above seems… very, very unlikely compared to the item you’re attaching to the rail being OOS.
If that’s not bad enough, think of what all of our status shows as right now: “viewing Costa’s Rail.”
I lol’d.
LWRC all day long.
LWRC. And IIRC he was doing some testing for them.
But all of us looked…
