Correct, aside from it having the most flex of any rail mentioned in this thread and that Noveske downgraded their material choice for the NSR. It’s no longer 6061 T6. It is 6005 T5 now.
Furthermore, if I can flex a 15 NSR with mere hand pressure to contact the gas block… there is something wrong with Noveske offering any NSR longer than 11 or 13 inches.
But when it flexes, does it bounce back or stay in the displaced position?
Almost every muffler clamp style rail does not bounce back. They squirm around on their worthless short barrel nuts
That is irrelevant in the context of the thread, though; the point of having a rigid handguard is to minimize any deflection of MFALs when load is applied, such as being jammed against a barricade or on a loaded bipod.
^ No, just no.
Hodge will eventually have his new ‘pinch lock’ rails available. Could be a long time though.
I also think the LaRue quad is an absolute rock. I like the keeper system. Although I am so paranoid about my own builds, idk if I installed 1000% percent correctly because my keeper isn’t equidistantly centered. Don’t mind my OCD.
Yes I am right. The vast majority of rails use a muffler clamp set up and all squirm on the barrel nut.
And everything Hodge is vaporware so meh

There is a real lack of 12" rails on the market. At this time, I’d go with a 12" ALG EMR V3 m-lok. It should be rigid enough to keep your MAWL zero. They are on sale now for $99. The new Hodge rail should be available at some point.
