Troy TRX Extreme 9"

Could someone measure the actual length of this rail for me?

I was wondering if it was actually 9" or if it was 9 1/4 or 9 1/8.

Looking to run it on a mid-length 14.5 that has a low profile gas block as was wondering how much gas tube I’d have in the open. If there was gas tube that was uncovered by the hand guard, could it be a problem during heavy use?

Thank You

Measured at the top rail, my 9" Troy TRX is just a red, curly hair over 9-3/16"

Very good thank you sir. Much Appreciated.

Red, Curly Hair… Haha
