Come January 1st my 300 BLK is getting torn apart and redone. I could use some opinions to consider.
Here is my gun as it sits right now.
The scope and 45 degree sights are coming off. So is the rail system. It currently has an 8.5" 1/8 barrel. I am wanting to tuck my can up under the rail so on black Friday I bought a 12" Radical Rail. My can is 9.5" long and adds 8.75" to the gun so figure with the 8.5" barrel the total length will be 16.5" with 4.5" of my can sticking out. The radical rail looks like this.
Now here is where my problems start. PSA put the 12" YHM Todd Jarrett rail on sale. I already have one on another SBR and I love it, plus it weighs almost a full ounce less than the Radical rail. I couldn't pass that deal up so I bought one today.

I figure once it gets here I will install the one I like more and sell the other. Pretty sure I am going to go Todd Jarrett since it will match my 22 "Ghost Gun." The TJ is 12.5" though so that will cover up that much more of the can.
So what say you guys. Which rail would you go with? I don't care about the keymod on the radical rail and just went with it because it was thin, light, my can would fit under it, and it was a good deal.
The other thing I am considering is since I have a free thread job from Dobbs Defense coming is perhaps cutting my 8.5" barrel down to 6.5" since I never shoot this gun unsuppressed anyway. That would leave 2" of my can sticking out from the front of the rail.
