Daniel Defense releases stubby 9-inch MFR rail

Daniel Defense is offering a shorter 9-inch version of the popular round MFRTM 12.0 hand guard. The 9-inch version has the same mojo as its bigger brother -- lightweight modularity, a continuous uninterrupted top rail and three adjustable 3-inch picatinny rail sections at the three, six and nine o'clock positions. The 9 inch is a great rail length for a 10.5-inch barrel. It'll give you a little room up front for just about any muzzle device, including a can that might need a little room to overlap the barrel.

The MFRTM 9.0 has an outside diameter of 1.76 inches and an inner diameter of 1.61 inches, and it weighs 13.39 ounces. More info at Daniel Defense's website.
