    Need Some Help Deciding

    Well got a question for you guys. I have to current deals working for two different rails. One is a Dallara Rail and the other is a Shadow Rail. I'm having a difficult time deciding which to buy between the two. I plan to use a simple ULE body, X-Valve, a Triton or an ULE Frame, and also a Stick Grip if I can get my hands on them. Now I'm just wondering your guy's thoughts and opinions on both of the two rails, what are some positives and negatives of both if there are any, or which ever one you prefer.
    Thanks

    (I know its not quite a tech question, but its in the general area)

    The Dallara Rail is AM/MM so the RPG stick grip may not fit , IIRC the Shadow Rail was made in AM/MM & full length , so again the short rail may not like the stick
    basic ? do you like flat or curvy , shadow = flat , dallara = curvy
    the shadow would keep with the straight flat lines your building , the dallara would break them up

      If you are going with the ULE body, I would go with the RT length rail, shadow. Otherwise the front of your body will hang over the edge of the dallara rail. That's just my opinion.

      As far as performance, It's just the rail. Not much to it. They probably weigh about the same. Dallara might weigh a little more, depending on the ULE milling. But nothing noticeable.

        Yup, I would wait till you find out what body/gripframe you're going to use, then try to get a rail to fit. KC has a ton of rails, and many others go by in the BST section.. If you end up using a ULE or full length milled body I'd get an emag/rt length rail. Also as MM stated, do you want a curvy look or a flat look? If you want a curvy look, find a rail with nice curves to match your body, if you want a flat look, use a standard RT rail or some other flat milled rail..
