    Need help with choosing a rail

    I recently purchased a logic frame off a guy on mcarterbrown and I'm now trying to choose a rail. I have this project planned out in my head and will be using a pariah body and one of Lukes Customs gas through grips along with the frame. Now, I've read that since the trigger guard on the logic frame is larger, that not all rails will allow a foregrip. So my question to the AO community is, what rails can I use that will work with the logic frame? I'd like a somewhat compact look aka the foregrip rather close to the trigger guard.

    Here's an example of about how close I'd like my foregrip

    You'll need to use an RT/Emag length rail, which means your AM/MM-length pariah body will be too short for a clean look.

      I'm assuming that if I use the Pariah body with an RT/EMag length rail, it would look similar to this? Where the rail sticks out past the front of the body?

        On the photo shown the front is to your left and the rear to the right. That is an rt/emag length rail shown.

        Personally I have always liked the look of the Thrasher rails.

          Which is what I need if I want to use a foregrip. I'm saying that if I use an Emag/RT rail, the front of the rail (front of gun) will stick out more than the Pariah body correct?

            Yes it will.

              Ok, what i thought. That's not a big deal to me if it goes past a little.

                Any ule rail will work as long as it is milled with the slot in the front. The logic trigger guard is a tad bit longer but not so long that its going to take over the whole rail. The slot down the center, which most if not all ULE rails have will allow you to adjust the forgrip back and forth to your liking

                As for your second question The tops of those bodies were milled down but the bottom part of the body is still there and sits flush with the rt rail. The bodies are just ULE bodies with the fronts milled partly off. A rt rail is what you want to use with that body.

                  Thanks for the input Ando. Yea, I've decided ill use an RT rail. Ive contacted Luke to have one milled for my specific app and the way he talked, it wont be a problem.
