Building out new dmr

[NJRaised]

Slowly building out a new dmr. Geissele super duty upper and lower receiver, solgw lpk, geissele trigger, a5 buffer.

I really like the Geissele mk16 rail with the built in arca. Are there any other rails with machined in arca? I haven’t seen any aside from the sgt of arms .

Looking at 18” barrel (223). Heavier, but not a pig . Any recommendations? I know there are so many good barrels out there currently .

Thanks in advance.

I like the Geissele MK16, not sure if any other rails are available currently with the ARCA machined in, wish more folks would do so though! I added arca rails to a couple of my gas guns, they work great but having them integral in the rail would be superior.

You can get the geissele upper receiver with the matched handguard off gunbroker for like 350$, I've got a 16" and 18" stainless green mountain and the difference is minimal so you could go 16" and save some weight.

There is another company with a machined in arca (they make the ones for the IWI zion rifles) but no idea if they are good or not.

CMT has an Arca HG, they also produce it for IWI. The only difference is the IWI has a steel barrel nut vs. aluminum in the CMT.

Craddock also has the CMT Arca rail with a steel barrel nut. It's not on the website but if you call him you can get one.

If you're not looking for something custom, take a look at the Douglas 18" barrel from the link below.

The Proof Research SS 18" barrels are a solid choice for DMR barrels.

Craddock RTR Barrels, fair price and Sub .75 Accuracy from the ones I've tested.

I love the idea of a built in arca rail but if you plan to do a lot of barricade shooting/matches where you may shoot off rocks etc, I'd consider a bolt on one that's easier to replace when it gets dented up too badly!

The milled in ones do look fantastic though and are less cumbersome in hand.

Ripcord industries also has a new one that looks very intriguing. I may try the one with the shorter ARCA section on a new build

Don't you mean the Geissele MK 18 rail - with ARCA built in?

It's 16.5", which precludes your using a 16" barrel.
