Since WarSport's LVOA rifle and associated rail came (and went), flat nose rails have been out, and cut-out, scalloped, and angled rails are the in thing.
When Spear Mfg reached out to me to test out their new rails, I was all in.
Spear Mfg is a parts manufacturer and wholesale distributor out of China. They also OEM for several large companies.
For this review I pulled off an old Midwest Industries SS GEN 2 and installed Spear's rail.
Installation was very simple and has a clever locking mechanism. The barrel nut is quite large, about twice the length of MI nut.
Installation took less than 30 minutes, I also
The rail includes 2 QD swivel cups on the 3 and 9 o'clock positions near the base. They are not rotation limited. What was a nice surprise is that they included a QD swivel with the rail. While I opted not to use it, the swivel does look like a nice entry-level piece.
The rail I opted for had minimal pic rail fore and aft, and is handily covered by a folded MBUS. The front of the rail has solid panels on the top half everywhere else is MLOK cuts.
The rail has a small inner diameter, which allows for a good, full-handed grip. However, it was so slim that I originally had trouble mounting the section of MLOK rail due to the location of the gas block.
There are parts that just fit with certain guns. This rail is one of them. It just feels great in the hand and looks perfect on the rifle. The rail is nice and sturdy with no wobble and no barrel wobble.
I really like this rail and it makes this rifle one of my favorites. If you're looking for a cut out rail, this is a good option.
