Nice Rail(19/06/2009)
Great drop in rail for carbines. Light and easy to install with thin profile.
Omega 7(21/09/2009)
Great product, easy to install and rock solid! Would buy another DD product in a heartbeat.
Great product(25/11/2009)
This is an excellent product. Very install with rock solid results on my carbine length Bushmaster AR. Using a vertical forearm grip and still no movement. I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone with a delta ring setup.
"So easy a caveman can do it"(04/12/2009)
Would purchase another with no hesitation.
Amazingly Simple(09/01/2010)
This rail is amazingly simple to install. Despite the simplicity of the install, it is rock-solid. There is absolutely no play in the rail. This gives the advantages of a free-float barrell without the complexity of going to a smith to get it done. This is easily accomplished by the average user who possesses the ability to take off and replace the handguards.
By far one of the best rail systems(12/09/2010)
I was in the process of updating my now "retired" Bushmaster. After much thought and discussion with friends in the industry I opted for this rail and I have never looked back. If you can remove your original handguards you can install this one no problem. Contact DD and have them email you a copy of the instructions if you fear it's too much, it's not and you won't regret it at all.
Nice Rail(19/08/2011)
Not sure you need another review but this is a nice product. I am pretty handy but also inexperienced with ARs. I did not want to remove my gas block and barrel nut for a free float job. I also don't have much in the way of AR tools. This one took me ten minutes and fit perfectly.
Quality Rail(12/09/2011)
Upgraded to the Omega from the EZ Car rail that came on my Daniel Defense rifle because I wanted QD attachments.
Rail was simple to install. It's slightly more narrow than the EZ Car. Another quality product from Daniel Defense.
Amazing piece of equipment(06/11/2011)
When I first started installing the Omega Rail, I thought there is no way is this thing going to be solid. Was I ever wrong. It is solid as a rock. I absolutely love it. Very easy to install too.
Great stuff(12/03/2012)
Was told before buying a caveman could put this hand guard on. Although I could not find or purchase a caveman anywhere online or in stores I tried to put it on myself and had success within 10 min. Great product, solid, looks great, just what I was looking for.
Great product. Must recommend (09/03/2015)
I just installed one of these on my AR and I must say I love it. I like that it's free floated and requires absolutely zero modifications to your base rifle. I did it on my couch as I live in a studio apartment and have no workspace to mount a vice to and I was able to get it perfectly aligned with my upper receiver. If you're looking for the easiest free float and like a rail get this. Oh did I mention this is lightweight? I didn't notice any weight increase over the standard carbine handguards. It's also a DD so you know it's going to be tough. The only bad thing about it is the cost, which you can't really complain about because it's a brand known for toughness and is easily offset because you don't have to pay a gunsmith to do it for you.
Daniel Defense Omega Rail System(08/02/2017)
I was able to install the Omega Rail in less than 15 minutes on my Bushmaster carbine. There were no fit or finish issues and it was solid at both the front and rear of the rail. My Magpul MBUS front sight attached perfectly to the front and is solid with no play what so ever. This is an outstanding product for the price!
For the money it's OK(06/06/2018)
This handguard is machined well, and installs easily, with a tight lock up to the mil-spec barrel nut. My only complaint is that there are no heatshields on this handguard. After a long session at the range, the handguard got so hot I had trouble holding onto the rifle comfortably. If you buy this item, make sure you have a good set of shooting gloves, or your range sessions will need to be kept short. I'm going to replace this with a Knight's RAS. It may not have the cool factor of being free floated, but the RAS has heat shields from the factory, and has the same amount of usable rail space.
