https://yhm.net/accessories/forearms/smooth-freefloat-ar-15.html

I am considering the rifle length. Found it on a lot of sites with decent reviews, but can't seem to find a single video, not sure why. Does anyone have experience with this particular forearm? What are the good and the bad about this? I like the quad rail at the end of the tube, and it saves me the trouble of getting rail pieces on other smooth forearms.


Other one I am considering is ATI FS8. http://www.atigunstocks.com/rifles/ar-15/ar-15/ar15-forends/ar-15-aluminum-8-sided-rifle-length-free-float-forend-with-fs8-nose-cone-and-utility-rail-package


Would love to hear which one is a better choice?

Thanks!!!

Those are good. Have you seen the midwest industries rails ?

The GEN2 SS rails are super light and have a similar price point.
These

The YHM's are pretty standard.. if you going to get one.. get one that has a perk at least.

I actually have a 20" with 15" G2SS. It's pretty nice but a little too skinny to my liking. It really didn't feel right in hand until I got the hand panels. So I don't think I want another one that skinny.

ATI has stepped up their game the last couple years. Can't vouche for all their products but the FS8 is decent. Look up on YouTube Sooch00's review of it. YHM is GTG too. As someone else suggested Midwest Industries rails are good. I have the SSK Keymod for a recent build.

if you have large hands, get a G1 SS. I have banana hands and the SS G1 feels great. I like the G2 also, but it feels like I'm shooting a pencil when I pick up my wife's rifle LOL
