Some time ago I swapped out the standard handguard on my AR with a freefloat Troy Mlok rail. It’s their 13” black variety. It does the job, but it does seem kind of heavy compared to what I would have expected for an Mlok rail. Also Troy isn’t a brand I typically think of when I think about “quality.” I’m sure it will handle all normal use, but how does this fare with other rails out there?

Yeah, I had a different setup planned, but my gas block needed swapped out,
so it was decision that had to be made in the moment. And this was literally the last rail that the shop had in stock at the time.

You've only been here a few months, so I'll explain.

We don't like Troy.

Troy hired Dale Monroe. Dale Monroe was a FBI sniper at Ruby Ridge. His partner was Lon Horiuchi. Lon assassinated Vicki Weaver. Dale said he would have taken the shot, but Lon fired first. Once this was exposed, Troy stood behind the hiring of Dale Monroe. Irritating many people here, as it was a huge government screw up in the first place.

So expect to see some posts saying Fuck Troy.

I see. Well that was well outside of my awareness when I decided to purchase it at the gunshop counter because otherwise I would have had to wait longer to get my rifle back from the gunsmith. I just needed
something at the time and didn’t have the time to google it.

Politics aside, how does this compare to other quality rails? Are others lighter, better in other ways? Because I am pondering replacing it if doing so is worth the hassle.

People here hate Troy because even though they rail against cancel culture, they’re happy to participate when it suits them.

I love my Alpha rail, and I’ve been beating mine up for many years.

No. Boycotting isn't cancel culture. Cancel culture is destroying something or someone down to the person. Boycotting is refusing to purchase a good or service until change is affected.

What change are you hoping for? Per Aimless' post, they ended up letting the guy go. How long after correcting their mistake are they in timeout for? Do we still hate Ruger? Do we hate Daimler and Volkswagen? Do you have a Krups coffee maker?

Others are better in other ways.  Like the company who produced the part does not care if you are alive or dead.  That is a better way.

Troy is good to go.  I have Geissele, but would have no problem with many of their handguards.

Also, their BUIS are awesome.

I have a Troy quad rail from years ago...long before the drama. Its a decent enough quality component.
Its a rail...as long as its cut to the correct dimensions, it works. We arent talking about a meticulously engineered mechanism...its just a piece of metal that you are bolting to another piece of metal....and it never moves again.

Personally, i don't support Troy any more.
They showed their ass with that scene a few years back.
That said i didnt replace the rail on that rifle. Its functional, and getting rid of it isnt going to help anyone.

I just got a Midwest Ind. Combat rail.  I really like it.  Only 9.3 oz installed (11.5" rail).  Damn near identical to my SLR rail at a fraction of the price.

Meh fuck Troy.

If you’re looking for a lightweight, quality, and price friendly rail grab something from Midwest Industries. Good peeps.

Troy Alpha rails were used by the FBI on their 16: heavy barrel 1/9 twist Colts.  They are well made.  I have an early one that came with a built in flip up front sight that was on a used gun I bought, so I didn't buy it directly.
