Thanks
Yeah Your not the first. I have moved it around a couple of different places. That just gives me a good sight picture. I had it moved back about 3 slots so it was on it, but it felt like I was using a scope more. Itll probably get moved again before all's said and done http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w624/arnie555/Ar15/ar1_zpsd8db2f62.jpg Aha got it to work. Thanks for telling me how to do it

About the handguard, I want to FF. I like the Knights Armament Company (KAC) RAS Long Free Float Handguard sold at BCM, but its over $300!! I can't afford that. I know the quality is top notch, and I know the price is directly attached to the quality, but does anyone know of another company that makes one of these in the 100-200 dollar range. It does not have to be exactly like this one.

Midwest Industries has a couple really solid choices in your price range.
The "Gen II SS" are about $180 and the SSK Keymod rails about $200. http://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=450 SS http://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=1211 SSK I like the barrel nut / handgaurd interface that Midwest uses and the Gen II rails are used on a lot of Core 15 rifles. |

I like the Gen II SS. How is the quality? Ive only ever heard good things about midwest, but never used one of there products
Also, its a 16" with a mid-length gas system. A 10" will cover the standard A2 front sight block completely once I cut it down right? edit: also I looked at the Troy Industries BRAVO BattleRail - 11 Inch Model - Flat Dark Earth. Its sold at BCM for $149, so I'm assuming I can find it cheaper somewhere else. Any experience with it? |

I have a Troy Alpha (bought a while ago) and I don't like how the rails mount to the barrel nut. The Midwest ones have a much more secure mounting interface. Also some of us are boycotting Troy right now because they employ someone from the Ruby Ridge incident.
You should go with the 12" or even 15" rail, you'll love it. If you cut down your front sight base it will clear just about anything. |
