The Troy weighs slightly more (the data I have shows less than 2oz more) when installed. The Troy also has a continous rail that is the same height as the flattop. The Troy costs less.
The KAC should be a bit stronger (as it also latches on the receiver rail, but it has that annoying 'hump' between the receiver and the rail system which interfers with the installation of some optics and BUIS combinations. Both are good choices, but I much prefer the Troy. |

Interesting. Is your receiver mil-std? My CMT upper and MRF-CX are the same height. Tango down panels work fine. I'd acutally rather have the Larue rail over either, but didn't want to fool with removing the FSB. |

I like both as well, but, like mongo, preffer the RAS II, except if you were going to use a EoTech or a traditional tube style scope. Becaue of the bridge mentioned by Forest, the RAS II is not very EoTech or tube style scope friendly. You would HAVE to mount the EoTech completely out over the handguards and the bridge makes using scope rings hard. If you were using a Aimpoint or ACOG, the RAS II is phenominal. It is very strong, light weight, easy to install and remove.
I really like the continuous rail style the Troy gives you, but you will have to take off your Delta ring, weld spring and snap ring. that isnt a hard job, but it is more permanent. The cost difference between the two is marginal since Knights lowered the price of the RAS II and if they are still running the deal where you get the free forward grip and extra pannel, the RAS II is probably the better deal. But the cost is so close I would use other factors to decide. |

I'm not the only one to have experienced this issue. My receiver is probably in spec, within tolerance and so is the MRF-C, it's just that the tolerance stack went against me in this case. |

If you plan on using an Aimpoint, I would go for the RAS II. For the price of a "shot show special" (RASII complete with a KAC vertical grip and an extra 6 rib panel roughly $275 RETAIL), why not? When I got mine about 2 years ago, there was no such thing as a "shot show special". With the aimpoint it is very functional, scoping it other than with an ACOG (TA01) wont work too well because of the lack of proper eye relief with the scope being too far back because of the "hump". Anyway heres some pics of the RAS II installed...

The continuous top rail, quality and price set this rail system apart.  www.TalonArms.com |

Keep this simple fellas.
The only reason to go with a RASII is to mount an AIMPOINT. Anything else go with flat free floating railed handguard. FWIW, I have a RASII on my M4gery, and swear by it. |

I don't sell this stuff so my response is not based/biased on that, RASII. For me. |

Well I don't think it's fair to say that about Talon Arms simply because they're a vendor, after considering what one is willing to give up and gain, it's a personal preference.
