[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Help me pick a free float rail (Page 1 of 3)
Posted: 8/23/2013 7:15:46 AM EDT
Just ordered this along with a BCM bcg:
I'm going to need a rail, free float preferably. 
I want to keep it carbine length (7"), or maybe even extended carbine length. Theres so many goddamn choices, I really can't make up my mind... Luckily I have a couple weeks of penny pinching to make a decision. Then it's getting sent off to ADCO to get a Griffin Armament flash comp pinned on

Anything but a Troy! |

Those do look really nice. But I want to wait and see what the new Bravo rail is all about. |
|
I drool over those, but unfortunately they do not come in carbine length... Although an MK4 could change a mans mind

Until recently, I would have suggested Troy. I have been very happy with my Troy-equipped carbines, especially the one with a Delta rail.
There are many great options, obviously. Seekins, LaRue, Geissele, Noveske, MI, YHM, Daniel Defense, etc. I have a few DD and YHM, all of which are more than adequate for my dirt-shooting needs. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I'm looking at the Midwest industries rails

Troy?
I wish I could remember the brand of the rails I bought at Acadamy Sports in Georgia--and probably other states. The rails installed well and true, but it seems the width of the grooves in the rails were sized without considering the thickness of the 'anodize' coating--that looked great however and was nice and thick. I hated having to file it off and refinish them with sharpies to get the laser--apparantly sized to fit tightly in the grooves--to mount.

I vote for the DD Lite also. Put one on my 18" and it's awesome |

I might have to copycat your rifle Same BCM upper as yours, too. Are we about to become best friends? Install was super easy. I used snips to carefully remove the handguard cap, and a dremel to zip through the d-ring, back to the snips for the spring and done. Sammich the halves together and tighten. Done. |
