[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I need a quad rail, which one? (Page 1 of 2)

I sold the SLR rail off of my 11.5" pistol (form 1 pending) and I'm looking for a replacement. I've decided to go with a quad rail and I'm a bit out of the loop.
A Daniel Defense MK18 rail would be nice, but I'm not paying $500 for it. I would also prefer a 10" and I think the MK18 is 9". I'm looking to spend about $250 but wouldn't have a problem spending up to $300 for something nice. What's recommended? ETA: Lightweight is a must and I strongly prefer something slim. I realize SLR makes one, but I don't like the mounting system. |

I don't think that any are "superior", they're just different. SLR rails are far superior to the 90's tech of quad rails. It's not even debateable. MLOK or Keymod, either way you add a rail to mount where needed and don't add a rail when no mount is needed. Saves weight, and the egos are bigly enhanced. |

Saves weight, and the egos are greatly enhanced. Well SLR makes a quad rail as well. I would go with KAC URX 2 or 3.1. |

URX2 10.75 should work since the muzzle shoulder on your 11.5 will be just slightly ahead. Also, the MK18 rails are 9.5" long 
Bottom one is 11.5 300BLK with the 10.75" URX2 https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7416/16370147520_7517757112_b.jpg I like the URX, but it's difficult to get one assembled seeing as how the wrench is so overpriced; |

DD Lite rail 3.0/DDM4 rail has a similar profile to the RIS2, but is lighter, uses a simpler lockup, and is a single piece design. I looked at that, but the bottom rail sits pretty low for my taste. I do like the DDM4 rail, but it's about $100 more than I want to spend.

Â I could see being disappointed if you were expecting something slim though. |

What's the cheapest (heavy is fine/preferred)Â free float quad rail for a 20" CMP/NRA Hipower build?Â
I can't see any point in a modern FF system for this, since the only thing that will get attached to it is a sling, and it has to have all 4 rails per the rules. |

Quoted:
I picked up a couple of DD rails; both original M4 and Lite version FSP off the EE for a song. Please, keep the "cheese grater", "heavy" and "obsolete" narrative going. I have two more ARs I need to equip. If you look at those aluminum cheese graters, you'll notice it has holes reminiscent of keymod slots. I think keymod will grate cheese better than a quad actually would. Anyone up to the challenge?
