Hey guys, finallly in the market for a quadrail. Think I've narrowed it down to YHM for price and American made. Which model do you suggest for my MT6400C? Thanks for the help.

You really need to go KAC RAS on a Colt.  Anything else is....  uncivilized.

Just because it "works" doesn't make it "civilized"...

For what I paid for that lower, the YHM was all I could afford

I understand what you're sayin'. What kind of lower is that? Colt M16A2? Conversion?

Anyone have a part number? Thanks
4/7/2009 8:26:02 PM EDT
[#14]
The part number I used is YHM-9631.  Yankee Hill doesnt have them in stock but Brownells or Model 1 Sales and possibly M & A part will have one in stock for $100 bucks give or take a few.

this is the non FF version a friend of mine use on his Colt.
it's rock solid like my KAC but a little bit heavier.

To each his own... I would feel like a jerk though for not at least mentioning this. You are talking about putting bicycle tires on a ferrari. Just sayin'...

dude, please dont.    YHM is pretty iffy.   why not leave it stock until you have a chance to check out some other brands?

I am a firm believer in American made. I am also a firm believer in using top notch equipment that may save your life. I have not been fulling versed iin the difference between the KAC FF and YHM FF. Feel free to change my mind. Thats why I started the thread. Thanks

Man in that case you need to go KAC all the way. Its what the military uses and its  very tough. well mande and made in  the USA.  KAC  is  right  therer with colt.

Gene stonre himself, ( developed the AR15) was close frinds with Reed Knight (owns KAC)   they made the SR25 together. so KAC knows how to make good stuff for the AR15

you can find like new KAC  M4 RAS rails on the E&E of this site for  well under 200 bucks all the time.    the RAS is  the rail in the SOPMOD kit  and is simple and works.  others make great stuff too. You got to ask  yourself if you want a M4  set up like a military clone or  whatever. I use the KAC  myself.  

some of the FF rails requires a gunsmith to instal if you dont know much about working on the rifles
4/8/2009 4:52:27 PM EDT
[#23]
Yeah, I know how to work on rifles, and I have the tools to do so. Thanks for the info. Is the KAC RAS a two piece or a FF design? Thanks

Also, I have some 20 round colt mags that I was going to put in the EE. Could someone tell me what these would be worth?
4/8/2009 5:33:59 PM EDT
[#24]
you can get KAC FF  rails, but the RAS is two piece

what is the stamping on the bottom of the 20s say?

Also, what is my brand new carry handle worth? Thanks

trust me at the price I got the KAC RAS and VFG  I would have maxxed out my cc and bought a hundred of them if they were available.
