Hello everyone. Currently I own a Bushmaster M4 Carbine (Post Ban), with the following attachments: -Aimpoint Comp ML2 -Laure Aimpoint Mount, with throw lever -Samco M33 -MP5k style forward Grip This is my first AR-15 and only one. Currently the M33 is nice, but it seems like it is loose, becuase I can grip the forward grip and "twist and pull" the two heatseheilds apart. As you can imagine this can wreak havoc on my accuracy. I am wondering if the Knights RAS system would be the cure for this problem. Being young with little funds, the $400 for panels, rails, and grip seems a bit steep. I am wondering what are the advantages to the RAS? However, like the Aimpoint/Tacpoint, you get what you pay for :). Thanks for your time! |
Up to the RAS quality????  They are actually MUCH more stable than the RAS. If you want to mount an optic on a rail, I would suggest looking at a FF rail system (TROY or LaRue)....C4 www.gandrtactical.com |
YHM makes both FF and ones that attach via the delta ring. For the cost the YHM is hard to beat. |
+1 My current entry gun is a LMT upper with the Surfire rail system. Im very happy with it. It did come loose after about 4 mags dumped full auto, but its my fault for not locktighting the screws like they recommend. |
 from BravoCompanyUSA I think they have them threw the EE for a few bucks less. I have them, and they are very nice and sturdy. I am going to use an AIMPOINT, so I suspect I can mount it without any problems. They index off the barrel nut, and the front handgaurd cap. It is a very positive mechanical indexing. |

try this this is what i have. it isnt a free float & it didnt cost $400. mine works great. much better than the firstsamco |
Same as what I posted... just more expensive. Notice Bushmaster's stock # YHM-xxxx |

The KAC RAS is still a very nice set up, and the standard at which all non FF's are measured by and now ther's a lot of shooters who are dumping them to pick up all the latest and greatest, laRue/Surefire/ YHM,etc you can pick up nice units for around $200 bucks on several Equiptment exchange boards. And a Free float on a Carbine is not really gonna make ya that much better of a shooter. At least not where 90% of us fall into or are really gonna notice., The only REAL reason to go Free float is if you want to put your optics out front on your handguards for a repeatable and consistent Zero. I like being one model year behind everyone else, cause ya still get a good model, but not at the new sticker price
