Welcome to the site.  Please keep in mind, I am TRYING to stay within your budget. I would like to show you the choices you have, and then allow YOU to make the money decision, rather than to say, "You should get this no matter what it costs." I would hate to see you buy something, and then hate it and buy something else, and have spent more money than if you bought the one you wanted from the beginning. (if that makes any sense... it is kinda late right now.) First you need to decide if you would like to Free float the barrel or not. Then You need to decide if you would like to disassemble the weapon (remove the barrel) in order to attach your ras. If you don't want to free float, look into a Knight's Armament ras, or a surefire mentioned above, or a YHM. If you want to free float, but don't want to disassemble... look into an ARMS SIR, or a Troy Industries MRF. If you want to free float, and don't mind taking off the barrel... look into a KAC FF ras, A LaRue Tactical ras, or a Daniel Defense ras. Also, when you decide to get your red dot, LaRue tactical makes EXCELLENT mounts for BOTH the Aimpoint and the Eotech. These mounts attach to the flat top of the UPPER RECEIVER (which imho, is a better place to put optics.) I would try a search on the above to see pics and check features, and then check the EE for GREAT prices from arfcom dealers, like ADCO, G&R Tactical, MSTN, etc etc (placed in alphabetical order so as not to play fav's.... they are all good companies.) Have a good one. Stainless |
| +1 on the Yankee Hill Machine 2 piece. Just got a set for my wife's M4. Very robust, well made and fit tight. She's only had it for about 24 hrs, and don't know if it'll stay put for optics mount (I doubt it...it ain't free floated) but it's rock solid with the light and vert grip |
| Its easy I can push the delta ring down far enough to make it a 1 person job.If the spring in the delta ring is real tight have some one help while you pull down or get a handguard removal tool,Bushy sells them.YHM 2 piece is what Im getting,I already have the RAS pannels and tango down grip wich altogether cot a little over $200 so I saved at least $120 by not going RAS.The 2 piece guards do fit tight and I went that route because I wanted a fore grip and wanted to mount my aimpoint between my A2 rear and front site.If I had a flat top I probably would have just gotten a single rail for my bottom guard and used the flat top for the sight.I like the stregnth of the fixed handle so I went the handguard/rail way. |
