[ARCHIVED THREAD] - YHM Quadrail Question.

Posted: 3/22/2005 6:38:17 AM EDT

The YHM Quadrail handguards for a CAR I'm looking at are freefloating. I want to attach a Harris Bi-pod. Will I encounter any problems using a Bi-pod with these handguards. For some reason I'm thinking that the freefloat handguards won't be strong enough for use with the Bi-pod.

I know you can purchase a barrel forearm support...is this really necessary?

Thanks

There is no 'barrel forarms support'. That is merely a protective cap - the hole in the middle allows the barrel to free float, but it does not interfer with the barrel (at least mine didn't).

The YHM handguards are built very strong - you have no worries about mounting a bipod to it.

You're thinking wrong. They are made specifically for supporting bipods and such.

that's what I thought. Isn't it so the barrel doesn't flex when you put pressure on it?

Exactly. Pressure from slings, pressure from bipods, pressure from...
