I'm looking into getting a free-float for my Rock River Entry Tactical. I'm going to go the DIY route. I was looking at this Yankee Hill here one but I'd like your opinion on this (I don't do builds).
Thanks in advance, P2P |
| I'm using a YHM free float; not that particular model, but a similar one. Mine's a bit older, it doesn't have the anti-rotation screws or threaded holes for swivel studs. But it definitely improved the accuracy of my rifle. I feel like I got my money's worth from YHM's product. |

I had a YHM FF railed handguard, the LITE model. Locked up tight, but the railed had a slight oval shape to it. Rail covers were a BITCH to put on, most likely cause the rail was slightly out of spec. I didn't like that it wasn't T-marked as well.
The YHM is a good in-expensive FF handguard, there are better ones out their if you have the money. I'd look at Troy or MI. If money is a factor and all you are looking for is an inexpensive rail and you don't have astronomical requirements for the gun, it should work just fine. |

From what I have heard it's an OK system.
Something a bit more proven would be a VTAC handguard which has the "rails where you need them" concept. It's about $60 more for a product that you can configure exactly how you want it. Found HERE. IMO it's a sturdier system and looks to be more comfortable. YMMV, IMO, etc.

I have a YHM Light on my spr. If this is your first railed ff you will not be disappointed, but if you've handled higher end models than you'll be wishing for more. What differences can I expect in terms of quality with a different company say MI? There have been a few posts about how the YHM rail is or might not be up to par in a combat scenario, how would that be? Is it a matter of it not being solid enough? Thanks for the input guys. P2P |
| The YHM and a few others like Larue, (I think), require removal of the front sight and barrell nut/delta assembly. When I get my new barrell and build my first upper from scratch I think I will use the YHM lightweght one. MI and Troy guards fasten around the barrell nut but require removal of the delta assembly. For easy install, I like the DD Omega as there is no mods to the rifle necessary and it uses the factory delta assembly. I used a DD on my carbine and it locks up nice and tight. I have one Troy 10" on a Sabre upper and it's also very nice but seems a little heavy. |
