I'm looking at a rail system for the upper I asked up in a previous post.  Link to  Which BCM Upper thread.

My options are:

1) Magpul MOE Midlength
   pros: weight and price
   cons:  durability, lack of mounting options, lack of ventialtion
2) Troy Ind MRF-DI
   pros: weight,durability, mounting space
   cons: size, rail covers desirable, profile
3) DD Drop In
   pros: weight, profile, mounting options
   cons: price, price and price

I don't want to spend a ton of money,  but I want something effective and durable.  I will mount a vertical grip, no questions asked.  A laser or light have a high probability of mounting.

You can add rails to the MOE handguard on three sides. Plenty of options there. If money is your main concern, you can't beat Magpul.

The Daniel Defense drop is only available for carbine length.

It would be hard for me to spend alot of cash just to run a Light & FVG

I dont care about FF a M4 myself

So I would go with a MOE  and save the extra money for a class or a light

The MOE is better than you think.

I would recommend you look at the Omega series rails from Daniel Defense. You can get those in carbine, mid and rifle length. It is a drop in rail that also free floats your barrel. They cost a bit more than a standard drop in, non free float rail system but they are very nice.

Midlength moe is fantastic. Helps you save a bunch of money for other items and gives you the option of rails. If your just running a vert grip and a light I would highly suggest the moe.

the MOE is a glorified set of loosely fitting plastic HGs, like all plastic HGs little rail pieces can be added to it

i own a set of OD MOE HGs and i've also borrowed a set of black MOE HGs, neither of them fit tight on a Colt or an LMT upper.

why is it better? because it has Magpul stamped on the side?

i swear Magpul could shit in a box, slap their logo on it, and this site would be tripping over their dicks to be the first ones to own it.

DD would be my choice too.


 



ETA: I do have some MOE HG's and they are fine but they do reside in the box they came in.
