randomly saw one online somewhere of some guy that only made 15 or 25 of them, searched and searched and searched finally found a guy in sweden that sold me it for 80 bucks. i couldnt be happier with it honestly, fits and looks perfect and still has the same protection.
thanks for all the good feedback |

5lbs 8 ozs and it needs no batterys.

is there no way to add a piece of picatinny to the front of the tube? then mount a folding front sight ive been thinking about how to do that and i think my only option is to 2ton epoxy a small rail in place to attach a Magpul back up sight, then again i do not know if itll be the right height or not because of the CF free float? |

outstanding  Agreed! 
ARonly, how was the YHM lower to work with? I've built ARs on several different brands of lower over the years, but never one from Yankee Hill-I had no idea they offered them. The few YHM parts I do own are pretty solid, so I'm curious about their lowers. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile i havent found a bad lower yet honestly, ive put together alot lowers that are hard and easy.... and the YHM lowers seem to be the easier ones? who knows maybe the harder ones are better? I havent a clue but aslong as the pins stay in place im happy. |
