I'm looking for a cost effective 10'' rail for my carbine that will go over the delta ring. I have a bushmaster XM15 flattop. The cheapest rail i found which covers the delta ring is Midwest Industries at http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/Midwest-Industries-MCTAR-24-p/mctar-24.htm I would also need a low profile gas block, so i was going to go with a Yankee hill low profile for $35 at the same website. http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/YHM-Low-Profile-Gas-Block-p/yhm-9381a%20lowpro%20gb.htm Are these two parts compatible with each other and my Bushmaster? Does a cheap gas block matter? Can i trust websites like these? First post still new to ARs feel free to call me out if im making any dumb mistakes, thanks! |
| I want a free floating rail and i like the look of the continuous top rail that the removal of the delta ring provides. I dont know what your talking about with the twist on rails, but if they give me that look with free floating for less money im sold. If not, would the MI and yankee gas block work together and work with my Bushmaster? |

Though it is a little bit more than the MI rail - the DD Omega Rail is a lot of rail for the money. www.danieldefense.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=109 Just my thoughts. Todd (edit to add - the mid length version is not available yet - so it truly doesn't apply or really even answer your question).  |
Stick did a good write up on the Omega rail Here |
the durability is on par with just about everything else the DD rails are known for their strength and being unbelievably lightweight. that rail linked above is lighter than the HG and delta assembly it replaces. |
$200? Unless I missed something - it is more like $50 - perhaps $100 for the mid length when they come out with it. It looks like Rainier has the 7" in stock - www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=854 As far as the differences go - I can only say check out the review in the link above and decide for yourself. If you are looking at the MI and it does everything you need it to do, then that is the easy solution. I'm just a big fan of the DD stuff - so I thought I would throw it in there. Todd |
