Ok.... I'm looking for some high quality quad rails and wanted opinions on Samson C, Daniel Defense 7.0 CAR or MI Quads for a 16" Carbine. Which of the three are better? Or are there better ones than those out there?

Quoted:
The Daniel Defense would be the highest quality of those three. What's your price range and what do you plan to do with the rifle? Shoot stuff! j/k I want to add lots of goodies over time and want it to be of solid, pass it down to my son or daughter type of rifle. pepcpatty |
DD makes awesome rails, however if my memory serves me correct than all their stuff requires a special barrel nut. This means either do it yourself (if you have all the tools) or take it to a gunsmith (expensive). I think Larue is much the same. Samson is great and MI isn't bad either, but I actually like the Troy MRF's better. Most of the medium range models all connect directly to the standard barrel nut and require minimal gunsmithing. But that's just my 2 cents worth, which with inflation these days amounts to about nothing.

the DD gets my vote.
as for the "special" tool, you don't need it. i use a RIDGID RapidGrip. it will put some *marks* on the nut but the rail covers most of it up. you could use some tape or a leather strap to prevent the marks but i kinda like'em
