| Looking to put one on my DPMS. Any suggestions? What's the difference between one that's 60bucks and one that's 350. Looking at going with a Knights Armement, but dont' know if I want to spend that much |

If you want toy parts, get the $60.00 crap made for Airsoft guns that are marketed to the real gun public...KAC are worth it...and so are many others.
They (KAC RAS) are abundant in the EE. I just sold a set for $150.00 with covers. You have many options...not just a $60.00 chicom POS vs. a $350.00 system.... YHM, DD...etc..POF...there are many options out there...all south of $350.00 Welcome to the site!

buy once cry once.
The difference in quality is huge. (machining, stability, rails in spec) Let me recommend either a Troy MRF or Daniel Defense Omega for your first. Both are pretty easy to install (don't require removal of barrel or front sight base), free floating, and are among the best. (there are others of course, Larue is amazing also. Midwest Industries is good, and even Yankee Hill makes good stuff. I don't have enough experience with them to say anything about the KAC, but they have a wonderful reputation) Here's two of my rifles. First one is a Troy MRF. Second one is a Daniel Defense M4 (requires a bit more work than the MRF and Omega)

YHM if you want a rail that is intended for use a a real gun (read, not airsoft) but stuff you want to mount may or may not fit on the YHM rails that may or not be in spec.
Troy if you want a rail that works well, is easy to install and will do anything you want it to and anything will fit when you try to mount it. LaRue Tactical or Daniel Defense if you want the cream of the crop. I choose LaRue for all of my free floating handguard needs. ETA: Just my $0.02 and it applies to Free Float only |
| I was deciding between the DD omega and Troy mrf because I wanted the lightest 10" 2pc for my post ban (nj legal) RRA. Trimming the fsb into a lo-pro gas block, shooting it with flat black high temp paint to prevent rust, cut off the delta ring, and mounting the rail took under 2 hours. Huge improvement over my previous rail (utg carbine rail)! |
