| I'm looking to replace my Yankee Hill Forend with the full quad rail system. I don't like the feel of the un-used rail and the rail covers I've tried add to much girth and weight. I would like to switch to a smooth, free-floating, rifle length rail that allows modular sections of rail to be added. Any suggestions?? Thanks |

Centurion CMR. Great rail, very sturdy, very narrow and has modular rail sections.

I like the Troy alpha, BCM kmr, Midwest industries light weight.

Robust attachment, yet incredibly easy to install. Another +1 for the ALG EMR rails. There are 3 congifurations available. Full top rail, built in rail at front end, and full smooth. Price is incredibly low as well. They are made in the same house as the Geissele rails. Also, check out the Midwest Industries rails. |

Thanks for the info everyone! The ALG definitely deserves a look, especially at that price point! I do not like the offset rail mounting points, so my ALG options are limited for the standard 3-6-9 mounting points.
I also like the Midwest handguards, but they can get very expensive in a hurry. |

In all honesty, there is very little that can be mounted at 3 and 9 o'clock positions that isn't a light or laser. ALG designed their newer rails to accommodate lights and lasers in an offset position. Bill Geissele had sound reasoning for this. With most off hand forward holds, your thumb, assuming you use that to activate such devices, rests at the 1:30 or 10:30 position anyways. Just my thoughts. That's all. |
Lots of choices out there. I picked the Daniel Defense MFR 12.0 that DD sells separately. It is the factory rail on their DDM4V7 complete rifle series. Comes with three 3" mini-rails that you can remove or put only where needed. This photo is with only one at bottom front for bipod.

I really like my Apex extended mid rail. The waffle texture feels great and the mounting is strong while using the standard barrel nut. Not the slimmest or lightest, but a very good rail.
-built in QD sling sockets -modular rails to add a top rail, bottom, 3 & 9 -IWC makes light mounts that attach directly to it I'll buy another if I build a new upper |
