Don't see a whole lot about these rails on the web.
Are these rails good to go? Looking to try something new for my 9mm AR. |

I had one....
I love the design/astethics of it. It felt solid on the barrel nut. I since got rid of it, so I could utilize my Lantac BMD. At first the rail was advertised as a 11in. That actual is 11.6in, and with my 11.5 barrel, the setup wouldn't work... I am now waiting on the Lantac Spada M. The biggest issue with the system is, the barrel nut wrench. The metal is hella soft. It will most definitely get misshapen, to the point it will be almost useless. The setup comes with shims, so by time you try a few to see what works you may end up fucking the wrench up...I had to get another wrench and expressed my concerns on the poor material choice. I don't know if they converted to a captured style wrench or a thicker, harder material. Only concern is the wrench. |

The wrench might be a deal breaker for me. |

It was frustrating to deal with... once i got the second wrench, i made sure that the shim(s) were dead on and just getting to the requirements torque, fucked the wrench up.
For $250, they needa do a better job on the wrench... I have to tell you stay away. I highly doubt they fixed the wrench. I can only assume I was the only one who brought up the issue to them. Far as new rails coming out Samson and Lantac has some good ones on the way. |
