I have installed 2 YHM lightweight qua-rails and one tube. All went on without a hitch are were rock solid. That said, for a little more, I like the Midwest Industries T-series rail much better. I think YHM has better quality for-ends than Mid west Industries T series. Mid west are good and all but the finish they use is somewhat lacking (reminds me of cheap easily scratched anodizing on a set of cheapo $15 wal-mart scope rings). I ordered a MI T-series rail in carbine length from BCM for an M4(ish) build I was doing. When I opened it I was very happy the the look of the rail but mounting it was a different story. It left about a 1/2" gap between the rail and the front sight, even with a hand guard cap on it left a sizable gap. Not happy with the sloppy non fitted look, I returned it to BCM the next day and ordered a YHM 4rail carbine tube(not the light-weight). I was VERY happy with the fit of YHMs rail. YHM makes their rails the gas system length spec. meaning that the end of the hand guard will come up flush with the gas block shoulder, so NO GAP. I've since then ordered two others from YHM, a specter length diamond and a rifle length diamond. And I'm even happier still with those. |

I just rebuilt my m&p 15x with a YHM diamond free float, lo pro gas block, and 5c2 flash suppressor. Solid nice stuff. No complaints. Here's some pictures:

Gaboonviper85 what barrel is that? The finish is nice looking It's a yhm 16" chrome lined 1/7 twist carbine gas length:-). Finish is very nice but I do wish it was "more black" to match the rest of the gun. Keep in mind that there is a light coating of oil on it which reflects light differently....it is an odd color park but it looks more grey in the pic than it really is. |
| I'm hijacking this thread a bit. I'm looking to build ether a 14.5 or IN middy build and i want the free float rail to cover the gas block with the free float rail and to leave only a little bit of the barrel showing. could i achieve this with the YHM diamond rail but buying it in a rifle lengh? there website doesn't say how long they, but as a poster above has said they design there rails to buy up right behind the gas block/front sight post. |

Not from personal experience, but I have heard that MI stuff is no good. Out of spec of something, I am sure a google search will give you more information.
I have installed a FF Tube from them, their new stuff is really nice. My buddy wanted a nice target rifle, but didnt want to spend the money on the tube, in the end 90% of his rifle came from YHM, good stuff. But would agree the DD and the Spikes are better. But in the DD case, are they 2.5 or 3 X better, IDK. |
