Thinking about buying a set of these for my delton mil-spec carbine. Does anyone have any negative experience with them?
And secondly I'm never going to sell the rifle (its my first AR) so, should i just cut the FSB/Delta ring or buy a low pro block and do it "right"? |

And secondly I'm never going to sell the rifle (its my first AR) so, should i just cut the FSB/Delta ring or buy a low pro block and do it "right"? Nope love mine. Probably going to be putting one on my 308AR I'm building. I prefer the original non-keymod version, but that's because I'm not invested into either Keymod or M-LOK yet. As for the FSB...that's your call. I personally like having a pinned FSB, so I just buy rails that work around them. If you don't like it then you can cut it down or you can get a low-pro gas block. I'm cheap so the few builds I've done for myself that I covered the FSB I just cut them down. Friends guns I've worked on I've built them that way if they want to save some money, or with low-pro blocks if they want to spend more. If it's non-adjustable and you're not chasing grams/oz for a lightweight build I don't really see the point to paying for a low-pro block unless you're building off of a stripped barrel |

I have the Rainier Arms edition. Basically the same thing, and it's great! http://i.imgur.com/Y9vBHMXl.jpg I love those Gen1 Rainier Evos... The newer w/Keymod I think are kinda ugly... Still lighter than my Rainier quad rail.... Its been years ago, but if I remember correctly its 15 oz's (11")

15" I bought used from a Stag 3gun upper. Pic is of a 20" 6.5Grendel. Now with a different scope setup. Edited to add: Same Samson rail except keymod that Ruger uses on their Precision Rifle so it can't be that suck http://www.ruger.com/micros/rpr/models.html  EQUIPPED WITH A SAMSON EVOLUTION KEYMOD HANDGUARD.May be configured with any AR-style handguard  |
| I have 3. 1 on my 3 gun rifle, 1 on my wife's SPR, 1 on my SBR. Only issue so far is on my SBR, they transfer a lot of heat so it gets hot. I was having problems holding my SBR at 3 gun matches in August and Sept when I did not have a lot of down time between stages. Haven't cracked the nut on how to deal with the heat transfer yet.......thinking of partially wrapping the hand guard with 550 cord or putting a suppressor sleeve over it. |
