Does anyone have a Surefire M73 Picatinny forend for the AR15/M4?  Just want to know how it compares to other forends like the knights and other like aluminum forends.  I am seriously considering getting one.        

Not to hijack this post but a rhetorical question drifted through my mind....

[i]"Now that SF wants to build suppressors and rails does that mean KAC, LMT and DD need to build lights?"[/i]

just pondering,

this is completely my personal opinion. I'm posting it since you haven't gotten many other replies.

Stick with companies that have been doing this for a while. Preferably companies that do this almost exclusively such as ARMS or Knights.
When a company is specialized in a certain product, such as surefire with lights, and moves on to create something totally different, it's mostly just a ploy for money. Kinda like the recent star-wars movies. No efford was put into them, and they sucked big time. But they sure made someone very rich simply by placing a well known name on it.
But thats just me. (hope that made sense)
