The top and bottom rails didn't have enough height. Enough people complained about the Tango down grips not fitting they brought it closer to spec. Even on the old ones, most accessories fit fine. If you want a set, go talk to brightflashlights. They can answer your questions. They sell on the EE and have a section on the industry forum. Most all new ones are fixed, IIRC. Just ask!

I do plan on buying one soon, I'll check with "brightflashlights". Do you know if it was the Tango vertical grip or the grip panels didn't fit? Thanks.

All of the four rail systems(free float & two piece handguards) that have been coming off the line for at least the past two months are the new spec which has the higher clearance so the TD grips will fit.
New YHM rail height clearance -  Old YHM rail height (will take new pics asap, below are photos I had on file) -

WOW, what timing!
It was the TD vert. grips that had the problem. |

I wish they would make a version with only top and bottom rails.
But with very low/slim side rails that accept plastic covers. One of my least favorite things about 4 piece handguards is that they are too wide. |

I have a set on my rifle and think they are great. In one of these photos you can see how well the surefire mounts to it.

Are the railed handguards that are made by surefire any thinner? Also, does the lack of heat shields with the YHM handguards cause any problems during rapid fire if grip panels are used? Thanks. |

The SF M73 h.guards are a bit narrower by approx. 3/8" IIRC. Please note, the top rail of the M73 won't be flush with a flattop receiver. As for heat, the YHM do an excellent job at dissipating heat due to the large cooling vents and their general construction. The M73's will actually get hotter quicker than YHM due to their heatshield design. |

that's a great point about the top rail lining up.
That's why I like the YHM's. I just feel like 95% of folks don't use a side rail, so it is just a wasted effort, and it makes them thicker, to boot. |
