The MI 2 piece is a nice rail. It locks together, and is a nice, tight fit.
ETA- I was thinking of the MI 2 piece NON-FF rail. Sorry for mangling your thread. The FF rails are fine to mount an optic on. |

Does anyone make something that is capable of an optic mount under 200 dollars?

 Not exactly the pic you were looking for, but it is the closest I got. MI#17X on a A2 type upper carbine. (in the white) |

not a real fan of optics on handguards, but the MI#20 (free float) $163 (requires removal of delta ring) |

I was thinking about putting a 552 on the handguard

Stick, are you referring to the MCTAR-17 two-piece handguards that are not free float or are you referring to the two-piece handguards that are free floated? I was under the impression that as long as it was a free float rail then you should do ok with optics on them. I know why not to on non-free floating handguards. Just curious.

The best way to mount your 552 will be to change your upper receiver to a flat top. You can get a decent one for around $100.00 If you have to keep the A2 upper, I would reccomend getting a Bernie-Cooley or PRI gooseneck mount because it will be a more stable optics platform than a non-FF forearm. If you are dead-set on keeping the A2 upper and putting it on the forearm, your best bet is to go FF, but this will bust your $200.00 budget. |

The MCTAR-20 that he mentioned in his initial post is a free float rail and it retails for $163 @ BravoCompanyUSA.
ETA: But I do agree that a flat top is a better alternative. |
