[ARCHIVED THREAD] - are the superlight m-4 from bushmaster good buys?

If they are, are forehand and top rail systems easy to come buy and who make the most compatible system for the superlight m-4 from bushmaster

If you're talking about the standard AR (aluminum upper & lower) then all the rail systems will work with the Superlight. My favorite is the Daniel Defense 7.0 because it's the lightest 4 rail system available and will weigh less than if you added a set of plastic M4 handguards.

Just be warned that the gas block ID is not the common .750" of most aftermarket gas blocks

Having a brain fart - what length (CAR or M4) handguards fit the Bushy superlight barrels?

And another one, because CAR and M4 handguards are the same length and will both fit a "superlight" barrel, that has a carbine gas system.

Does anyone know the specific gas block diameter?

it's 5/8th isn't it? .625 inches, the same as the original A1-profile pencil barrel.
