Troy-easy to install and cheaper
Larue-Good quality and warranty Daniel Defense-Lite rail is very light and well made but $$$ |

Larue is the best that I have looked at...... and I looked at a whole lot of rails in person before I spent my money..... that with the fact that I love the company, my decision was easy.
none of the others (besides sws) were even close to the larue in percieved quality. ....... YMMV Pilk |

besides a CASV or RASII I can't think of another rail that actually locks like the LaRue does with the included locking tab and screw that lock the rail in place to the upper.

I guess Larue is still the front runner then!

I've tried Larue, DD (not the lite), YHM, ARMS, Troy, KAC, POF and PRI (I'm sure I'm forgetting a few others). Larue is my favorite. I would group the rest (except for YHM) as second. While Troy and ARMS are easier to install, I'd go through the extra trouble of removing the FSB for the Larue. Here's why:
Great finish Locking mechanism More narrow than most - I don't like the oval feel of DD |

Yeah I would say Larue is easily #1...followed by Daniel Defense.

Cool. Thanks guys. I think I'll be getting the Larue 9.0 for my 14.5 inch M4. Unfortunately, I'll have to find someone to machine off the permanent phantom so I can take off the FSB and install the qd YHM phantom suppressor.

Most of the people we want to be are using either Larue gear or the new Knights stuff.

i have a 14.5 with perm FH... so no removing FSB, thus no larue without removing bbl (ain't gonna happen) so, what is choice B for FF but no FSB removal?

No new KAC for me, even though I do have a MRE version of the URX on order, if Wes ever gets it. I still like the "old" FF RAS, on some things I just refuse to follow the crowd and do the in thing
 LaRue makes great mounts and their handguard is pretty nice too, for the time being I'm sticking to KAC and DD, I'm a loyal customer

CASV-EL or RASII I think they are both top notch. Asidse from the LaRue with it's locking system that engages the upper I don't think there is anything as solid as the VLTOR or KAC RASliII. I almost forgot the ARMS line of FF rails but damn if they don't seem heavy to me. The more I mess with the CASV the more I like it. Now I'm rambling.

I have two rifles with LaRue rails, a 7 inch and a 10 inch. I also have a 9 inch rail for a future project. I have one rifle with a 10" Troy rail on it. I like the smaller profile of the LaRue, it feels better with rail covers on it, smaller in diameter than either the Troy or DD. I have a vertical grip on my Troy gun so the diameter is not an issue. I had a 9" DD lite rail for a short wile, the machining quality was much lower than either the Troy or LaRue. Also my Tango Down vertical grip was rock solid on the Troy and LaRue rails but wobbled a lot on the DD rail. |

Which active duty units are using Larue handguards? Or is it just individuals using self-bought ones?

Larue for SPRs with low-pro gas block. I like the Troy for pinned A2s or any gas block that would not allow easy removal of the tube for cleaning. I almost ordered a Daniels(not the Lite) but I dont think it has a anti-tilt devise between the barrel nut and the upper. A FVG on this handgaurd would make a good and very expensive Barrel wrench. The Lite model does but its $100 more than the Larue.
