AR15 Quad Rail

[Bearco]

Who makes a decent quad rail for an AR? Carbine length.

How much are you looking to spend? Free-Floated?

Yankee Hill Machine - Most economical - But some don't like the design
Daniel Defense - Free Floated and Non-Free Floated - Omega rail requires no modification of weapon
Larue Tactical - A bit more expensive than the others, but has a good product and great following
.
..just to name the top guys

Just finished researching this myself. What's your budget? Daniel Defense, Larue or Troy are supposed to be the best but are in the $250 range.

I personally went with YHM, seems like decent stuff and good value. I'd say realistically if you stay away from the bottom of the barrel (UTG) anything will be fine.

$175-$200

I'm partial to midwest industries but there are plenty others

yankee hill, daniel defense, larue, etc etc. im sure others will chime in.

$175-$200

in that price range, you're looking at YHM or MI. I prefer the latter in terms of aesthetics.

YHM quads are all under $100 on Brownell's with dealer price "cheat".

I got the YHM customizable FF tube, flip front sight/gas block, FF tube end cap, DPMS AR multi-tool and a couple Accu-wedges for under $200.

Ordered a Larue on Monday and it shipped out today yes kinda pricey but it is going on a LMT 14.5 w/ a permed vortex so I wanted the best and since i got an 11 incher on my reece I needed a 7 on my m4 clone.

Don't you need to have the rail installed before you pin the Vortex. If it's already on there the DD Omega is the best option.

There is someone selling a Midwest carbine rail in the classifieds on here right now for $100, I'd snatch it up if I were you.

 

[Bearco]

looking now, thanks

 

[Bearco]

thank you, I was really wanting a free floated rail. How much will the non free floated rail affect accuracy?

Im pinning the vortex myself so after I install my rail it will get pinned to make a non-nfa weapon

I have the 2pc Midwest on my duty gun, it shoots great. I trust my life and the lives of others to it, so take that how you will.

When I do my SBR I'm getting a free float, just cause I can and like the looks or the continuous rail surface. For the money that 2pc is a great system, when I first bought my gun I was on a budget and paid about $100 for them on the Arfcom EE
