AR-15 free float handguard.

 I want a free float quadrail for my DPMS carbine. I know I need the 7" one but what else is needed to put it on ? Thanks Allen

If you are talking tools, I think it depends own which type. I want to say I grabbed a Daniel Defense one for mine and didn't need any special tools (if I did, they provided one with it).

No was wondering if I needed to buy a barrel nut or if the one on my AR now would work. Right now I have the stock glacier guard on it. I'm looking at either the Troy industries 7" or there 7.2" either one would fot my AR correct.

I think my DD came with a new one and the tool to install. Sorry, don't know about Troy, and it's been a few years for me.

Most quality rails come with their own barrel nut and mounting hardware. More often than not, they also come with the Allen wrench or tool to install.

MidWest Indusrties does quality rails for a good price. I have used them on basic AR builds. They are stout, made well and don't break the bank.

Thanks guys Hammer i was also looking at  the Midwest Ind. T-series saving $ does help. Them and Troy are the only ones with dark earth to match the stock and pistol grip. I should be able to get off the delta rings with a DPMS multi tool right. Sorry for all the questions but i'm new to this whole black rifle thing. They are like a Jeep you cant leave them stock

Any AR multi tool will do it.

This is a 15" MidWest Industries T-Series on a 17" AA 6.5 Grendel.

Sampson rails here.  Sampson makes one exclusively for Rainier Arms that I am fond of.  Evolution it may be called.

They are nice rails with a style of their own.

Midwest Industries is a good bang for the buck but if one is talking quality. Then I lean toward Mega, their machining work is out of this world and for those with "Soft Hands", invest is some quality rail panels/covers. They are cheap considering the overall cost of a build.
