AR Build ? Free floating rail suggestions

[Bmcox86]

Get a gen 2 Midwest rail. They are on sale on ebay threw a lot of vendors. I just picked one up for one of the current projects. Super light/looks great/ won't break the bank.

I really like Midwest/troy/seekins

Is Midwest and seekins the same company? I really like that rail but wish I could get my hands on it first. How does it compare to the seekins, I've held that one

No 2 different companies. The Midwest is 1.5" around and only 10.9oz with the barrel nut in the 15" .

The seekins v2  is 12 oz and a little thicker around. Plus has at 3 6 and 9. I am not a rail guy myself

The key-Mods are the way to go. Slim & light! You don't have to deal with all the unnecessary rails and you add rails only where you need them.

Excellent advice!  I have full quad rail handguards on my ARs, and even with ladder covers where my hand goes, those Picatinny Rails are sharp!

Agree with the key mod. I can't stand cheese greater on my rifles.

I just saw the new mono megalithic system and about fainted DADDY LIKES!

Was going to order a mkm for the long range ar10 but saw that system last night. I might have to smash my piggy bank for that setup

One warning--if you are looking for light weight, don't get the cast aluminum handguards with the front rails, like the YHM and RRA types.  They are not light!  The slim ones that you can add rails to are better!

I prefer the slim profile, lightweight handguard, like the Troy VTAC on my Black Mountain/High Mountain .223. Simple install and strong!

Thanks for all the advise, I decided on the seekins keymod, got to feel a couple different ones on rifles and it felt great and I like the ability of the keymods

[McCRIZZLEY]

good choice! It's a nice rail system!
