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.

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. :tup:

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. Their cheap considering the overall cost of a build.

Consider this an official warning to avoid each other, we are getting tired of unnecessary comments!

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 AllenBack to the original topic.
What type of gas block is up front? Is the rail going to cover it, is there a front sight in the way? Just some things to consider.
I think almost all free floats come with a special barrel nut of some sort, the normal spring loaded D-ring that normally holds standard handguards in place will no longer work. If you have a front sight post, it will need to be removed so the tube can slide over the barrel and it might be in the way of the tube depending on what length you get. Since this part is aligned with the gas port and then a spot for the pin is drilled, changing gas blocks can be a pain and I was told once it would be better to start with a whole new barrel/block combo or cut the front sight off and leave the gas portion of it in place.

It is simple to drift the pins out of a standard factory front sight post. Most quality gas blocks, low profile or railed come with one or two set screws on the bottom of the block and pins are not needed once the original pins from the factory sigh post are removed.
:yeah: I forgot about those.

Get yourself a Hockey puck or two.. drill 5 or 6 different sized holes in the puck.. line up the pin with a hole in the puck when driving it out,, NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER to the finish on the firearm. Pin is captured into the hole of the puck. Done deal.
Easy Smeazy Lemon Squeezy... :chuckle: :chuckle:
I have 4 or 5, of various configurations always around.

Here is what I have always used as a gunsmith for driving pins out...

There is a specific block made for this, that the barrel and sight lays in. One side says "Out", and the other side says "In". You can't go wrong that way. :tup:

There is no sight on the block, just a rail on the top. Not going to cover it either.

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.
