I'm not a big fan of quad rails, the only time I need a rail is when I'm using an IR illuminator for night vision, and I like it on the side. I'm considering making a custom handguard out of some pre-preg carbon fiber and machine a coupler and slip fit over it. I'm not in any big hurry and it's about time for another project.
I know what you mean about quad rails, and dang near everybody has one for sale. I don't mind a single rail across the top, but I damn sure don't want the typical quad rail. I'm going for a more streamlined look and quads just add unwanted bulk. I'm deeply considering the JP hand guard I linked. I'm diggin' the round holes.

Samson MFG is what I would look at if I was you. Single rail across the top. Easy to mount to a standard barrrel nut. Easy to install and remove in general. Very solid peice. I have 3 of their tubes and won't buy another brand again.Fuck you. We're going to Costco.

I was thinking that if it didn't fit, I'd sell it to you (discounted of course).

Originally posted by 5.0_CJ View PostI couldn't use that one for my setup, I have a pistol length piston setup so I'll need the pistol evo with the top cut out. I do appreciate the offer though. I'm waiting on a barrel, should be here in about 3 weeks so that's when I'll get started.

Originally posted by bigmuskie View PostIm gonna order one Samson and try it anyways. If it don't work, it would give me a reason to build another rifle. Juat thinking here, I wonder if there would be enough material to have it turned down just enough to fit a suppressor inside.
