Tactical Upgrade Kit for carbine length AR

[bigmuskie]

This is a good deal, the Midwest Industries rail alone was on average 123.00 to 125.00. The Magpul stock is almost 60.00. It even gave me the option to pick from one of the four colors. I was thinking it was only going to be sold in black.
149.99 package price, plus 7.00 shipping= 156.99, not bad. Ordered mine in foliage green.

Nice find it looks like, if I had the money I would be all over this. Thanks for posting.

I want a quad rail but man I just can justify the cost right now, too many other gun goodies I want.

I've read some reviews and watched Youtube videos and it seems that most are satisfied with the Midwest Industries drop-in rails. Daniel Defense might be slightly better, but if all your wanting to do is spruce up the look of your ole AR, this is the ticket.

I will agree with you on that. I hadn't planned on building a third AR (still working on the second) but I couldn't pass this up. When the time comes to build the third AR, I'll keep my eyes open for a used one.

The deal that Cabelas has/had on the Smith&Wesson AR for 600 would have been perfect for this upgrade.

Oh, and you're welcome. I'm hoping someone here will also take advantage of this deal and have a renewed interest in their carbines.

Just my opinion, but if you're concerned about having a free float handguard on a 16" carbine, you're an idiot

Why? I know mine is rather cramped with my red dot and magnifier. Free floating rail would allow me to mount my scope on it without losing zero. This is just what I have been getting from everything I have been reading/hearing basically everywhere (mags, arfcom faq, shops, etc)

You want to mount your red dot on your hand guard?

You want to mount your red dot on your hand guard?

to make room for the magnifier and BUIS

[ThreeFingerPete]

You must have a crazy ass set of mounts or a non folding BUIS. Almost everyone that I've seen runs the 3x over the top of the rear sight.

And just a heads up: That rail setup is non FF.

Holy shit people are so fucking nit picky. It was to represent the location of the sight, not the rails I want. You seemed confused as to what I was referring to, so I provided an example.

Like I previously stated, the flat top on my A4 is rather cramped with the red dot, magnifier and BUIS. Maybe its the brand, maybe its the placement. Who cares? I stated the reason I wanted the FF rail. Unless there are some actual applicable statements/questions to be made about it, I really dont see the need for any more discussion on the matter.

So that there isnt any more discrepancies, I searched Google for "sight on free float hand guard" and that was the first pic that I saw that was representative to my situation and what I was looking to do.

[ThreeFingerPete]

Don't cry sweetheart. You'll be okay. I don't care if you put your red dot on a barrel clamp past the FSB, if that's what makes you happy. I think that more rail space is definitely the solution you're looking for, and my point with the second statement is that it's not necessary to have a FF hand guard, as distinguished by that vltor piece.

Wouldn't it be "So that there aren't any more discrepancies"?

I'd do similar with my next weapon (to the original post). I have FF on my 18" bull barrel AR, and to be honest I don't notice a difference from the A2s I fired.

If it were just a 5-10% price increase, I'd just do FF on everything. Why not? However, cost vs benefits seem null. In my case, my next rifle is going to be all iron sites too.

Now, if my life depended on it every days like Soldiers and Marines clearing buildings overseas - another 100-300 dollars seems like small price to pay for peace of mind. (assuming anti rotation tube...etc)
