Which rail?

[dunkel]

So the next upgrade for my AR is goin to be a railed free float hand guard. I'm not lookin to hang a bunch of crap on it...just want to throw a bipod on the front. What are my options? Don't mind spending the money to get a good one, but don't want to spend more than I have too.

Thanks for any input.

I free floated one of mine but I didn't use a rail handguard. I used a knurled aluminum free floated handguard with a Sling Swivel attachment on the bottom. I then used a sling-swivel bi-pod. If you are sure you won't be using lasers, flashlights, etc, then you might want to save some money and go that route...

A Mono rail of course!

Hey didnt think about that. Yeah, good thinking. I'll check into it.

Which one did you go with?

I got mine from Model1sales.com but they have the exact one I bought at http://mapartsinc.com/productsDetail.asp?id=681

Model1Sales.com has some ventilated ones at http://model1sales.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=448

You might need to drill a hole and mount your own sling swivel screw. Some come with them. Some don't... Here are a few photos of what my long distance AR looked like with it before I removed the sling mount from the gas block and installed one on the free float tube instead.

Are you building a super tack driver?

No airsoft stuff. It's just cheap imitation metal.

Not really. I have a Leupold 1-4x Mark AR on it. 20" chrome barrel. I will be loading my own ammo for it, which will help. It's essentially a plinker, but I want it to be a good quality plinker.
