AR-15 Rails and Handguards

There are many different AR15 Quad Rails on the market, and it can be confusing to decide which rail is best for you.  Here are some things to take into consideration when ordering a rail for your rifle

• Length
• Ease of install (is a gunsmith required)
• Weight
• Gas Block Clearance
• Free-Float or Fixed Point

Daniel Defense has a good solution to many of these problems with their Omega Rail line.  These lightweight rails require no gunsmith to install their free float quad rail.  A Free Float Quad Rail is the best choice usually if accuracy is the main concern.

Most carbine length AR15s have a fixed 'A' tower sight.  If you want to install a longer rail than you have you will need a Low Profile Gas Block to replace your standard 'A' Tower..  Remember if you are going to attempt to install the rail yourself you may need the AR-15 Multi-Tool, and the AR15 Vise Block.
