I'm slowly accumulating the parts to add to my AR, once it finally arrives. Just bought a rear flip up sight off a guy on AR15.com last night. Now bought a flip down front sight off Armslist this morning. Now to win the Vltor CASV on ebay this weekend.

Yeh... It's really not. Not for a good ar15 rail

Those Troy Battle rails are nice. If I ultimately don't get the Vltor, those are one of my other options.

CASV-EL

I like the sleek look of it as compared to traditional quad rails. Plus I don't have to remove the barrel nut, etc which I hear can be a real PITA on RRA's fresh from the factory.

Sweet rail.
Is that a free float or drop in?

It is sweet. That's what I was gonna go with if i kept my FSB, only the CASVM.

It's really as drop-in free float. It's a two-piece free float. I assume you'd just have to cut the delta ring off.


I do agree that it's nice to not have to change the barrel nut. That's why I'm getting the Troy, it uses the stock barrel nut.

Ok help me out guys.


Buy a midlength free float rail for my midlength AR and keep the front sight. OR
Buy a 15" free float rail, cut the front sight and then buy a flip up sight?

Have a M4 front and it has the fixed sight. So I have to cut the sight if I want to go with a rail more than 7"?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 
yes. you'll either have to cut it above the gas tube area and grind it down to fit under a rail, or take it off and put on a lo-pro gas block of some kind.

Depending on the rail you choose you may have to remove the barrel nut and replace it with the provided one.

You can always go DanielDefense, but the look doesn't appeal to me :2.

Yeh. i think that's stupid looking and you'd be better off with a 7" :r

Plus side to shaving the FSB down and putting say a 15" rail like i am is you can put a flip up or fixed sight on the front basically giving you rifle length sight radius, even a lil longer, which will increase iron sight accuracy.

I agree, it does look retarded. I think I'll just stick with the Magpul MOE guard for now. Going to a long rail is too much work for my lazy butt

Nice guns and suppressor Mike!
