It seems the trend moves to smooth except where you need it.

Resale value is probably low?

I only had one on a rifle, and I replaced it as soon as I could.

I think you can grate cheese with the damn thing.

I can't even give it away, nobody wants them.

Buy what you want. No need for the hive to tell you what to like.

I have guns with quads, dickmod, M-lok, and regular old plastic handguards. They all seem to get the job done.

I’m not replacing the quad rails I have, but I haven’t made a non-clone rifle in anything but MLOK for years now.

I have a few with them. Plus a keymod.

Just curious

Damnit!  I got the AR of my dreams done a few years ago with a quad rail.  It's on a Seekins upper that it bolted to and is now about as firmly attached as a rail can be.

It's also heavy as hell and has nothing on it other than a magpul strap mount.

I need to accessorize!

I sure fuckin' hope so.  Never saw much use for them.

Nope.



Use quad rails to do hood  stuff with my friends at night. Work dandy.

I prefer quad rails. All but one of my uppers feature the cheese grater, and the odd MLOK will be replaced with a quad ASAP.

Knot really.

Couple others I bought

On the contrary, I feel they are delightfully "gangster" in appearance.

In fact, I am looking to purchase one to go on a mid-length barrel with an A2 front sight base.

I believe it must be 9 inches in length.

They are my favorite. DD RIS, DD Omega, Spikes SAR. I love Quad rails.

That MI T series is on point too.

I'm thinking about building another ar with quadrails just cause I like the look with fde ladder rail covers
Link Posted: 2/17/2020 8:37:46 PM EDT
[#34]
It's an evolution, just like any other.

No rails, to awkward rail mounting solutions, to *OMG, they put rails EVERYWHERE!*, then to "do we really need to rip out hands up on a 9lb handguard for one flashlight?", to modular rail mounting solutions.

Think of mlok and keymod as quadrails that already have the rail covers installed.

I wouldn't replace one I already had, but I wouldn't buy one for a new build.
Link Posted: 2/17/2020 8:38:24 PM EDT
[#35]
I'd say no because I still like them and aren't that concerned with weight. As far as resale value, I wouldn't count on getting my money back unless it's something the cloners want.

I have zero reasons to replace my KAC RAS II.

I wish the DD profile took off.

Having the sides slimmer than the top and bottom makes too much sense.

Quad rails are awesome and make the most sense for putting unneeded crap on a rifle for poseur mods ....but still a    lotta GD  pussies will claim its to rough  or heavy on there feminine hands

They are going the way of the doh doh.

I think they were a great innovation and really advanced the modularity of the AR and other weapons, but things move on and they are done.

Is it though?

I choose quad rails on serious rifles. Less deflection on ir lasers. Less shift on CNVD’s. Much more stout.

Only have one left, a YHM diamond.
I want to machine the side rails off of it and use for an SD style AR9.

Quad rail was always a poor solution. I never owned one. They worked until someone came up with a genuinely good idea.

If m-lok / key mod were first, quad rails would be the best thing ever right now.

My DD Omega is just a tad too slim IMHO.  When I tried using my Thorntail adapter, the SF Scout light wouldn't clear the front hand guard cap.  On the other hand, my Troy drop in quad rail worked just fine, but is significantly fatter across the horizontal plane than the Omega.

Are you mounting those to the sides and bottom of your rifle hanguard?
