I'm thinking on putting a free float tube on my 16" Middy. What are some of the better options out there for this? I'd like the tube to have some tapped holes for mounting attachments later on (like a nice small bipod), I really like the look of rails, but I think I'd prefer a tube since it looks much more comfortable to shoot. I really don't need TONS of mounting area that a rail has anyway. Here's what I'll be putting it on.

For a tube-style customizable tube, the JP V-tac is probably the best out there. Or, get a Daniel Defense or Larue rail handguard and put ladders on it. |

Thanks guys for all the help. I really like the design of both the JP/V-Tac and the Badger Ordinance Stabalizer of these two, what one looks to lock up tighter? I'm thinking on getting the rifle length JP/V-Tac or B.O. Stabalizer and installing a lopro gas block. I think I'd like the longer tube length for a longer sight radius and also better mounting of a bipod. |

CASV-EL for carbines I keep saying it over and over and over, I can't understand why it's not the number one selling FF system. No removal of anything, rock solid, 3 colors to chose from, shrouds the FSB and I'm willing to bet the lightest. For a carbine there isn't anything in the same ball park. |
I'm sure both will lock up perfectly tight. The badger is heavier then a round tube. If a few/several ounces is a concern, you should check the weight specs. But on my DPMS I couldn't tell any difference. I got mine from NVBGear, he is a board sponsor, www.nvbgear.com there is a user I think his name is DM1975 that has the badger also, I got it based on his praises of it, and am glad i did. |

I decided to go with the JP V-Tac rifle length. It had pretty much everything I wanted. I really liked the way it locked up on the receiver. Will post a picture when it is installed. Now I just need to find a front sight since I will be cutting my original down to make a lo pro gas block. |
