I'm thinking about doing away with my stock M4 Handguards and going with a Rail system. What's the bet Rail System for your buck?

Do you want two-piece drop in or FF? Sling mounts? Quad rails or just top rail? Modular rail sections? Need more info. What might be best for me might not be best for you, but I think that any rail that DD puts out is hard to beat.

Daniel Defense, Larue, SWS, Spikes....plus others

Pick a price range and features you want.  Go with a reputable brand and you can't really go wrong.

I just got a Midwest Indusries drop in, the MCTAR 17 G2 and was very impressed with the fit and solid lock up. It lined up perfectly with the top rail. It also has an extended rail to meet the receiver. $124.95

The best "bang" for your buck depends on your buck.  YHMs are fairly decent and very reasonably priced.  Check out brightflashlights.com for a price list.

Do you want a standard FSB or do you plan to go low profile gas block and longer rail?
There are so many good rails out there from Knight's,  Daniel Defense and others that we would need more info on what you are looking for.
There is no right or wrong answer, this stuff is personal preference.

These are my 3 favorites in Order, KAC is uber $$$$ but I sure do the fact they are so lightweight and have a built in front sight and QD swivels.

Lot of folks really don't look at them, but GG&G makes one of the strongest 2-peice rails out there. They are modular and not the standard 4-sided rail. Even better in my opinion.

As I recall, those rails are not popular because of their excessive weight.
