| Can someone suggest a cheap rail system? Something under $200? Does such a contraption exsist? |
|
I'm buying an upper eventually, and i found someone on the EE that'll add a MI ind. rail for an extra $130. What about flashlights? It doesn't really need to be all that bright -- its mostly cosemetic. And does anyone know where i could get a AN/PEQ-2 style laser that uses visible light? |

Eh i probably wont do alot of shooting at night -- i'm just trying to go for a specops kinda look (sounds retarded to most, but i'm young and stupid). But in a HD situation it should be bright enough to blind; i'm just saying i dont need to illuminate a football stadium or anything. |
please stop! obviously you don't need a light and if you don't want to get ripped for saying that I would just drop it and forget about buying a light. one of the most important things on a fighting carbine is a damn light and it sure as hell isn't for "cosmetic" reasons |
| For a decent PEQ 2 you are going to pay alot unless you get an airsoft copy. A good one is laser devices OTAL for over 400.00. As for flashlights you might look at a surefire G2 with a pressure tape tail cap. You can get the tail cap from pelican lights for about 20.00 I think and mount it with any number of mounting systems out there. I understand building on a budget, and it can be done and done good but you want your flashlight to be bright, save the money from a laser and invest it in a light or in optics. |

FIRSH is Very heavy. In this price range, go with the MI or YHM IMO. |
+1 the MI looks great and is priced right. |

John210 IMHO, save up and buy the best equipment for your weapon. It won't fail when you need it and you'll save money in the long run. Quality equipment will last a life time. Buy one piece at a time. You'll end up buying quality equipment sooner or later. ___________________________  |
+1 on the firsh. I have one on mine and it works great for the price. $99 for the carbine model. Threads right onto the supplied barrel nut. It gives you one long rail down your gun if you are running a flattop. |
Another really nice laser is the LDI LAS/TAC for around $250 with mount. They are just as nice as the LDI OTAL but just not a cool looking so I don't know if you would like that one or not . You can also try a Surefire G2 with shock isolated bezel for a cheap (price wise only) weapon light. If you are looking for a drop in rail system that won't hurt the wallet too bad I think the Samson drop in rail would be nice for under $200.

In the $150 range, the MI is the best, hands down IMHO. Since you said $200 was your limit, I'd give the Samson non-FF a try. They look more along the quality of KAC. Either way, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. As far as the light goes, I'm torn. I say go quality or go home, however, most of the guys who are on this board, have never used their weapon mounted lights to identify and blind their targets (at least none that shoot back), and most never will. Most of the guns here are just SHTF guns, for "just in case the zombies get here." Don't sweat it. |
