I've been reading and learning from you all, but I can't find a good discussion about the qualities of the different manufacturers of Free Float forearms. Can anyone give me a good schooling in the cost to weight to benefits of various manufacturers and their products? I've been specifically looking at the Midwest Industries MCTAR-20X and the Troy MRF-CX. |

Alright the Troy will be a bit better quality and maybe a smidgen lighter But for that 2-3oz difference and MAYBE some better manufacturing you end up paying nearly 150 bucks more. For most practical applkications the MI will serve you just fine. I have one and the 2-peice design is wonderful as all you do is cut off the delta ring and installation is a breeze. I'd choose MI over Troy in your case. However for a varminting rifle i'd go with Yankee Hill's customizable forearm. And unless you are into the precision shooting scene or have a really long barrel, a free float won't make that much difference. Anyway, I vote MI, they make great products and you can't lose with them. |
