| Looking to buy a Mid Length Hand Guard for the new middey I ordered. What size do I need to get 10 inch or 12 inch... Thanks |

Quoted:
Drop in or free float? If it's drop in, IIRC mid length is 9''. If it's free float you can really do what ever you want. I am only seeing 6 inch which I know is carbine but all I can find is 10 inch which I suspect is for Mid Length, but you are telling me that it is 9 inch now I am really confused. Also explain the difference between drop in and free float thanks |

If you dont have a FSB then you can use any length rail you want, but anything 9" and under will leave gas block exposed.  |

He is talking about for use with a fixed front sight base. 9" free float LaRue quad rial on a midlength gas system with a fixed front sight base.

Most here will get just enough rail to fully cover the low profile gas block. Leaving it exposed looks like total shit in my opinion... |

Quoted:
9" for a front fixed sight base (free float). You are going to have to remove the fixed sight base to install. So, why not install a low profile gas block and then go with any size FF you want? No I have a fixed front sight on my rifle upper and I want to leave it on there so I guess it will be the drop in 9 inch rail. Any suggestions? |
