Are Surefire rail systems any good? Looking for opinions?  Pros/Cons. I am going to be putting it on a RRA Entry Tactical.

Suggestions welcome too....

I have the m73 on two rifles and think they are awesome. Rock solid lockup and after many thousands of rounds still solid.

i've got em. as above, they lock up solid and havent moved in the 2 years i've had them on. only thing that might be considered a drawback is that the top rail does not sit flush with the top rail of the AR's upper receiver. this doesn't affect me as i dont ever plan to bridge anything between the receiver and the rails, however to some its a no go.

I really like mine for what it is, a non-free float system.  All I put on it are a VFG and light.  If you think that you might want to add optics or pointers to the rail system or just want free-float in general, cough up the extra $50 or so and get something like the Daniel Defense Omega, which doesn't require you to modify your weapon like most other free-floats.  Also, the nice thing about the M73 is that you get the nice SureFire ladder rail covers and you also get the capability to add KAC rail panels if you want.

They work, but there's better out there for the same $$$.

They work You've heared the problems. It does a great job by not getting HOT. Very cool for a hand guard/ rail system.

I would have to agree with this statement. I had a 2 pc setup. It was very solid and well manufactured. I think you could get something better for the price though

I have one and know of several other users.No complaints as long as you locktight that sucker on and mark it to monitor movement.Mine is rock solid and I got it a smoking deal here on the EE.
