Hi guys, new guy here finalizing what parts I need for my first build.  Gonna do a 16'' , looking into the yankee hill machine free floating rails, they have them in 5 sizes, I am presuming I need either the 7.2'', 9.2'', or 9.675'', but how do I determine which one?  If it matters, I am leaning towards installing their forearm end cap also.  Additionally, I intend on using flip up front sights mounted to the top rail, as opposed to the standard sights.  Thanks for your help.  Joe.

if you want to cover up more barrel and use flip sights mount to the forearm itself go with the longest possible.



16" barrel with 12" rifle length freefloat

eklikwhoa, I presume that your setup in the picture is 16'' barrel with 12'' free float?  If so, I like that look.  Is that a YMH free float?

I have the 12" YHM Free Float rails (light weight version) on a 16" barrel.  The only downside to the setup is that it does add more weight than if you went with a shorter rail.

Here is the list of parts I ordered.
YHM-9627        Flip front sight assemblies for the FF tubes
YHM-9680 Flip up rear sight
YHM-9636 Full length light weight 4 rail free float forearm assembly
YHM-9378 Specter Gas Block
YHM-9484A Rail end cap
YHM-9621 Tool for forearm

Thanks guys.  Thats the kind of info I really appreciate.  By the way your guys guns look sweet.  I have most of my stuff picked out and ready to order, except for the barrel.  Can you guys recommend a good place to get just the barrell, most of the places I have seen sell them with front sight posts and standard hand guards which I don't need and dont wanna pay for.  Also, what specs should I look for in the barrel.  Is 1:9 noticeably better than 1:7?
