YHM Rail
I'm looking for a free float rail to put on one of my AR's, and I ran across these Yankees. I want it to cover my low profile gas block I have so I was thinking of the mid length. What do you guys think of the YHM float rails? Thanks for the opinions!!

They are decent enough. Some people will trash them because they aren't one of the big name companies. I had them on two of my rifles and liked them quite well. The gripe I have is the finish isn't strong and doesn't match as well as the big companies. With that being said: Go with DD!

I been wondering if I sawed off my front "F" sight and use it for just a gas block if the diamond series would fit over it nicley and cover it. Let say a 10" rail over a carbine gas system, pretty sure it will just wondering if anybody knows for sure. You'd have to take off your sling swivel too. You may need an 11" to cover up the whole front sight, not sure though. Take a tape measure to it real quick. What kind of rail are you looking at? |

Have the mid-length standard free-float version. Suits me and my needs just fine. Didn't realize how heavy it'd be when I had it installed on the gun.
Didn't like the looks of the lightweights but that diamond version looks cool. Consider the weight issues it will add. I was advised to go with the light weight model but didn't. Now, I wish my rifle was a little lighter. Anyways...I'd recommend YHM. No problems with mine. |

Also dHUTCH, is that a magpul pistol grip? How's that feel? Adds a little more something for your hand to wrap around when you're shooting. The angle of it isnt much different than your standard A2 grip but I find the A2 grips to be a tad bit too skinny for my liking. I like the little compartment inside that holds random stuff. |
