Thanks! I really want a longer rail for the long sight radius, mounting room and being able to get my front hand out farther but I feel like the weight is gonna be a huge killer unless I spend 350 bucks on a rail
Troy Alpha, $160-$200 depending on length. Light.
I'm really wanting rail on all four sides, but does the alpha rail come with some rail sections to put where you need them? I'm wanting to mount an afg, light, and magpul mbus
Also, are Midwest industries heavy?
It comes with two short sections of rail and one longer section. BUIS on top, AFG on a rail section, and then there's several direct light mounts made by Impact Weapons Components so you don't even need a section of rail for that. The Alpha also uses a factory barrel nut. For me, the Alpha is the best rail available unless you want to step it up to the Noveske NSR.
I don't like the rails that use two little tabs on the bottom with screws running through them. That's the old TRX design, and Troy improved that with the Alpha. Around the time Troy came out with the Alpha, a few companies made rails that look very derivative of the old TRX design, and I'm not remotely impressed by any of them.
