Great pics in here. Thank you! This might be a stupid question but what exactly is a recce style rifle? Edit: looks to be some form of precision rifle? But what exactly makes it a recce |

13" rails on the two rifles on the right. The far right is a 14.5" barrel. I think 13" is a great length.

Yep, 16" Stainless Free Floated rifle with a magnified optic. If you read the thread, pay attention for Augee's posts. He explains it in quite a bit of detail. Essentially it was a short lived custom system that was developed and produced for a select few units that desired an M4 platform that had the abilities to accurately reach out to longer distances then a standard M4 could.

Ill probably go with a 13 inch rail, just not sure on brand yet. I want something kind of light weight but still want to be able to have rail on all four sides |

This is either a 10 or 11 inch rail on my LWRC M6A2 . All it says in the description on the website is mid-length handguard and i'm not at home to measure it.

Yes, a 9" covers a shaved down FSB perfectly. |

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

12" YHM diamond rail on a 16" PSA middie. Handguards are a littler bigger than others but it's a light rifle.

I'm wanting to mount an afg, light, and magpul mbus Also, are Midwest industries heavy? |

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. |

MI SS-Gen 2 15" rail on a 16" barrel with a Surefire muzzle brake (MB556K-PN). I needed the long handguard length to get the weapon light out the window, but I didn't really care for the look...just a little too long in terms of aesthetics and my personal taste. The longer brake definitely helped the looks, although that's not why I added it (like any ultra light weight rifle, it makes it easier to keep on target).
FYI - This is a super light handguard....this rifle weighs 8.75 lbs unloaded as you see it, with the 3-15x42 Zeiss scope (also very light), AD mount and Harris bipod. |

(That's a KG GunKote gray lower...not a shitty anodizing job!) Centurion Arms C4 Mid-Length Cutout rail....another ultra light rail. Quad railed and only a few oz. heavier than the MI tube style rail in my above post....these are incredibly light and strong....and expensive ($320-ish). BAD ASS rail, though...absolutely in love with it, and I've had it long enough for the new to wear off. |

I guess I don't really need a quad rail as much as I thought, I won't be mounting much to it anyway and I'd like to save as much weight as possible. Ill definitely keep the alpha in mind when it comes time to buy. |
