Good choice.
Check out weaponparts.com for sales on Troy and YHM. Hit up Bravocompanyusa.com for regular (read good) prices on YHM, MI, Troy, etc...
The Bright Lights guy in the ARFCOM industry section has the cheapest YHM stuff anywhere. Just a heads up...
I have a UTG quad rail handguard on my AR-15. It came on a complete upper. I can't see anything about it that would make it inferior to any other handguard. I have a bigass scope but it's mounted to the upper. I can't imagine why you'd mount an optic to your handguard but even so, I think my UTG handguard would be up to the task. I haven't mounted any tacticool crap to it yet, though, I guess it could explode if I put a vertical forward grip or a bipod on it or something.
It's worth waiting a bit longer to get a Midwest Industries, Troy Industries, or Yankee Hill Machine rail. If money is real tight- keep an eye out in our classifieds and over at ar15.com's classifieds for used rails, if you don't mind a couple scratches or dings you'll put in one anyway, you can save yourself some money.
i have used and sold hundreds of utg products they may be lower tier but they are a good quality product for the money
I completely disagree. With careful shopping and research, each and every thing UTG makes can be had in a quality product for not a lot more money. They design nothing, and rely on the research and development of major producers.
I agree with the last post. Disagree with the top post.
I don't mind mind used products....most of what I own is used....that's always where the best deals are. I want the free float so that I can mount a laser and not worry about accuracy issues. I am trying to make the rifle as user friendly as possible so that my wifey poo could just pick it up and use it if need be. She's pretty handy with a pistol but her little stubby arms (not as bad as a T.Rex) have trouble with rifles. Hope she never reads this!
