    Does anyone use Quadrails anymore?

    Surfing around the webs I put down a impulse bid on a 13" Troy bravo quadrail and ended up winning with a bid of 56$. I feeling like I got a heck of a deal but I'm doubting my purchase a little bit. I feel like it will combo well with my PSA CHF 16" barrel with pinned gasblock that I plan on shaving down. Weight is no big deal as this gun doesn't serve a specific purpose that weight becomes a factor (mostly sits at the back door for yard security use). So chime in if you still rock the old school quadrail and feel free to post pics.

    I have a Centurion Arms C4 Cutout Rail on my Colt. I really like it.

    I'd say you got a great deal. They may not be as slim and light as more modern hardware, but they still get the job done.

    I still run a couple of DD Lite Rail 12.0s. One is on a 6.8 and the other's on a 308. I have no plans to change either of them.

    My photos of them don't show the rails very well.

    I have 3 DD Omega's. Two 7" and one 9" and a DD Lite 9". One of the Omega's is on an upper with a 16" Wilson fluted barrel. It shoots surprisingly well, 1/2-3/4 MOA. The Omega is pretty much a drop in that does free float. The DD Lite is on a BCM BFH 14.5" that shot a 5/8" group (5 rounds, Hornady 75 gr, Nightforce SHV 3-10). I run an Aimpoint Pro on it when not testing for accuracy. I like how they look and they feel good in my hand, but recently have been shooting a 14.5" Colt/BCM LW with a Keymod and Trijicon MRO. It's definitely lighter, but I'm not getting rid of the quad rail guns.

    All I use are quad rails. I see no reason not to use them. I have looked at all of these newer rails and I am not impressed. I have 12 ARs and of them I have one Keymod and one MLok. I will most likely ditch them and put a quad rail on them.
    In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.

    My go-to gun still wears a 12" DD RISII. However, it is in need of a new barrel, and I am cannibalizing it to build two guns. The RIS and some other parts are going on an SPR type build, the rest are going on my next version of go-to fighting carbine, which will have a Wedgelock or Geissele in MLOK. A lighter rail allows me to either have a lighter gun, or a heavier profile (or longer) barrel in the same weight gun.

    Lots of LE agencies still use Picatinny quad rails.

    Yup. If we include duty weapons issued by Military or Law Enforcement organizations, quads are extremely common and still do their jobs well.
