They have the Expo M5 RAS as well.

Quads for life.

Looks like I am going to be selling a Centurion 9.5 and 13 inch MLOK rail here soon to fund Operation Return To Quads.

I think I have two of those that I've been keeping for a few years, but I did order the standard carbine model. It will be interesting to see how it is once it arrives.

If these are decent, I think KAC and P&S prices are going to tank, either that or just sit on shelves. Cloning is about to kick back off in higher gear!!

I'm gonna be the heretic here and say "Horses for Courses." If you need a robust mount where weight and size are no object, quadrail all the way. If weight, space and minimalism are the priority of the day (like a ASDW or a bugout-bag build) M-Lok has an edge.

The only reason I'm not buying the Expo M5 to complete my M16A4 URG is that I already *have* an M5 brought home by the friend this project is in memory of... I just have to excavate Mt. Deadtree in my storage unit enough to disinter it from its grave under boxes of cookbooks and other stuff.

I paid too much for a few P&S rails because I thought the M4 RAS was going the way of the N4 Colt stock. Now I have two extra carbine Quad rails on the shelf. It's a good problem.

Looking at the non RAS quad rails it does kind of look like the CMT version they had out with the lightening holes in it before their current version. Maybe they are making these too?

Is this about repeated installation/removal, or set it and forget it? I can easily see how 1913 is easier for the former, but I don't see how MLOK is a problem for the latter.

For me its neither. I have just found that from an ergonomic standpoint I like a quad rail better. Just fits my hand and grip better. I'm no operator by any stretch of the imagination so take that for what its worth.

That's interesting. What's your glove size? Have you tried a Magpul M-LOK AFG?
