M4 Rail options
I have a DD XV on the way.
I'd like LIGHT and ergonomic.
I think the thin and round rail system by Troy is very cool, but i guess that it is a tad tough to mount stuff. I will not mount a BUNCh of stuff on it. MAYBE a light. MAYBE a laser. I do like the option of a continuous rail for more flexibility in mounting Optics.
But... I'm also looking at a DD EZ rail - they are reasonable and easy for the avg person to install, but offer a continuous profile.
How is the Troy equivalent? - about the same price.
And... how are these compared to having a Magpul setup. Magpul is ergonomic as heck.
But, in general here are some questions:
1. What are advantages and disadvantages to free float?
2. How do the above handle heat?
3. How do they compare on weight?
Anyone CHANGE from the above for good reason - experience?
Thanks.

With a free float you can have a flip up front sight (obviously, haha) that will hold zero.
There is nothing touching the barrel so the gun in theory will be more accurate.
A Magpul MOE forearm is very light and comfortable but is really not comparable to a railed forearm as far as sights and such go.
I liked my MOE forearm when i had it.
