Hey guys who makes John's handrails? Does he manufacture those himself? I really like the way they look, and I am not talking about the VLTOR Monolithic rails he uses, my guess it would be the standard rails.

I would just add that compared to the Ultimak rail on my M1 Carbine, the SWS rail on my Low-Pro upper feels fairly smooth and doesn't have "teeth" that grab my bare hand.
I had a YHM LW which also had teeth, and IIRC Ayoob called the SOCOM II rail the "cheese grater." So now I know: all rails don't feel the same!
The SOCOM II rail was a nightmare. I couldn't swap it out fast enough.
Anyone know if the sling swivel limits rotation now? It used to not.
rob_s,
The one I got on my N4 Light Low Profile in February does not have rotation limiters. Overall I'm pleased with the quality of the forend, but this was a disappointment to me. I specifically chose this configuration over the Vltor VIS because of the integral swivel receptacles, but knowing what I know now, I might have chosen a different configuration.

It's just a minor nuisance to have to straighten out the sling when gearing up. I may just attach a MI or DD unit to the rail forward of the receptacle, which is what I have done on my pre-swivel LaRue tube on my Colt and what I would have done on a non-receptacle unit like the VIS.
This is a nitnoid observation in my book and should not in any way be misconstrued as a slam toward Noveske or SWS. I just wanted other folks to know of my experience, so that they might make informed decisions.
