what do you think?

I like the one on my carbine. I hated the one on my mid-length so much I took it off and sold it. Too heavy.

I had one on a carbine for a while. It's a good alternative if your on a budget, but if you have the dough there are much lighter alternatives out there.

I have one on my first Carbine. It a good rail, not the lightest but not so much heavier than others either. For the money it's a good alternative.

It is a bit thick compared to other rails. Rail ladders work fine with it but rail covers would make it to think, even for my large hands. I run rail ladders on the top and sides and rail covers on the bottom and that works great for me. If you have small hand these may not be for you.

Most of my AR will no longer sport quad rail as to save weight. I can put a light and a VFG on a standard handguards and keep it light weight. Next time I do add a rail I'm going with a DD Omega mid-length on an 18" SPR I hope to build.

I have a FF Midlength rail by MI and I like it. Although it is HEAVY... I needed something with a clearance for the midlength low profile gasblock
