Does anybody even still use carbine length rails anymore?
It seems that recently the trend of stylizing AR's is to use a very long handgaurd on mostly midlength gas sytem uppers using either the Magpul AFG or no hand grip at all. On top of that, most of the time they are topped with Aimpoint T-1's.
This makes me kind of feel left out, since I use a 7in carbine length Troy rail with the ol' VFG and a Aimpoint C3... Is anybody still using this platform and is still usefull? I think I read the trend to longer handrails is to help have better control over the recoil of the rifle, along with the extended grip of the hand on the rail close to the muzzle.
