What is with the influx of ****ing retards again? If someone is taking out ads for the forum in SWAT or something, a little heads up before the issue comes out would be nice:D
I musta seen John Carpenter's Escape from New York a dozen times and never noticed the lack of hand guards on those rifles. Makes me feel unobservant.
Never mind. I think I misunderstood. At least I hope I did.
I heard a similar story from someone I know last week about free-float rails being easy to break. Glad I found this thread to shed some light on the topic.
Get the forearm you want, freefloat or not, as with a little imagination, a QD cup can be mounted to any of them without much trouble. I installed one in my PRI

HeavyDuty mounted one on a MOE using a cup from Mount-N-Slot

Next time you see your friend, hand him an AR and tell him to show you how easy it is to break the freefloat tube over his knee. Even if he does manage it, it'd be worth it to see him limping around for the next few weeks
A non FF gun will have slightly less POI shift with a suppressor than one with a FF rail.
Found that out myself this weekend.
Friend of mine had a Colt 6720 cut down to 10.3'', by ADCO, and left his M4 handguards on it. Has about a half inch less POI shift than my 11.1'' gun does.
He's using an NT4 as well, but there are too many variables to be sure it was the FF guards. I'm just saying that markm may very well have been right.
Other than that... FF is the way to go. IMHO.
