    another question, some of these tubes don't have rails, but sections that can be attatched where desired. that sounds optimal to me but im curious how they attatch? do you have to take the rail off the gun to install the sections?

My Palmetto state upper will be the red dot one since it's probably of lesser quality, I wont notice the accuracy being less at a closer range while the BCM is for further ranges. Also the palmetto upper I've been using with a .22 conversion kit just because neighbors complain about the sound more with .223. I do know I want a longer rail because my brothers PSA has a carbine rail on it and its too short for me to shoot comfortable while mines a middy and i like it much better.
    Well now, it would have been useful to explain all this from the start and saved all of us some time. Yes, it's a good idea go use a free float tube on a precision AR. Might want to tell your brother to start his own account too avoid confusion

    sorry didnt know it was important. its not exactly "precision" just a little more than my psa with a red dot. yeah we got it as a joint account because last year we were in the same boat in looking for an AR so it seemed easier to use the same account since we had the same problem. Thanks for the help though guys, I think I have it narrowed to these two uppers. any imput on the different rails is welcomed

    Either one should do. Both rails are mid range systems on the same level. It's going to come down to personal preferences at this point.

    First, I'd invest in a good trigger over a FF rail. Once I had a good trigger, match ammo, good glass, then I'd move to the FF rail. Good triggers and ammo will shrink groups faster than a FF at 100 yds. Probably true for most shooters.

    Speaking of good triggers. The ALG QMS is hard to beat for the price. Hell, you'd have a hard time beating it at twice the price.

    I have the vtac but have also handled the MI. The MI uses a proprietary barrel nut, and both feel pretty similar in the hand. They're both great.

    alright well I've decided to get the troy because it doesn't have the proprietary parts. so my final question is this, is BCM a good company to buy from directly or should I find another dealer to buy it from? If BCM is good to deal with and actually means it when it says in stock il stick to them but I know thats not always the case with some companies. I also hear BCM sends some goodies so thats always a plus

    It is a good company to buy from. You'll get some stickers maybe even a few DVDs and a hat. If it says in stock it's in stock. Prices will be the same as you find from a dealer generally.
