M16A4 Free Float ?'s

[mykdee]

So I have a FN & a Aero M16A4, the FN has a KAC RAS M5 rail on it and I was about to put another one on my Aero but I thought about using a free float rail instead. Just wanted some pics of some A4's with free float rails, I want to keep the FSB so pics with front sight only please. Also feedback on accuracy with free float vs KAC RAS M5.
Thanks
Mike

While I dont have an M16 I have a Colt with the fixed front sight. I am using a Troy Charlie free float rail that uses the deta ring and goes around the A2 sight.
It's a bit on the heavy side but works well , when I was looking to swap out the rail I found 3 choices.
Troy Charlie
Daniels Defense (too expensive)
Midwest (out of stock at the time)

The BCM QRF rail (The picatinny one) can also be used. Mr. Guns n Gear has a video on the install.

Anyone have pics of a free float rail installed on a A4? I searched and can not find any pics.

This one has an A.R.M.S.® #59™M S.I.R.® System (NSN 1005-01-574-2540). This is the military version as compared to the commercial version Stickman is showing. It does require the removal of the Delta ring assembly, but still utilizes the standard barrel nut.

It’s a f*ckin’ turkey shoot!

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for.

That is one bada*% rifle, but that rail probably costs more than my whole rifle! More than I can spend. But, thanks for the pic.

I dont have a picture but a local shop has a Colt A4 with a Midwest industry’s LW rail on it and a MagPul fixed stock. It’s a pretty sweet looking setup and it’s making me question my own A4 build.
