    WOW!!!

    That is what I get for posing right after running 6 miles.......blood had not returned to my brain yet.

    Never mind....

    The rest of it is good, I just reread it.
    In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.

    Larue/DD = Levi's

    YHM = Walmart brand jeans

    Both do the same thing but one is just nicer.

    I have a 9.0 DD Lite rail and it is awesome. It is probably overkill though because my rifle is a total range queen and is never subjected to serious use or harsh conditions. A friend has a carbine YHM rail, and a midlength version of it would probably be completely adequate for my purposes. His feels nice and tight and fit his rifle just fine.

    But I do not regret buying the DD rail one bit. It is so light that it feels like it almost isn't there. It has a really nice dark black finish that matches my receiver nicely. Accessories fit perfectly and easily.

    It really comes down to the kind of rifle you are building, and what you value. You should not cut corners anywhere else on the rifle to afford a nice rail system. I think the money would be better spent towards a quality receiver mounted optic personally, if you had to choose.

    If you are going all out and want a top-shelf rifle then the difference in quality is worth the extra money. If you just want to put a VFG and light on your $700 DPMS then YHM is the way to go.

    my first rail is a DD Lite Rail 7.0 yes I would agree the build quality is great. I chose it because of the great reviews. I really began appreciating it when some of my friends chose the other brands like YHM and MI. it really has big difference. aesthetically and size. as for the Larue. I've only seen it once. although heavier than the DD it was very sturdy and I would gladly buy one next time... maybe for an SPR project.

    I had the YHM and replaced it with the LaRue! It sits closer to the barrel yielding a more compact and lighter gun that points better and besides...the LT is 10x the quality of the YHM!

    Seriously. This is about YHM. It's not about LT.

    I'm ordering a complete YHM rig. 14.5" 5.56mm w/ customizable carbine handguard. I'll let you know how it rates.

    I called LaRue today with a question about their BUS. I had the question answered quickly and thoroughly and spoke with Brian about several other issues and learned a few more things. Awesome customer service/knowledge. That is worth quite a bit to me. Their gear is top notch and its priced accordingly. Check the EE out and look for a used rail. There are some wicked deals out there.

    In most cases, YHM will do the job. LaRue will do it better. Like everything else, the law of diminishing returns comes into play. I have a couple of YHM rails. Not terrible, not the best around, either.

    If brand X gives you capabilities that brand Y does not, and you need those capabilities, then price should be out of the equation. LaRue is lighter, tougher, has QD attachment sockets, and it ****ing says "Live Free or Die."

    FWIW, I'm an VLTOR and SWS man, so I feel kinda-sorta impartial saying this.
