I can't imagine the self righteous crap coming from those guys that you hear on these boards. Ban me if you like, but don't expect me to roll over and be awed by a bunch of people I've never met just because they have a large number of posts on these boards or are parroting whatever the latest tactical guru has to say. And you're embarrassed for me?!!!
    What a gunsel!

    Have fun playing your name dropping dick swinging game by yourself.

    I purchased a DD Omega 7 rail. I am happy with it. I have never seen the YHM or the Larue. I too have often wondered if the large price difference was in fact worth it.

    I have noticed that there are a lot of "fan boys" when it comes to brands. I am not partial to any one particular brand, but I am a fan of quality. The big question here is if there is a difference in quality or if it is just priced higher for the gullible "fan boys".

    I think the only way to know is to see them side by side.
    The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten....

    well i haven't used any YHM stuff, but I'm gonna. as soon as i decide on a barrel length for my "cheap gun" build i'm gonna order one up........

    .........i'll even do some testing... i'll bang it around some, benchrest it, pull a barrel temp reading, pop it off and put on a DD, bang it around some and benchrest it, and get a barrel temp again. i suspect i'll get the same groups and that it wont break under a moderate beating. we'll see about heat. if someone wants to send me a larue i'll test it too.

    Ok then. It seems MOST of us are in a position to KNOW what the F we are talking about since we HAVE and we have stated we HAVE.

    There are a few running around, saying the only rail that they've owned is a YHM and it's "good enough."

    ALWAYS trust the guy with more experience than the guy who has only experienced ONE of the choices...

    Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball...

    I suppose I am the exception then. [repeating] If it's just for a white light and a VFG, a YHM will work just fine[/repeating]

    If however, you see yourself in the future forward-mounting optics, you may as well spend the money on a higher quality rail.

    Here's my hypothetical situation for you guys. Take your pick. A select fire M4 (Colt BCG and LPK) with YHM rails or a LMT semi auto AR-15 with LaRue rails?

    Answers please!

    This thread makes my head hurt. So far, both sides of the argument here have been extremely weak. What I do hate seeing is the YHM crowd insinuating that they're anything OTHER than the posers they accuse everyone else of being simply because they bought cheap.

    If you don't understand why a Larue rail costs more than a YHM rail, then you'll probably be perfectly happy (for awhile) with a YHM rail.

    Buy what makes you happy, try to make an educated purchase, stay within your budget and don't go into debt over it, and use it until it breaks.

    The YHM crowd needs to realize that there are quite a few members of this forum that HAVE owned and used the YHM products, or who supervise others in using that product, and have had problems with them coming loose, not fitting certain accessories, etc. Just because YOU lack the experience to make an informed decision on your own doesn't mean that someone else here doesn't. If you don't want to believe someone on the internet that's your business.

    The "high end" crowd needs to realize that some people acknowledge that they aren't going to ever push their rifle past whatever happens at the shooting benches at the public range on any given Saturday. Give them your experiences and advice, and then just walk away. Either they will eventually push their gear and have problems, or they won't. Either way why the hell do you care what kind of rail he has on his gun?

    My personal opinion, based on my own experience with YHM products in general (and their customer service, which is a whole 'nother topic) is that I would PERSONALLY stick with the plastic stock handguards rather than buy a YHM product that doesn't suit my needs on any front. This is based on having YHM rails that won't fit certain accessories, buying used accessories from others that have been forever ruined by being relieved to fit YHM rails, seeing firsthand YHM rails come loose on the range, and the aforementioned customer service (or lack thereof).
