    comparison chart of FF rails

    My opinion of the more common rail systems
    I would choose the DD Omega if I was not allowed to, or was unable to, remove the stock parts required for installation of the other rails.
    I would choose the DD M4 rail if weight, simplicity, width, and internal diameter were critical for me.
    I would choose the DD Lite rail if weight and a continuous top rail were critical for me.
    I would choose the LT rail if price, overall height and an integral sling swivel were critical for me.

    Sounds like a lot of work to replace something that seems to be working.
    I skimmed the thread way too fast.

    What about the KAC RAS they look like pretty stout units, expensive as hell but have heard they are pretty good.

    really good deals can be had on the RAS kits.. under $200 for the complete kit, often enough.

    i would NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER pay full price for anything KAC, especially not a RAS. but the "blems" are really good kit.

    YHM is slightly larger (this allowed me to recess mount a suppressor inside the tube)
    They are slightly heavier than some. They are a bitch to get mounted and not look like a monkey worked on your gun. This is especially true when you have to change things up.

    I think there are two reasons YHM rails get a bad rap.
    1. People want to justify spending twice as much on their rail system by bad mouthing YHM cheap rail.
    2. People don't mount the YHM rail properly and then it becomes loose.
    One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.

    I am only considering a change right now. And even if I decide to do so, I will have to wait for funds to become available. For the time being, the YHM rail is it, even if some folks don't think it is the best choice I could make.
