    Have the Troy / VTAC rails you used moved after installation?

    And did they engage in inappropriate touching of other rails in your gun safe?

But, I think the trend is about to sway back towards simplicity as more shooters start to attend classes and see that a 15lb rifle is more than a handful. The onset of the MOE HG has helped alot of people build a more simplistic AR15 as well.
    I agree, very well put

    Mine was snuggled up next to a Pink Red Rider and a Pink Savage .22lr. My safe does not have any supports short enough for my ARs or my kids little guns.

    If I ever get my recce done my next rifle is going to be a lightweight middy with one of these new Troy/Vtac type rails. I have a feeling we are going to see more of these type rails from different manufacturers in the future.

    I am currently using an Apex rifle length (12.5") free float tube handguard on my 16" recce type rifle and like it a lot. It weighs a few ounces more than the TRX extreme and the VTAC rails but I like the attachment method of this rail more because it uses the factory barrel nut and it also has a very rigid feel to it. The only other tube handguard that feels better to me is the one on the LWRC REPR .LWRC will be making a 5.56 SPR 12"version of the REPR handguard available in the near future and I plan on getting one for my little friend.

    I'd like to see KAC make the rail from the MD carbine as a standard production item.
    We miss you, AC.

    My Take... I just installed a 9" VTAC extreme rail on my 16" Middy. I have been debating what to do with the Middy. I had a MI -18 2piece rail on it originally and it worked well, but was heavy.

    Then the MOE Middy rail came out and I looked at that, but then decided on the VTAC as I like the look, the top rail and the weight. I went with the 9" as I do not use the MagPul style shooting stance and I like a FSB.

    So far I am very happy with my choice. Time on the range will tell..
