    I put a DD Omega on a Noveske Light Reece Basic and it made no noticeable difference in the accuracy of that particular rifle. Sample of one.

    If you think your rifle is capable of better accuracy I suggest you go with a unit that requires the full change - including the barrel nut. (DD Light Rail, Troy/VTAC TRX, etc.) Remounting the barrel might (or might not) make a significant difference.

    If my soon to be started DD build with a Troy TRX out-shoots my Light Basic + Omega, I'll eventually go that route with the Noveske. But that's just me - I enjoy these types of projects. (Plus I have the tools as well as the time).

    I consider 100 yards to be too close to see any diference i accuracy from a FF. To be honest with you I have never done any true testing to confirm this, but I gurantee you I shoot just the same at 100 yards with a ff than when I had the stock hand guards. The only difference is I like how solid a ff feels, and if I ever wanted to move my sights forward or throw a laser on it I could do so.

    FF

    The only advantage I ever got from free float is for optics, but the screw clamp on a non FF works ok too, if you already have the FF rail try'em both and see which works best for you, many people like each for their own reasons.
