Troy....but they technically "stole" their free float system from A.R.M.S., Inc.

Are you keeping your gas block sight or planning on putting an iron on the rail?

ARMS is lesser quality stuff & have ended up sueing everybody they can think of due to the products they make being unable to compete with makers like LaRue...But hey, so they sue ya for having the numbers 17 in your product name....

Only reason arms is still going is the military keeps pouring money to the lowest bidder instad of going for quality products....

This

I'd take a good hard look at the DD Omega Rail Daniel Defense, Inc | Specializing in quality machined parts for the AR platform.

then get it from http://www.adxtactical.com/store/pc/home.asp as Chris is a stand up guy and will do ya right. Heck, call and talk to him

I know ARMS sucks....guess I was still in that 'mode' from another site that thinks since Troy was the latest lawsuit victim that they aren't as good at ARMS. My neighbor kid could build a better rail that ARMS, but anyways......DD is very good, too though.

DD, Troy, Larue. If your AR has those brands on it, you're golden.

....but I don't have an AR so I'll never know.
