Best deal on a quad rail anywhere. SMOS

Recommended Posts

I'm more curious about the balance of that rifle with that heavy rail and super lightweight stock.....

 

Sap gloves.... :D

 

As to thin rails with covers - my ALG tube with MLOK covers is still slimmer than any of my quad rails without covers. The slim tubes also let me get my thumb up on the top of the tube without rolling my elbow and wrist to get the fatiguing Costa elbow twist.

Just to put it in perspective.  The rail is 10.5oz and the stock is 9.2oz  It is a little heavier in the nose but the purchase is nice in the off hand. Balances about 5" in front of the receiver.

For ME and my use long free float handguards are a must.

 

First, my arms are "medium gorilla" and with 15" hanguards i tend to index my left hand index finger along the handguard touching the just past the end. When shooting off hand and at speed I want my left hand as close to the muzzle as possible for maximum control. Anyone who still holds their rifle by the magwell or close on, needs to take brook stick, hold it by one with both hands and turn off a light switch with the end. Then place one hand half way down and do it again. Plus, hand closer to the muzzle also means more recoil control.

 

Second, 3gun matches nowdays like to put you in a sorts of silly positions to shoot from, including offering you only some bits of chain, boat trailer hitches, rough tree trunks or angled roofs as support while you are trying to make 300-400 yards shots while out of breath and on the clock. I want EVERY bit of handguard I can get so can rest the gun on whatever is available. I have no guarantee that whatever rest is available is going to be just in the sweet spot for my handguard to rest on.

Oh, OK. That's not bad - With a loaded mag your center of gravity will hardly change at all. You can still drive that gun like a boss.

Always great deals there just wished their website was better designed. So hard to navigate.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
