fdree float rail system help

[tmckay2]

ok i know this isn't the ideal spot for this but i need an answer in the next two days and people don't tend to answer the other threads. ive had a yhm lightweight rail system, but it felt pretty "chubby" to me and was wondering if anyone experienced out there know diameters of other rail systems or even just knows in general which ones feel thinner. i know it tends to be the more expensive, the thinner, but i thought someone might know. i tried looking it up but couldn't find any solid advice.

mods if this NEEDS to be moved, feel free.

the ones you listed with the smaller diameter are only top rail or selective rail systems though right? im looking at a full rail system. ive heard DD are good in that regard, theyre just so expensive! haha

The DD rail fore-end I have on my .300 Fireball Carbine is about standard height, but is narrower than usual. I do have a knurled free float tube on my 1-8 varmint gun that seems a bit smaller in diameter, but I don't remember what make it is. Of course, it doesn't have rails, or provision for them.

The YHM customizable forearm system is thin and depending on the length can be had for $120.

You get what you pay for, so if the DD or Troy rails are too much, what is your price range? What is it about a full rail system that you are set on? You might get with xwisex and check out the MI FF set he is selling. I'd say they are about average .. bigger than my DD lite rail but not by much


Also what type of rail covers do you use?

I have a Troy MRF rail and like it a lot. I run an AFG, XTM panels on the sides and ladder rail covers on top and can wrap my thumb up top comfortably! And I dont have big hands. I can get you measurements tomorrow if you like?

that would be great. it looks nice and is affordable, so if its the smaller diameter than yhm i might get one
