Got my New 4 rail forearm today!

jashoffa · 01-15-2008, 11:47 AM

Well I ordered it on Saturday, It shipped Monday and arrived todate (Tuesday). I tell you what it sure is nice being in the same state as Brownell's. You may have to pay a little tax on your order but you get it the next day (just about) for standard shipping price. This is a Midwest Industries 2 piece handgaurd non-free float. I also ordered the vertical grip for chead and some covers of which I need to cut for the bottom rail. By the way the AR is a RRA Elite CAR A4.

Very nice rifle. MI makes a great product. You chose well

I was thinking pretty hard about getting the free float MI handguard but ended up going with this for easy of install and slightly cheaper price. I hope I don't regret it but if I ever want to change I am sure I will be able to sell this one. I figured I will be doing most of my shooting 100 yards and less and am really trying to outfit the gun as a tactical rifle (light, red dot sight, etc...). I am impressed with this hand guard. I almost got the surefire one but then I had a deputy at work bring in his midlength with surefire rail and noticed that the muzzel end was made for a round "cap" and his and mine has the triangle style. His is mounted tight but something doesn't look right. I could let from the MI pic that it was more disigned for the triangle cap. It fits perfect and looks much better than his does.

great looking carbine.. what is that raised rail on top of your receiver?

That's a tactical carry handle from RRA. It gives you the rear sight while still offering a rail to mount an optic

That is correct. It is acctually suppose to be for use with an aimpoint reddot sight. I have heard that they aren't very good for mounting an aimpoint but I think I am going to give it a try when I get the money set aside for one.

Mine is great

I see you have the MI ff foearm. at4xj, did you mount it yourself? Was it difficult? Cutting the delta ring off worried me so I went for the non ff one.

Very easy. I love it. It's rock solid.
