#RIFLE LENGTH QUAD RAIL HANDGUARDS HOW TO#

The STNGR VYPR is the handguard that recently bumped Aero off my Best Bang-For-The-Buck handguard list. To get a better grasp on the best length for you, check out our guide to choosing the proper handguard length. I personally like ~12″ handguards with 16″ barrels since I use the c-clamp grip.

Plus, you can choose any handguard length if you have the right low-profile gas-block for it to go over. Your best bet if you are building your own AR-15 upper.įree-floating handguards give you an accuracy advantage since it doesn’t contact the barrel…so your hand position and extra gadgets such as bipods don’t affect barrel harmonics. BCM-15-MLOK-Rail Best Free-Floating Handguards It used to be personal preference but recently USSOCOM (US Special Operations Command) released their results of testing.Īnd M-LOK is the clear winner due to much better impact test results.

For scopes I would probably go with Sig Sauer tango selection not the military the ones,cause those are like two grand, go with the tango4 selection,(tactical) Second scope Company I would probably go with Vortex they’ve got hundreds of options in scopes and reticles, I wouldn’t suggest any one in particular you’ll have to find what’s best for you and what you’ll be doing with it but they’re all good and have lifetime warranties, as for the sights I would go with Magpul MBUS pop-up ones, they’re not very expensive but they’re really durable, but if I might add a suggestion if you’re planning on using this for defense and not plinking I would probably go with a red dot instead of a scope, especially since you’re new to this, a LPVO (Low power variable optic) or scope takes a little bit more “now how” to use than the red dot, and I don’t think you wanna be learning how to use an LPVO in a defense situation, and the battery run dead quicker most of the time, now if you’re just plinking it doesn’t matter you can get a scope or red dot and it doesn’t matter, for the red dot selection I would get a shake awake red dot, they sleep while they’re still and they turn on immediately when you move it and you can leave it on all the time and never turn it off, it’s always there when you need it, and the batteries last years, I would go with a Sig Sauer Romeo5 I’ve personally had those and they are good they have a shake awake feature you can change the brightness with push buttons, they are waterproof shockproof and fog proof also and they only cost between $100 and $120 and the batteries last 3 to 5 years And they can last 10 if you use the shake awake feature, or if you wanna upgrade you can go with a sigsauer Romeo4s like the British SAS uses and there around $300 to $400 and they have multiple red dot reticle options, another personal favorite of mine is the EOTech holographic sight they run around $500 to $700 they have a wide field of View but they have a shorter battery life of around 500 to 600 hours and no shake awake They have a great reticle though, US military uses them extensively, and there are hundreds of great options for red dots out there if not thousands I just listed a few, here are some other companies you can look at, ,, ,, ,, ,, there are more but that’s what I can think of at the moment, I don’t know if I helped you at all I hope I did a little bit, and another thing if you want more magnification on your red dots and the ease of use get a Magnifier they flip to the side when not in use and get a QD (quick detach) mount so you can take it off and put it right back on when you want, I hope you get sorted out.One of the first decisions you’ll make is which attachment system…M-LOK or KeyMod.
