Tgraves3 Posted December 12, 2021 Report Posted December 12, 2021 Hello everyone, My name is Tyler, I’m in northwestern Montana. I’m somewhat new to the large frame AR’s. I’m almost finished up with my first build. The only thing hanging me up is a handguard. Why is it that quad rails for large frames cease to exist? I mean, I have been scouring the web for weeks and have come across maybe half a dozen quad rails. Unfortunately, none of them were the correct length, rail height, or platform. It seems everything is either MLOK or keymod now… So I guess my question for you folks with some experience in this area would be - where TF are all the quad rails? 😆 Happy to be here!
Cunuckgaucho Posted December 12, 2021 Report Posted December 12, 2021 Welcome from BC. Sorry got no answer on where to find quad rails

I just found it on the AR parts finder site. https://ar15discounts.com/products/hera-arms-ar-10-308-irs-quad-rail-handguard/?avad=134063_c257dfe31 http://www.arpartsfinder.com/instock/index.cgi?type=rail&quant=25&s=ar-10&min=&max=&sortby=price-desc

I buy stuff from them all the time. Hera makes stocks etc. Belt Fed has a bunch of their stuff on his guns or at least the ones he had before the boating accident.

I need one that matches up with a high profile. It is still an option though.
Tgraves3 Posted December 17, 2021 Author Report Posted December 17, 2021 In case anyone is looking - Samson Manufacturing is still producing AR308 quad rails. $255 each. For both DPMS (high profile) and Armalite. They have carbine, mid, and rifle length rails. Two piece, free-float design. Can be used without removing the front sight post as well. They seem pretty legit. I called them a couple days ago and they said they won’t be shipping any out until roughly the end of January. After mine comes in, I’ll share my thoughts on it. Happy holidays to you all. Link: https://www.samson-mfg.com/star-10.html
