GSPKurt Posted December 24, 2010 Report Posted December 24, 2010 I have a LR308 (24") inbound. I want to add a foregrip and light but it has a free-float handguard. Would you recommend adding pic rail sections to the existing guard or putting on a quad rail?
survivalshop Posted December 24, 2010 Report Posted December 24, 2010 Adding rails would be less expensive , but may have some challenges with some hand guards.I'm also not sure how a bolted /screwed rail would hold up with a forgrip . Others here will have to attest to that. I do run a bi pod off a bolted/screwed rail & have had no problems with it .You will more than likely have a limited choice of quad railed hand guards with the newer DPMS uppers.
SWshooter Posted December 25, 2010 Report Posted December 25, 2010 If it's the standard DPMS two piece, you would be better off with a new 3 piece unit. The DPMS will get out of alignment if you have to remove it for any reason.
GSPKurt Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Posted January 21, 2011 Sorry for the delay in responding. Its an aluminum free-float hand guard.
SWshooter Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Like I said, if it's the standard DPMS two-piece float tube you will get a lot better service with any three piece unit.
