    Pictoral showing different lengths of AR15 quad rails

    This picture demonstrates how differing lengths of quad rail handguards look on an AR15 platform rifle with a 14.5" barrel. It might be useful for those who like to window shop and daydream about putting together a rifle of their own but aren't sure how different combinations would look.

    The handguards in this pictoral are all LaRue Tactical.

    I like the 7.0 the best...the 13.2 is overkill.

    I like the 7.0, but because I opted for the low-profile gas block, I was forced to go with the 9.0. It was a tradeoff, but worth it, IMHO.

    Are the longer ones free floated? It seems like the front sight being mounted that far out on a tube could cause accuracy issues. Or is that not a problem?

    Those are all free floated. LaRue's rails are very rigid so I doubt seriously that a front sight mounted on them is any less accurate than one on a front sight block.

    then its perfect.

    actually id prefer a 14.5" quad rail for a 16" rifle(should look approxiamately the same as the 13.2 on a 14.5" rifle) but im not aware of anyone that makes one of those.

    i dont want it for the space/ ability to mount tacticool accessories on it but simply for the look, something to cover up the barrel


    THANKS! for the pictorial
    It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

    I like the 9 myself, but I'm a mid length kinda guy.
