Part numbers are for a long & short m4 and the same for an H&K 416

 

Hodge Defense has the best "feeling" rails I have ever messed with. MEGA sells them under their brand, as well, as they were a collaborative effort. The Hodge rails are just relieved on the front for suppressor mounting.

That Remington rail looks like a cheap version of Geissele.

 

The only reason I was hoping they turned out ok is that maybe being from a huge mfg then the price might be really low. Which will in turn allow me to buy a dozen of them or so and have them for my prepping stocks. But meh. If they are not good then I won't bother.

 

If you are wanting something to throw on your prep/handout AR's I would second the Midwest Industries rails. For the price you can't really go wrong. I don't have a gen 3 but have 4 of the gen 2's. 2 Gen 2 SS-Series and 2 Gen 2 T-Series. They have served me well. While they are probably not as solid as a Geissele or DD they are also 1-200 bucks cheaper. I actually bought my first one due to the cost and was pleasantly surprised with how nice it is. Obviously, I got 3 more.

MI is also good people, always helpful whenever I contacted them. That to me is worth something in this day and age.

 

Thanks. I will definitely check em out.

With the amount I would need, if I could some how save 100-200 bucks, then at the end of the day I would save a bunch of money overall. That's a bunch of money I can spend in more preps like ammo, another force multiplier like red dots/scopes, or another night vision device. I'm not going to go with something that isn't quality though. The whole point to these rifles is for them to perform when/if we need em. But I'm sure there is a happy medium somewhere. Just got to find it.

Another way I might save money is by buying the second hand. As long as they are in good shape I don't mind if they are used. Ebay my work out. Especially if what I pick is a common rail. After all, I'm in no hurry. So if I pick up a couple here and a couple there eventually I would get it done. After all the rifles are still usable and fine the way they are now. Just a thought.

Anyways. Thanks again.

 

i ilke the new midwest industry FF rails, put one on my recent 308 AR upper... surprisingly solid, very slim, matches the Aero upper rail nicely, very good heat dissipation....

 

Got any pics?

Glad it worked out for you.
