Tony44 1 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Looking for a low cost, but quality, railed handguard for my S-12. Don't really need a quad rail as I'm just looking to attach a vertical grip and maybe a laser/light. Thanks for any input. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ErikTaylor 41 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Tapco makes one (polymer HG with 3 independent polymer rails), and I think they can be had for around $50 new. I think after that you are up into the $100 range for other rail systems! To be honest I would save my pennies a little longer and buy a quality rail system. That's just me though! Good luck and let us know what you go with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAldrich2008 28 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I have a Tapco Intrafuse handguard and I have not had any problems with it. I have a vertical grip on the bottom rail, and I put a flashlight on the side every now and then. I don't want to violate posting rules, but I may or not have a spare... PM me if you're interested.

xxxpez 5 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Check and see if Chaos is still having their sale I got their tri-rail for $80 shipped. If that isn't still going I believe I saw a Chaos quad rail in the wts/wtt section of the forum for around $80. I would definately save up and get one the aluminum rails my Chaos is rock solid. If that's not your cup of tea you can look at the Tapco and I think SGM makes one for around $70. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Last I checked, they are still on sale... http://www.chaosus.com/cgi/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=TRI_RAIL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony44 1 Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Is this a better buy for not much more? http://www.chaosus.com/cgi/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=EXTENDED_QUAD_RAIL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xxxpez 5 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 It's all in what you want to do. Presonally I wanted to tri rail beacause of sights but i'm sure that is just as solid as the tri-rail I bought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tonyhunt 15 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 My only advice is to stay away from UTG rails Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesLi 47 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 The Tapco tri-rail is nice and cheap, and for it's price it's alright, but beware. If you have a larger vertical grip with possibly with a light attachment and anything over a ten round magazine you will not be able to remove the magazine without removing your grip first. In all honesty I would save up a little more for the chaos rails or at the very least the SGM tri-rail forearm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mayor Al 41 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Question on the post from JamesLi- about the compatibility of the Tapco forearm with the ten rd and longer magazines. Is the problem with the vertical grip you attached and/or a lite/laser mounted on the bottom rail? Or is it with the forearm itself, not just with protruding attachments??? Thanks for a quick answer, I hope. My Tapco forearm is on the way. AL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a vertical grip on the bottom of my Tapco handguard and it clears my long mags and drum just fine. I just have to mount it pretty far forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mayor Al 41 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Thanks Joe. I was hoping that I wasn't going to install the arm and then be unable to play Mag-Switch with the gun. BTW Mid-West Outdoors (TV Show) just did a 10 minute segment on the different types of slugs for deer hunting with a shotgun. Very informative. Will be replayed a dozen times over the next couple of weeks on 605 on direct tv Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for a quick answer, I hope. My Tapco forearm is on the way. AL I was referring to a vertical grip, such as my STOPLITE STL-300J which when attached on the bottom rail would not allow for longer mags to detach. Eventually I just modified the forearm and it's no longer an issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
