dowork1021 64 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 I have been slowely but surely working on my 223 project and ive come to a fork in the road. I really want the CSS aluminum tri-rail but the price is killing me. So ive been looking at some low-profile, lightweight alternatives. The UTG appears way too bulky and the top rail is not needed. Tapco is just out of the question. So ive been giving the SGM tri-rail some consideration. I love the price (around $60) but the fact that it doesnt have a full length rail on the bottom is giving me second thoughts. I want to mount a magpul AFG on it to the most rearward position on the handgaurd. So ive looked at some bolt on rails and there are a million different brands of them at all kinds of prices. So basically I just want some opinions on the previously stated handgaurds or maybe some suggestions on some I may of never heard of. Also any suggestions on some decently price bolt-on rails would be appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MAAnew 162 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 If weight is an issue and you are wanting rails that go all the way to the back without being bulky, have you looked at the Midwest Industries Saiga quad rail? They are the lightest quad rail that we sell for the rifle and the rails go all the way back on the bottom. http://www.mississippiautoarms.com/aluminum-quad-rail-saiga-223-545x39-762x39-us-made-p-1762.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dowork1021 64 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 That is actually a pretty badass rail. I didnt realize they made one for the saiga. BUT, its still around $130. If I had that money I would go with CSS's tri-rail. Give me a discount and we have a deal haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
