Please join me on as I walk through a complete AR-15 adventure starting with a from-scratch AR-15 build. In this video, we’ll walk through the process of installing a free-float hand guard. The handguard we’re using here is a Midwest Industries 12″ free float quad rail unit. In the next video, we’ll assemble the bolt carrier group, and check headspace.

what is the length or size of the barrel and the handguard that you install ?
AR's are fun because they're always unfinished business. I dont think you ever say that's it no more mods.
Excellent.
Question wouldn't you want to check the headspace with the barrel before you lock tight and secure it into the upper
Thanks for your video just got done doing my free flow on my ar
That's a lot of locktite. But cool video
nice video man, I've been looking to buy one of those 12inch T-series Quad Rails but I can't find it anywhere, any suggestions on where I could find one? thanks
But but…. No placing a level on the handguard to ENSURE its level with the top rail of the upper? Ack!
I hate when im within a 32n'th of an inch
The ar-15 its like a honda civic, so many accessories i love it.
Thank you for this. My handguard started to come loose and couldn't find documentation on it anywhere.
Which spanner did you say you used?
What about the front of the rail ??? Doesn't it need hardware as well ???
I like the look of that barrel. Where can i purchase it?
This is exactly what I am doing to my Mid- length and you have answered ALL the questions I had; including which way the washer for the flash hider goes back on =0)
Thanks so much! Best video I have seen and all I needed was parts 2 and 3–PERFECT!
thanks for the help!
Where did you get the spanner wrench. Uv been to Home Depot, lowes and walmart. Can't find one.
Anti Rotation screw lol
IT IS CALLED A SET SCREW!!!
Its called a set screw. Not anti rotation screw and don't put lock tight on any thing but the set screw.
Geissele MK2. Challengers welcome. 😉
OP, I have a similar assembly on mine, but I bought it fully assembled. Is the lock-tite something to expect on most complete uppers like this? The mnfctr locked down the rail assembly with a slight counter clockwise deviation (if you're looking downrange). It's not terribly off, but enough that I notice my MBUS front sight is off when sighting in. Would this be repairable by me? Can I overcome the lock tite if it is indeed on there? Thanks.
2:20-2:50 what the fuck are you even saying
Not a fan of free floaters, cool vid though.
Troy Industries.
I think these vids are well done… nice job…..
I just put this same rail on my buddies AR and I noticed everything is coated in oil… I'm assuming any and all threads that come in contact with the supplied blue locktite should have the oil removed before the install process begins?
I just wiped the threads down with a dry rag before installing. I haven't seen this mentioned in the instructions or any video on youtube.
I'm looking for that spanner wrench you used in the video as well. I know YHM has their own wrench but it's 30$ 🙁
The purpose of a free floated handgaurd is acuracy, not looks. If you want the monolithic look, buy a monolithic upper.
that locktite will probably become completely impotent after the barrel heats up the first time. it didn't look like the high temp permanent shit……
anyone recommend a affordable quad rail that fits flush on the top with the top of my reciever?
exactly the video I needed…Thanks Gavin
Gavin says it's a Midwest rail. 10" I think.
can anybody tell me which rail that is?
it takes a while to make high quality videos like gavin has done.
I have been thinking of getting a MI free float rail for my next rifle. I hear that some quad rails are thicker than others and may be bigger than I am used to. Are the rail widths similar to the Knights Armament or are they wider?
Great videos! Could you tell me what kind of spaner wrench you used?
Awesome videos Mr. Gavin
