thank you. very good video.
Would this fit a del-Ton Ar15 DTI?
I have the same rail, but mine does not pop in. I checked everything, the sides are correct, it just doesnt want to pop in like that. I have also exactly the same default handguard.
Buying it, thanks for making one that doesn't cost me a days worth of work.
I have one of these on my home defense rifle and it is really a great product for the price. I just needed to mount a flashlight, QD sling mount, and vert grip on my rifle and this thing is perfect for that. I wouldn't suggest it for mounting anything that needs to be sighted in and hold a zero (except for maybe a CQB laser) but I really don't think that is the purpose of this quad-rail.
Very good rail for $20
Just installed the rails on my DPMS AR and it is as simple to install as the video say it is. There is a slight wobble to it but nothing to worry about. Very happy and I have already mounted a vertical foregrip and a bipod. Next up a laser/taclight combo that hasn't arrive yet.
Wear gloves when you're running one of these quad rails. Learned that the hard way in the army. I tripped and ended up with a couple stitches and a black and blue fingernail.
Will this only work if the rifle has the round handguard cap ? Or will it work with a mil-spec A2 triangular handguard cap also ?
Would this fit a DPMS Oracle 5×56 – .223
Using this video as a reference in shopping for a hand guard for my AR which is mid-length, if carbine length is 6.5 inches, how long are the hand guards I should be looking for?
does it matter what side goes on top or bottom?
the dpms oracle is a AR 15 5.56
does this fit on the dpms oracle
bought this rail for same Ar15. Thanks for the tutorial it really helped. I used my hands for the ring no tool needed.
Just ordered my quad rail 2 days ago. So ready for it to get here. More specks for new equipment instead of just one that I got on the bottom. I'm really liking the extra amount holes between the specks that allows heat control!
will it fit on a Windham 7.62×39 spc
that quadrail bought in turners for $40 damn turners rip off. thanks I like the tools u bought to take out the handguards.
FYI – Just went online to https://monstrumtactical.com/ website. The black color drop in is on sale today for $9.95 GDL
I recently purchased one of these quad rails and am having trouble getting it lined up correctly with the other rails on the rifle. My rifle has a railed gas tube and flat top upper receiver and this quad rail attachment has about a 3 degree counter clockwise cant that is driving me absolutely insane. Any tips on how to "level" this hand gaurd in respects to the other rails on the rifle? And yes, I have tried loosening the left hand screws and tightening the right hand screws down further to counteract the can't but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Please help.
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
Yours is the best and professional video on installing a Drop-In Quad Rail Handguard on You Tube. I just received my Quad Rail Handugard so I can use a Vertical Hand Grip so I can use my Bumpfire stock. I kept trying to get the tapered end of the hand guard on the front like the plastic ones I removed. My Xtreme Tactical Sports M4 Carbine hand guard didn't come with any instructions.
As soon as the part of your video that showed in which direction it went it was a breeze.
Thanks!
I wish it was that easy. I'm a filing the inside of 2. I bought just to make them fit. :/
that hand guard has just almost enough area for the hand to grab…will the 2 sides and bottom rails be usable?
Ordered my quad rail on cyber Monday & arrived at my home 2 days later. Really happy with the shipping & the quality of materials used to make it are superb! I've already recommended you guys to a few people. 5 star rating from me !
Do you know if your rails fit on the Ruger AR 556? They have a delta ring but its threaded and moved by twisting it rather than forcing backwards with a tool.
