Change my mind.
Quad rail carbine-length fsb is peak AR aesthetic
Mason Phillips
Jordan Richardson
It’s more aesthetic with a 14.5 though.
But I too enjoy the 2000’s nostalgia.
Hudson Flores
i mean , i dont hate it. the only aesthetic i really dislike are keymod rails. wtf were they thinking?
Dylan Collins
I fell for that trap for a while, definitely gives me the feels but there's wasted rail space that only adds unnecessary weight.
David Parker
would have at least respected your opinion if you hadn't picked the worst example in existence.

I can see why folks like full length free floats but I’ve just never needed them.
Eli Lopez
Nah, you right. Even though it still constitutes 95% of all AR rifles in service internationally, its obsolete in the face of no sight free floated concealed gas block and therefore joins the pantheon of old legacy shit we romanticize, alongside M16A1s, heat shield M203s and and the various patterns of Colt Commando.

Austin Jenkins
Agreed.

I say we’ve reached a plateu with firearm technology. A mid 2000s carbine does everything as good as modern carbines save for weight. Which doesn’t really matter if we aren’t lugging rifles around.
Josiah Jenkins
Eh, a free float will be more accurate for precision shooting. But it probably won't make a difference for non-benchrest competition or for combat.

yeah its based. im getting mine in 3 weeks.

Free float handguards have been around since the 90s, free float quads were certainly popular in the mid 2000’s, so i’d lump it in with them.
Elijah Anderson
>what is 14.5 pinned/welded
Kayden Lee
An NFA workaround.
Easton Davis
Isnt a front sight base better because a front sight on the handguard can lose zero easier?
Bentley Scott
In theory, but in practice its a moot point. Your hand guard should be solid enough to be unaffected, so anything that would shift your poi by putting pressure on the hand guard would have bent the barrel anyway.
Camden White
A government profile barrel is where all the unnecessary weight is, but the rail in your picture is hollowed out to eliminate that very issue (perceived)
Jace Sanders
Did you have to choose the most poverty stricken example?
Jeremiah Baker
I have one. It's quite lovely
