haters hate.. but personally I think the m14.ca proposed rail is ridiculous, it's clamping the barrel at two locations whereas originally it's relatively free to flex under recoil, I wonder if that will affect the inherently good accuracy we are seeing from these rifles
also the rail does not look like it is going to be "affordable" which defeats the purpose of this rifle, not to re-mention the fact that you are bubbaing the rifle for good, even if the next guy wants the rail on there you will be taking a huge hit because no one is going to pay you for your hack job it's sad but I'm sure most will agree that it's true
Also I think the rifle looks very slim and clean which is a plus compared to the Tavor and FS 2000 which in my opinion looks less elegant(not to say that Im implying t97 is better overall) adding the m14.ca rail ruins the clean look. this is just my opinion, each to their own of course.
