Lightest Quadrail for Ar-15?

[Power Pill]

Who makes the lightest drop in quadrail for the AR-15?

I had a UTG quadrail before and I noticed it was pretty heavy and I sold it when I purchased a shorter barrel for my AR.

Drop in or free float?

The lightest one I have ever handled was Made of Carbon fiber,Just mount whatever rails you need,Most come with a variety of rail pieces

JP V-TAC also very light

& if carbon fiber ain't your thang the next lightess 1 in alluminum is made by Daniel Defense Omega 7.0 & it comes with all the rails & trimings

i have 2 daniel defense rails, omega and omega x and they are both very light weight.

I think TRX is slightly lighter for a given length.

The triangle version from PRI is sweet.

For grip

I havn't handled the tri shaped one yet but looks sweet,might end up on my must need list.

If you want to keep your rifle light do you really need a quad rail? Unless you really need the side rails get a rail that can be mounted on the bottom of a regular handguard.

The Daniel Defense OmegaX Rails are about as light as you can get...

I had an omega 7.0 and it was good s**t.

I recently swapped to MI SS series rails. Good trade off in weight/cost/free float.

That is pretty much the list of all rails and weights, etc.

tried that way, not a fan.

That carbon fibre unit is not light at all.

The lightest ones out there will be the DD Omega and Lite Rail.

I have used just about everything on the market.
Troy rails hands down the best going
Light, stiff and you can place the rail anyhwer you want them
very simple to install
