so I was screwing my quad rail back on today and on the last screw, i guess i screwed it too tight and heard a "pop", and i said, DAMMIT! Now the screw wont tighten and my quad rail is a bit loose.. Am I screwed? do I have to buy a new quad rail?

Next time you screw it in, it's a non free float I am guessing, use a small about of locktite on the screws and avoid overtorquing. The locktite will prevent the screws from backing out, ergo you won't need to screw it in so far. As for fixing the screw itself now? I'd try what the other guy said about using a nut to tighten the bolt it space permits.

Daniel Defense is top notch stuff, that's whom I would go with. Not that midwest Industries is bad, but DD is great stuff.

Unless having the FF rail is better if you have railed sights or something. For a carbine a non free floated rail is fine.
well i do have front and rear magpul BUIS on my rifle as my primary sights at the moment.. I think ill go with the daniel defense though, as its less hassle to install

He said the rail cost $40 bucks....a heli coil kit with tap and drill costs more than the rail.
Umm what? Their ss rails are some of the lightest on the market.....
