Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Rails?

I'm a fan of the Troy Alpha rail (the cheese grater version), but mostly because I've already got QD attachments and stuff for them and standardization makes things simpler. If I'd've started out with another version I could've been just as happy with something else, I'm sure.

I've shaved down a few front sight posts to fit under Troy rails. I took one off and did it on a bench grinder and did the other in place with a dremel. The bench grinder was a much easier, cleaner job.

This was the dremel job. It's rough looking, but is also covered with a rail so it's good enough for me.
