they tend to be heavy and often pretty far out of spec(possible trouble fitting items you want).

I understand there are 2 models. 1 for Colt's only, and 1 for all others. Are the any other out there the will work without the bottom?

You can run a 37 mm flare launcher or shotgun under the barrel.

I have a Midwest Industries rail on my AR...everything I own bolts on no problem.


The VLTOR CASV-EL is free float, uses the Delta ring and the bottom can be removed for mounting a grenade launcher...

They are a good value, but I prefer LaRue and Daniel Defense.

I have since gone with a Larue but the MI drop-in rails have served me well.
