    Quadrail Replacement for S&W M&P 15

    You do not need to remove the front sight. The installation is pretty easy. Rail covers are a great add on for a few bucks more. Lots of people have been asking where I got the rail covers since they add comfort to your grip. Amazon.com : Pack of 4 Rail Ladder Cover Fire Resistent Black 7"...

    Sport II Back Order?

    I bought 2 Sport II's about 6 weeks ago when they were in stock. I anticipated a rush to buy them after the San Bernandino attacks. I'm stocking up on my reloading powder while it's readily available.

    Quadrail Replacement for S&W M&P 15

    No, I don't plan on mounting a foregrip unless I enter a combat situation or go Rambo. My wife wants a foregrip for her M&P15. I think they're OK for women. It's a personal choice.

    Quadrail Replacement for S&W M&P 15

    Actually, the rail covers are designed for comfort. I'm not a commando, so I don't wear commando gloves. Power strip safety plugs are designed to prevent shock/electrocution. I'm smart enough to not stick screwdrivers in power strip receptacles, so I don't use the safety plugs.
