Which drop in rail?

Macoffman · Feb 16, 2016

I am looking for a drop in rail (Carbine) for a new build. Please share your experiences (and photos) of the following. I don't want to spend more than $150.

MFT Tekko M-ARC IRS
Troy drop in
Midwest industries gen 2
Fab defense NFR
KAC M4 RAS (2nd hand)
Damage industries m4 carbine rail
Daniel defense ex car 7.0 (if I could find one anywhere)

In the other recent thread on rails I posted my experience with the Damage Industries carbine rail...There weren't many reviews on the Damage but what I found was positive. It was a drop in fit on a Sport II and it's slimmer than most with a snug fit, good machining and a nice finish. If you're set on a quad rail the Damage is US made, glad I chose it. Damage often runs sales so some patience could pay off. Bought a few of their QD sling swivels too, work well.

I have a KAC RAS on my Sport and love it. Drop in, solid as a rock, great quality and it comes with rail covers too. If you look around, you can find them right around $100-$125. Pic:

Can you link me to that review? I just found out after months of shopping their site that they are a local company to me from the same town.

I really like the KAC rails a lot but the only ones I've found in my price range have been beat up pretty bad.

Not a review, more in the way of a few comments and they're contained in the above post. I like the quality of the Damage products, at least what I received. Bought the rail, an inexpensive stock set and some swivels, other misc. Rail has a built in QD socket on forward left side, if that works for you.
Everything was on sale, think I paid $85 for the rail. Did take a week or so to ship.
