The 4 Rail System

Midwest ForearmThe traditional setup for an AR usually means only mounting optics on the top, like an A3 AR and nothing on the sides. I know there are some variations that still can use a flashlight, but they are not as common. I was at the range putting my new setup to the test and after about 50rds of shooting, that cold hard, somewhat sharp 4 rail setup started to feel rough on my hands. I’ve decided to pick up some Tango Down rail panels to help protect my hands and the rails until I settle on which kind of M4 Carbine setup I’m going to go with. Still shopping for the right flashlight.

Well, I found out the hard way or should I say the sore way. I picked a Midwest forearm 4 rail handguard a few years ago and loved the thing. I didn’t have the need to use all of the rails right off the bat, but I figured I’d atleast put a flashlight on it at some point. Well, I’m not much of the tactical accessory type, but I figured I’d go tactical with the 4 rail forearm. Most of my ARs have the standard forearms and I’m use to holding the rifle in the traditional manner.
