Here are the YHM rails:

The complete rifle is my Cardinal Armory 6.8SPC upper with the YHM Lightweight free float quad rails. The separate upper is my RRA 5.56 upper with the 2-piece YHM lightweight quad rails. Both are rock solid. Oddly enough, the 2-piece is more expensive than their FF rails, so go with the FF rails. MI rails are also good from what I've heard.

I don't use rails, so I get by fine with the DPMS $30 free-float tube for my Bushy Shorty.

YHM Lightweight all the way. This is the rifle length on a 16 inch barrel.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for your suggestions. After looking at all your links and suggestions I ended up going with a Midwest Industries item. I believe it was longtalltechsan who pointed me in the direction of this: MidwayUSA - Midwest Industries Handguard 4-Rail AR-15 Carbine Length Aluminum Black

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

Do I get a prize? Good choice kev. I love mine.

Here's what they look like on mine:

Actually, it will look a tad bit different b/c mine are free float.
