This could go in the reviews section, but noone reads that section, so I posted it here.

I bought a UTG quad rail forend from combathunting.com for $55 and it was TOTALLY worth every penny and much more. That's the cheapest I've found for rails, and it cae with 12 rail guards as well which are nice being split up to work around your mounted accessories. I'll get pics up as soon as possible, but the upper currently isn't mounted since I screwed up the lower (see WECSOG thread). Right now I've got a VFG, a Streamlight, and a red laser mounted, and when the $$ comes, I'll put a slant mount up front and mount the ATN reflex up front and a 4 power Leupold in the rear to go really tacticool.

UTG stuff can be hit or miss from what I hear, but these rails are totally worth the money, and so is their LMT clone rear sight. I'll have to switch to a flip up rear sight once I get the scope, but the cowitnessed setup of the rear sight and ATN reflex is awesome for now.

got some pics up. she works really well, though i would say calling it "free-floating" is a stretch since it just clamps onto the handguard ring at the front and delta ring in the rear. Its stout though, and I have no qualms about mounting optics on it.

Looks good to me. I've heard UTG is good quality for the most part, but they do have the occasional bastard. I've got a few of their products, and no problems. Mostly single rails and scopes for various rifles, but if the quad rail is as good as the pieces I have, then it should be good to go.
