This product arrived to my door, and upon first look, I had no idea if it'd even come close to fitting. To my surprise, it fit perfectly on my Bushmaster Superlight Carbine. It adds a bit of weight but it feels great and allowed me to mount the bipod and foregrip that I really needed. I would highly recommend this.

A note to others: When you tighten the screws, do not tighten one side tighter than the other. Get the screws started in a diagonal pattern and line up the pieces together and then tighten down afterwards. It is not difficult at all, I did it by myself within 5-10 minutes.

Took 10 mins. to install on a DPMS upper. This quad rail fit my .223/5.56 AR15 with no problems. No grinding or filing needed on any parts. Final result is a tight secure fit. For the money these aluminium rails are worth it. So much so that I removed and installed them on my LMT upper. Again, another trouble-free fit. There are many more expensive alternatives costing 10'xs more but they certainly won't fit 10'xs better. Consider these if you wanna have similar performance at a very affordable price. Amazon's great service and pricing w/ free shipping closed the deal for me.

UPDATE - Sept. 2011:
Have since purchased two more UAG sets to install and my other AR carbine builds using DPMS uppers. Continued flawless fit. Let it be noted that I did purchase and try the UTG brand (twice) but had to return one of them. The second order shipped refused to fit (must have had some defect during casting). Once, returned, a full refund (including the cost of return shipping)was issued. Amazon continues to make shopping online more convinient than going to most retail stores.

I don't know what happened to the people who didn't give this five stars, but I couldn't imagine giving it anything but that. Fit onto a bushmaster ORC carbine perfectly. Took about five minutes to install. Rock solid once installed, rails line up perfectly. It fit so well I will not hesitate mounting sights on it, which with some two piece handguards is a bad idea due to movement. Not this one, fits perfectly, and without any movement at all. You can spend a lot more, but for marginal improvement. Included rail covers are a nice touch. Once you factor in price, free shipping, and the tremendous quality you get for such little money, five stars all the way for this item!

Please read all of this review, as there are possible solutions (See pics too). First off, I was so very impressed with this quad rail for the price. I am trying to keep prices as low as possible but still use fairly decent parts during my quest to build-up my budget AR. This rail did the trick. I couldn't stop looking at it after installing the rail because it just makes my AR look so sweeeet. This quad rail fit perfectly.

It installs simply by sliding the rear of the rails (2 pieces) into the rear Delta ('D') ring and then the front end is designed to nicely wrap around the handguard cap at the top. Then just alternate as you tighten the 4 provided screws. It is a very nice fit (see my pics). It Even comes with an allen wrench and 2 extra screws in case you ever lose one.

I had hoped the top rail would be even with my existing flat-top rail so that I could mount a riser that spanned across the 2 different rail systems as if they were one. As you can see in my pics, it does in deed. However, the bolts from my riser did not initially align properly between the two different rail systems without a bit of tweaking. So here's a tip to adjust for that. Loosen the 4 screws to the quad rail so it's a little moveable again. Use that mobility to push down a tad on the spring loaded 'D' ring just enough to mount your riser across the two different picatinny rails. Tighten your riser down. Then re-tighten the 4 screws on the quad rail. As you can see in my picture, the riser now spans nicely across the 'D' ring over 2 different rail systems as if they were one.

UPDATE: Since my post above, I've learned a lesson. I was so impressed by the quality vs. price that I had ordered a second of these quad rails for my Colt M4/16 22LR. But, this time the rail I received was of a completely different quality from that of the first one (See pics). The edges were sloppily machined with various gouges and exposed metal. And the finish was an inconsistent shiny black as opposed to the smooth matte finish of the first rail I ordered.

I also compared workmanship side-by-side and the new rail was about 3-4mm longer than the other and the picatinny notch edges were shaped differently (See pics). All of this indicates inconsistent quality control which means what you receive may vary between orders.

I should point out that the first quality rail was ordered from The Global Sportsman and the second (bad) rail came from The American Outdoorsman. Same product and same price, just different vendors. So I wouldn't think this matters, because they are just points of purchase and do not manufacture this UAG Quad Rail. Never-the-less, after returning the poorly made second rail, to be safe I re-ordered my replacement from the first store that delivered the quality rail (The Global Sportsman). We'll see if the better rail was simply a luck of the draw or a better lot.

With every UAG order, it is accompanied by a piece of paper which explains how they are a small family owned/operated business. They provide a number asking to call in order to make things right if ever there is a problem. I called but it was past their hours of operation. I will try again next week, and ask why there are such major inconsistencies in the quality of their manufacturing process.

Great looking, quality seems good and easy to install. I posted some pics of rail system on my ar15. This rail system is the 6.5" version. Love the covers for the rails, much better to grasp instead of rails. Highly recommend this product.

I have a DPMS and this worked/fit great. There is a posting about a rail not fitting right (with pictures) and I see how that could have been an issue. He must have mounted it wrong because I did the same thing at first. I put the seam on the top and bottom which put the gas rod in the way of one of the screws. If you turn it 45 degrees and put the seam on the sides, it fits perfectly. The only reason why I am even referencing another post is because that was a big factor when I bought this. The deciding factor was a different post on here where someone referenced having a DPMS in which it fit.

Overall, this is a fully functional rail system that fits and looks great.

This handguard fit perfectly on my ArmaLite AR-15 and only took about 5 minutes to install (It helps if you have someone else help hold the gun while you remove/install). The 2 people who gave this item a 3-star review actually installed theirs wrong (90° off), so don't listen to those (that includes the pictures they posted showing screws that wouldn't fit and a rail that was off-center). The rail with the gap down the center should be on top. The covers that come with it are very comfortable and go on and off very easily. I also like that they are in smaller pieces instead of one long piece so you can add them to partial rails when you mount accessories. So far, it has been used for 300+ rounds with multiple users and is still rock-solid. A great value for this price!

Top notch for sure... Does the job and fit perfect on my S&W M&P 15 sport, with a light, laser, and vertical grip. Would buy many more!

I received my Quad Weaver Rail Handguard today. It fits my Smith & Wesson M&P 15 Sport perfectly! I installed it in about 5 minutes. The covers look good on the rails also. They make for a comfortable grip when rails aren't in use! I highly recommend this product to anyone with a S&W M&P 15 Sport or any carbine length AR-15. It is approximately 6 inches in length. You will have to remove your current handguard. There are instructions in the gun's user manual on how to take the handguard off. It said that it was a 2 man job, but I did it by myself. My .223 looks great now. I can't wait to put my scope and light on it!

I purchased a set of these rails for my Smith & Wesson M&P-15. I was pleasantly suprised at the quality of these grips for the under $40 price on Amazon. This grip set included the covers too. The seller was fast to ship. Smooth purchase all the way on a great buy.
