jbcricket · May 10, 2012, 21:20

i want to get a quad rail for my ds arms sa58 but i cant afford to spend $2-300 for it so i been looking at the cheaper ones, TufForce, Aim Sport, Leapers UTG, and legion arms. Anybody have experience with any of these?

I have expierence with the DSA & UTG.

Both of them make an already heavy rifle even worse, at least as far as a full length gas system goes.

If your talking about railz on a short gas gun, thats a worthwhile venture.

Now depending on what your really going after here, attaching a few pieces of picatinny rail to standard plastic of fiberglass handgards is a workable option for mounting all the Ninga/Operator crap you`ll ever need.

^ this. Too heavy!!

All others are quite heavy. I know the UTG works but not super high quality / sharp edges as most.(rough on hands)
The VLTOR CSAV is pricey but very light and easier on hands by far.
Personally I would wait and save for the good stuff. There is a huge difference in comfort, weight, and quality. Have them both.

Although I'm not a Quad rail junkie and don't think they "fit" the FAL I must add another vote for the VLTOR product. Yea they are expensive but very light (by comparison) and extremely well made..

That being said even though I'm not a Quad rail person I actually did give serious consideration to this quad for one of my FAL's thinking I might like ONE rifle with a diff much more modern appearance..

I looked at the vltor and was interested in buying one.
Then looked at the price.
At that time DSA had uppers on sale.
Added in a little more cash and got another upper and started building another kit.
And so it goes.

so the 3 quad rails i'm debating on are leapers utg, TufForce, and aim sports. I just want it for a light and possible a bipod or grip. you guys have any experience with any of these?

paulb2112 · May 22, 2012, 14:32

Yes, they all work but are heavy and have rough edges.

Mine has the Aim Sports rail, not rough at all with the rubber inserts.

I have the tufforce on mine cuz it was super cheap it is a bit heavier than stock but I had a magpul afg and their xtm rail panels I wanted to try on it, that solves the edges problem but I had to lightly sand the edges of the side rails down a bit to be the panels to lock on because of how tight they have to be to snap, but overall I do like it
