I've never had a YHM rail break or come loose, but I'm not really a hard user so take that for what it's worth. they don't look as nice as some of the others the actual rails aren't always to spec, so some attachments might not quite fit right usually just too fat, I like a narrower cross section with regard to feel

The YHM free float rails that I've seen ARE free float in function, not just in name. Nothing wrong with YHM, but as usual it depends on the application and your preferences. Those that have only used YHM will of course talk about how happy they are to have their first railed fore end. Remember, those that have tried more than a few rails will recommend many others over the YHM. At just over double the cost (actually less than double after having to pay to ship the rifle and YHM back and forth to get it installed tightly) I would never suggest a YHM product of any kind, except for a phantom FH or one of the suppressors they manufacture under license. I've since bought a 10.0 DD rail and then an Omega. It came with a DD 9.0 that I quickly upgraded to a 12.0 FSPM. I truly wish I had saved that hundred bucks to put towards ADCO's first ever DMM4 upper- back before midlengths were all the rage.

I basically gave it away for free on the rifle when I sold it. I started with DD when I could afford it and took a huge loss on the YHM. The edges were sharp and annoying and really fouled up the foam I custom cut in my starlight case. It was cheaply parkerized and it actually loosened up several times. I could barely get anything to fit without forcing it. The Lite rail costs more for a reason- it's a superb rail.Īnd yes, its easy to say that everyone that likes the most expensive rails are elitists or just have too much money to waste.īut, take it from someone who HAD to have a railed fore end on a cheap budget and who later tried DD. if someone wants to send me a larue i'll test it too.Īre most LaRue railed fore ends $50 cheaper than similar DDs or are you looking at a Lite rail compared to LT's standard rail? i suspect i'll get the same groups and that it wont break under a moderate beating. i'll bang it around some, benchrest it, pull a barrel temp reading, pop it off and put on a DD, bang it around some and benchrest it, and get a barrel temp again. what if you don't need "as good," but need "better than plastic?" so what if they're not "as good?" that doesn't make them junk. but i'm sure they're still a jagantaye improvement over ANY plastic guards. they're heavier, don't look as cool (as DD larue guards are fugly), cost less, and probably don't wick heat as well. I have trouble following the logic that YHM is "junk." people say, but they never say why. DD rocks, but i've recently doubted if i HAVE to spend an additional $350 on every build. Larue's have always been too ugly, too skinny, or the guy on the phone's been having too bad of a day by the time he answers my call for me to want to place an order, so I've never owned one.

as soon as i decide on a barrel length for my "cheap gun" build i'm gonna order one up.Īll i ve used is DD. Well i haven't used any YHM stuff, but I'm gonna. If I get something of theirs I will sell it. I will not send another dollar their way.
