See what I did there?
Anyhoo I have a TM M4A1 which is fine and dandy in general but I'm wondering what my options are regarding RAS kits. I've been looking at them for the main purpose of having a bit more mounting space that I currently have (I fitted a rail to the underside of the handguard) and to rid myself of the hideous squeaky plastic handguard itself.
I currently use an Element M600C Scout light which does a fantastic job of stripping paint and destroying retinas at 100 yards but the pressure pad wire leaves me with very little space for a vertical foregrip (currently using a Guarder chunky monkey with the pressure pad lodged neatly down the side) so I'm thinking I have two options: 1) buy an element m910A style combined foregrip/light which has the added advantage of little nav lights or B) fit a RAS handguard which then means I'll have no room for the battery which will force me to adopt the use of a PEQ box but means I can continue to use the Scout light and grip (which is aces by the way - I have enormous hands so most grips feel like pipe cleaners to me).
I guess the burning questions are these - are the D-Boys RAS handguards any good and if so will they fit the delta ring/handguard cap on a TM M4A1, is there an alternative RAS guard that DOES let you fit the battery (and a MOSFET too BTW) inside and thus keep the rails free for all sorts of tactical sporks and the like?
Cheers chaps!
