Just ordered my Stag Carbine upper. Now I'm researching quad rails. I'm going for quality on this build, and I plan on mounting an optic (aimpoint or Eocech - havent decided yet). I'm wondering if a free float is really necessary for this rifle. I'm operating at distances of up too 150 yards max. However I do plan on mounting a vertical hand grip and a tac light. Will these accessories put enough strain on the barrel to warrant a $250 free float? For the money I'll save I'll be well on my way to an optic.
If not... Can anyone suggest any quality (non free float) qaud rails for my carbine. No plastic crap.
Thanks dudes.
