I bought on of the CMMG bargain rifles 16.5 HBAR, and I want to add a front grip.

Do I ned to buy rails also?

If so which rails do you reccomend, and which grip?

Thanks

You will need a rail and you can buy a single rail that will bolt to the holes in your hand guards http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/Midwest-Industries-MI-Rail-VPG-Package-p/mi%20rail%20vpg%20package.htm
but I would suggest something like these:

http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/Troy-Ind-Tactical-Free-Float-Carbine-p/troy%20mrf%20di%207.htm

http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/Midwest-Industries-MCTAR-17-p/mctar-17.htm

One of these makes life easy...

As to grips, I would go to a gun show and feel around until I found one that felt good.

Apparently I am URL retarded today

I see very little on them but no complaints.

I don't like to be a tester.

Here's a link to an ARF thread about the specific rails I posted. Very recent.

http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=12&t=358506

And here they are for $49.95.

Consensus seems to be that they're good if you're mounting front grips and a light or something like that, but that you would NOT want to use them to mount optics to. That's cool, cause I just want them for a light mainly. The front grip will be a nice to have.

Are 7" front rails really like 6.5 inches? I measured the handguards and they are only about 6.5"

I understand that urge to keep costs down, but buy "expensive" (i.e. quality) once, cry once; buy cheap, cry multiple times. I would go with a Midwest, Samson, Troy, or even YHM if you are looking for a quality handguard that isn't going to break the bank. My $0.02.
