Nicer than expected

First off, lets get the big one out of the way, and why I knocked off one star. You WILL loose your bipod. It absolutely does not fit with this handrail. But to me, ounces is pounds and pounds equal pain. So taking it off was no big deal.
Onto the rail. Its stout. Its nicely made. I'm not super picky but upon inspection I didn't see any major tooling marks or anything like that.
Installation. Went right on. For a minute I was a tad confused because it initially looked like after you slide it into the circular piece that holds the back in that you can't get it(upward) over the barrel and where it is suppose to sit. Just put some elbow grease into it. A little squeeze and it bends over the barrel hump and goes right into place. If I knew that tid bit when I got this installation would have literally taking less than two minutes. And most of that is putting the six screws in the top cover.
Speaking of that, how awesome is it that you get two choices for a top cover?! Honestly, with how many FAL's there are out there I'm shocked this isn't on most of them. IMO, if you want to hang accessories (ones you actually need, don't be hanging garbage off your gun), OR you just want a cool, modern look, this is the rail for you.

When I rate this "yes" I mean yes(ish). I mean, it works but it's...meh.
It's got decent adjustments on it. It fits pretty good. It just feels....like $30, not almost $100. The material doesn't feel cheap...it's one step up from cheap. Just enough so you don't really complain you spent almost $100 on it.
Plus, the actual swing arm has some play in it. About a half an inch. What I mean by that is the actual arm the night vision attaches too. It doesn't matter what position out if the three it locks into, it has some movement. When it's down over your eye, it's ok, but if you tilt your head down a little, say to look into your red dot or just look down at an angle for any reason it'll swing away from your eye a little. I've been told by Armasight that's what those bungee cords that you see the high speed guys have on their helmet are for. To hold it still. I didn't point out the obvious, to the guy on the phone, that the head unit his company produces doesn't have those, or a good spot to incorporate them. So I found his response....interesting.
But how else are you going to use these hands free not on your rifle?
