Solid rail - Troy M14 BattleRail

I bought this rail to use on a Springfield M1A Loaded. The rail was fairly easy to install, although you do need to remove your flash hider and gas lock. The rail looks very clean with the wood stock, as it only replaces the fiberglass top handguard.
Pros:
- Solid mounting system that attaches in three points to the upper receiver
- Adds rails to the top and sides
- Fairly easy to install (<1 hour labor)
Cons:
- The flat top puts optics VERY high above the stock, so using a check riser is essential for getting a decent cheek weld
- The rail mounts to the rear sight base, so you lose the stock M1A irons
- No bottom rail means no mounting points for a bipod. The only side mounted bipods from reputable companies I have found are the VLTOR Modpods, which are prohibitively expensive.
