Diabolus Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 (edited) I called Sidearmor today and they just released a mil spec rail for the M4!! I was looking for just a rail, but I wonder if this is a better option with the shell carrier? Check this out, this is without attachments: With attachments: Edited August 28, 2010 by Diabolus Quote
xamoel Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 wow, sidearmor really gets thing going atm!! seems like a much more solid option than the mesa tactical version! btw they are planning to find an importer for europe right now! Quote
ROCKETW19 Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 shell holder looks nice to bad you have to buy a rail to make it work. Quote
Renault Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 shell holder looks nice to bad you have to buy a rail to make it work. but, i was under the impression that the rail that comes on the M4 sucks and should be replaced anyway :X Quote
Hookster Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 I think it looks good Diabolus, are you going to order one? Hookster Quote
KB Fab Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 I think it looks good Diabolus, are you going to order one? Hookster Bad ass is more like it. Not too much $$$ either, even when you factor in the shell holder. Jesus Kip, any reason why we should wait? Quote
ROCKETW19 Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 but, i was under the impression that the rail that comes on the M4 sucks and should be replaced anyway :X ya thats what everyone says but i have no use for the top rail anyways so it sucks to have to buy one. But I like the shell holder and I probably will.lol Quote

Jesus Kip, any reason why we should wait? If you think you'll elect to use this means of toting extra shells, it appears to be a superb option. I'm very impressed. Much nicer than their 1 lb alternative, the modular aspect is 1st rate. Very reasonably priced too. Edited August 12, 2010 by cleefurd Quote
SKYKING44 Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Kip, once again, I see you slept in until 4:00AM this morning. In a different thread you mentioned you would have your rail on your site by Friday. Could you please email me a photo of your rail? Or confirm when it will be on your site/available for sale. Appreciate it. Quote
Diabolus Posted August 12, 2010 Author Posted August 12, 2010 I think it looks good Diabolus, are you going to order one? Hookster You bet! I have been waiting for a rail for a long time. Not only does this solve the mil-spec rail issue, but its got a great carrier as well. I'm very excited to finally mount my T1 w/ LaRue, I cant wait to sight it in. Quote
Stompy Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 I might pick one of these up too. Myself and many others have been waiting along time to get a nice milspec rail at a good price. The extra shell holder option is icing on the cake. I would reather get this than the Sidearmor super heavy monster rail system. This looks like alot better option than the Mesa Tactical side saddle but I still might get their Urbino stock with a cheek riser for a proper cheek weld with optics to go along with this new rail and shell holder.

StrangerDanger Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Sidearmors rails are nice. Even their center cut units won't tear up a LaRue mount. I checked mine again yesterday after putting 150 rounds of high brass bird shot through it after a pistol class. I'm up to about 1500 rounds since adding the Aimpoint t1. Not a single mark on the recoil lug. Quote
needncash Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 no issues with sight picture? I'm sure someone at Sidearmor looked into that before they went ahead with production. LOL Quote
BigHat Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Anyone remove the stock rail on the M4 yet? Any issues getting it off? Quote
Hookster Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 None at all, mine wasn't even very tight. Later, Hookster Quote
StrangerDanger Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 The factory rail comes off very easily. Just make sure you use a proper flat head. Screw driver. Quote
Diabolus Posted August 28, 2010 Author Posted August 28, 2010 Received the Sidearmor rail today and just installed. Installation was easy, all tools and Loctite were provided. The quality and fit are outstanding, I'm very happy with it. I bought this Aimpoint over a year ago to install in a LaRue mount and I was finally able to complete! Quote
