Expo Arms M4 RAS Quad Rail Handguard - Carbine Length Review

[Stickman]

Thanks for the review, I've only heard good things from Expo. Their Wedgelock rail has been in my cart for a while.

I have zero experience with anything else from Expo Arms that I know of. My dealings with Primary Arms have been interesting to say the least, and not all in a perfect / positive way. I think they are in the midst of change, and it is my hope that they will grow and learn from any mistakes (like we all should). I think these rails will be a massive jump forward for Expo Arms, as they are sure to garner a lot of positivity with this release.

If the rail were anything less than what I wrote above, I would have noted it, but it is honestly hard to have a product much better in execution. Like I posted, KAC is the one who gets the credit for the development, but the Expo really did a nice job with the MFGing on this one.

I'd guess it's the same manufacturer that makes Brownells RAS systems. I'm just glad to see plenty of Carbine pic rails available. I was getting panicked!

8FW25 is the cage code for Prudent American Technologies, which I’m pretty sure is the new name for what was P&S.

I'd have guessed that with 95% certainty, but didn't want to post that assumption. Same code as Brownells RAS I'd guess. Either way.. happy to see these available. Restores a sliver of faith in humanity!

Absolutely! If it’s any consolation to the closers, the rail on my assigned weapon which was a new Colt M4A1 (circa 2020 or so) was P&S.

I'm not fanatical about getting a KAC RAS over a P&S myself. As long as I can get a RAS, I'm happy. I went on a frenzy and overpaid for a couple Gunbroker P&S RAS systems a few months back. I'd have saved money by waiting, but couldn't take the chance.

The only reason I'm NOT buying one of these (well, the M5 version) to finish my fallen friend's M16A4 is that that would be one less, and one very BIG and important less, of his bring-back parts going into a weapon completed in his memory.

(Okay, with WA's new BS bans, piss be eternally upon all behind their enactment and all who support those traitors to their oaths, it's a spare upper to swap onto his M4, but y'all see my point.)

Fantastic! I appreciate the info. I wonder if they are making them for P&S, or if they are just leasing the contract (or something similar).
