I saw an M5 RAS in an Brownell’s email. Panels have a different Cage Code. M5 in stock, but the M4 isn’t. Is this old news?
Does it have a P&S cage code?
I’m not sure. I have P&S M4 RAS, but these panels just have the code. I’ll have to compare later tonight when I get home.
I saw it posted on the other thread. Much cheaper alternative. Looks good online, excited to hear how it works out for you.
Pappabear has my P&S on one of his guns, so I can’t check the Cage Code. These have “8FW25”. The panels are marked differently than mine, but they probably are P&S:
“These handguards are provided to Brownells by a US Government contractor and are new production.”
Thoroughbred Armament has P&S M4 RAS kits with panels and fore grip. Not cheap, but less than I’ve paid for Knights several times. P&S is a gov contractor and I’ve heard the quality is there.
P&S is now “Prudent American Technologies”, but I don’t know if they have any .gov contracts for rails. I think they make rails for the commercial market, though.
Google says cage code 8FW25 is Prudent American Technologies, which according to Charlie’s Custom Clones is the parent company of P&S.
The M5 RAS cage 4U486 is licensed from Knights for Mil contracts.
Yeah. My P&S m4 RAS definitely has a different cage code. Either way. Great prices for a great rail.
I just picked up a Vero Beach M4 RAS in a trade that was made 10/23/01, missing the screw and clip of course so I am trying to locate those. It came with 2 - 11 Ribs marked Knights Vero Beach, 2 marked Knights only and 6 with Knights cage code and two bottom pieces. Now trying to decide if I want to put it on a flat top or A2 Colt upper.
I’ve only seen the 11 rib panels marked Vero Beach, nothing shorter. Perhaps they exist and others have some. At one time I had quite a few and cut some down, but except for one in front of my fore grip I prefer nekid rails these days.
Email KAC, dude on reddit said they mailed him replacement for free
Is this the best option to add a rail to a regular 20” rifle?
*Just googled and found the answer to my question in regards to free float or not. Thanks
Negative. However, The screw clamps the top rail onto the barrel nut, giving a rigid platform for stuff like IR
Copy, thank you Caballo!
In my opinion, yes. There is the Geissele rifle rail which is bad ass, but it’s $550 when it’s available.

Then you got to tear the bitch apart and all that. I hit the easy button and ordered a P&S M5.
