ARES Octarms M-LOK Rail System for M4 / M16 Series Airsoft AEG Rifles (Color: Dark Earth / 8")

"Like all the other reviews it does sit probably 1/4 of an inch off the receiver, but this thing is absolutely amazing and very strong feeling.

"I think it is mostly a good rail. The quality is certainly good, but as many previous reviewers mentioned, it does not seem to fit flush to most other brands bodies and the AEG I used it for (A&K Mk12) was no exception.

Pros
Streamlined shape with a nice, good looking finish
Comfortable to handle (I prefer holding it directly, no vertical or angle grip for me)
Lightweight and with lots of space for M-Lok
Easy to install - AR-15 or comparable wrench highly recommended. Spacing shims included
Mock gas tube still fits underneath

Cons
The top rail of the hand guard sits lower than the rail on my receiver
There is a gap about .05 - .075 between the rail and my receiver

Despite the imperfect fit, I think my setup still looks really slick with this hand guard. If a perfect fit is a must for your build, I would stay away from this hand guard. I am quite pleased with the overall quality and I am glad that it mostly works out with my setup.

"I just installed this on my G&G CM-16 R8L, my first ever airsoft gun, and it made my gun look brand new. it is very sturdy and very light. The installation was not hard, G&G have a painful nut set up, nothing some pliers and elbow grease can't help. The rail does not however fit flush with the receiver and it is about a credit card width lower than the picatinny rail on top of the receiver, but it is extremely hard to see. But great rail for an amazing price as well.

"I put this on my Cyma 612 and it looks amazing. It adds weight and dosent leave my barrel wobbly, only thing thats weird is that it dosent sit against the receiver but not a big issue

"I put this rail in to WE M4 GBB and works great !

"It’s a good fairly inept rail
The install is easy a little bit finicky at worst, it’s a good m lol rail though

"Looks great, nice finish, and the shims included made it easy to line the rails up. Its much lighter and slimmer than my KWA SR10 OEM rail. Unfortunately this rail does not align with a KWA SR10 upper rail. Its about 4mms lower than the upper's rail. Not a big deal for me as this is a back-up gun, and looks don't matter as its still functional Great price for a slim, light weight rail.

"Definitely a good cheap rail, feels sturdy and nice in the hands. takes some slight modification to the barrel nut and the threads on my receiver because there was a gap, but after that it fit flush and looked great. it was slightly out of line, but i think that’s because of my shoddy dremel work, and if you get something to stabilize the barrel then it’ll straighten out and look great. but again, this probably won’t fit most M4’s completely flush without a little dremel work.

"Good construction and feels great. Switched over from keymod. Perfect choice if you want an affordable m-lok handguard.

NOTE: Did not fit flush with my G&G M4 until I dremel'd the barrel nut threads. After that, it looked incredible.


5/5 would recommend

"I was surprised at the quality for the relatively low price. It’s diameter is verified at 38 mm and can fit the we cqb master suppressor snugly (35mm). The 13.5 in one isn’t overly heavy and feels great in the hands. It comes with lots of small metal rings, but I don’t know where they go or what to do with them.

"Just put this on a Matrix S&T M4 and had a little gap between the rail and reciever. Still really cool to me and the price is EPIC! Install was easy.

"looks good feels sturdy and a good metal

"-Pros-
Excellent value for the money, price simply cannot be beat. Don’t let the low price fool you, this is a good quality aluminum RIS.

All mounting hardware and barrel but included.

It’s a fairly decent diameter, around 38mm, it can fit an AT1000 tracer.

-Cons-
About 2mm short of mating flush to a CA upper. I might try doing some grinding to correct the issue, but it’s. Not a deal breaker.

"This item Does Not fit a VFC Body. It is good quality though but need to return. Better discription is needed.

"For the price and quality you get unbeatable! Very well made I just pair this with WE M4 metal receiver and it fit perfect !!
