Anyone know where I can find a TRI-AD I mount

[Thaddeus]

I'm looking for a 3-rail TRI-AD I mount, but I can't seem to find one anywhere.
The Colt Canada website doesn't have any ordering information and I can't find any aftermarket retailers that sell it. Anyone know where I can score one?

It's a piece of junk. Why do you want it?

For an actual AR or Soft Air?

You've used one before?
I realize a quad rail handguard is better, I have one on another rifle;)
I want this particular rifle to look like a C8A2.

It's for an actual AR. I found a couple of manufactures that make 'em for Airsoft, but I'm not sure how they'd work on an actual rifle. I'd rather find a mount that's designed for an actual firearm . Can they be purchased from Colt Canada?

they're issued equip for the C7A2..garbage

Complete trash....

Yeah, I know:roll:

Ok, so what's everyone's gripe with 'em
Please be specific.

Quad rail handguards ain't exactly cheap and I ain't rich. I've already sunk A LOT of cash into my other AR. I was hoping to save a little money and buy a TRI-AD I mount as a cheaper alternative.

Do you have pics of your setup?

It's a brand spankin' new Armalite M15A4 carbine that I just bought last week.
I don't have any pics yet, but here's one from the manufacturer's web site.

I really can't afford to spend 300 smackers on another quad rail handguard. I'd kinda like to try to save a few bucks;)
Have you used a TRI-AD I mount before?
Why does it suck so bad?:shrug:

The precision guys will tell you that it sucks because it clamps around the barrel, and messes with its harmonics, thus, degrading accuracy. I'm of the opinion that 99% of users (myself included) can't shoot to the level required that would make that apparent.
It sucks for the average trigger puller because it places a lot of weight, with a Tac light and PEQ2/PAQ4 fitted, a long way forward of the support hand, which severely degrades the ergonomics of the rifle and therefore, the effectiveness of the shooter.
On a durability note, that weight can actually pull the barrel 'down' over time, and apparently rifles and carbines with the TRIAD mount fitted have a much higher predisposition to shearing bolt lugs, due to the slight change in chamber spec.
Save your cash,then buy a Troy or KAC.
Buy once, cry once.
