I am looking to replace my stock hand guards on my Bushmaster Patrolman Carbine with a quad rail. Looking for some info and some recommendations for a new quad rail with a price around 100- 125 dollars.

The UTG works great for me on my SBR. Comes with short covers too, which is nice.

Go with the UTG PRO - made in the US of A.
UTG Pro Carbine Length
I have two on my RRA AR's (Rocky and Blackie) and I'm impressed with the fit and finish.
They make two other carbine length models, one with rails forward of the front sight
UTG Pro Extended
And a Symmetrical Split Slim-Rail System
UTG Pro Split Rail
that claims "22% weight saving and 24% width reduction compared to the Leapers UTG PRO Made in USA Model 4 Carbine Length Tactical Quad Rail System MTU001. The hand guard mount provides 8 screw holes on each side allowing multiple installation positions for the 4 detachable side rails."

If you watch the boards long enough you can snag the Knights Armament RAS for about the price you are wanting to pay. Also check ebay. Literally at least 50 are for sale any time you check.

Re: Need help selecting AR 15 Handguards/Quad Rail.
Ask yourself if you really NEED a quad rail.
I can't imagine what I would hang on all that rail space, so I just roll with a MOE handguard and rail sections where I need them.
I don't really need a FF handquard on a patrol rifle either, so it wasn't a big deal. I have cleaned the Army qual course with the MOE handguard.

I would suggest looking at Yankee Hill. They have a few different styles of Free Float Quad Rails to choose from that are in your price range. I have a midlength Diamond Series and its pretty rugged. They also offer a lightweight version thats quite nice. I went with the diamond because it just looks better.I think I paid $110 brand new.

I really like my half quad forend from RRA. I don't use a VFG. The smooth part is much more comfortable in my hand, while having the quad rail in front for other options. The mid length may not fit your system, and I think there are other similar options out there.

Rather than go with the low end rail products from UTG or RRA, spend a couple more dollars and get a Daniel Defense Omega-X 12FSP rail. ALthough they usually cost over $300, Midway as them on sale for $199.
Daniel Defense Omega-X 12FSP at Midway...
When it comes to AR rails, Daniel Defense is 2nd to none.
