- CONS
I prefer smooth handguards for long barreled rifles - the quadrails and other holes make them uncomfortable for long shooting sessions. This handguard mounts easily and is durable. On a .308 AR platform, it keeps both the barrel and my hands cool during long shooting sessions. It also can handle a mount for a bipod, and allow prone or bench shooting with the bipod attached.
This product came with a .308 stainless bull barrel and upper receiver. It is really nice quality with a deep mil spec anodized finish. I did make a 1/4” spacer just forward of the gas block to support the end of the attachment. It clamps on to the barrel and is a very snug fit to the fore grip. I would not worry about the timing, as the design looks great, and functions fine. You would need to dedicate it to a barrel nut if you drill it for a strap loop though.
