Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles AR 10 build - barrel length and profile recommendations?

Got home today to find the hand-guard waiting for me. No barrel yet but I screwed it onto the upper to see if the rail matched up. Perfect fit.

The hand-guard came with two 2-3/8" m-lok Picatinny rails, barrel nut, shims and screws. Was not expecting the rails.

The hand-guard rail is milled out on the underside to further reduce weight.

If I were to find faults it would be these:

1. The spacing on the guard's Picatinny rail does not match up perfectly with the spacing on the upper. (Don't know it that is normal or not.)

2. The edges of the cutouts on the guard are a little sharper than I would prefer. Some time in a tumbler or maybe some sand-blasting would have helped.

For $69.99 delivered, though, I am quite happy with it.

Now to get a barrel!
