Tough, Simple, well built handguard
I was looking for a simple clean build, no extraneous attachments, no sharp edges protruding. Something that would come out of a soft-shell carry-bag easy and not have any protrusions sticking out to snag on anything when going through the woods, and be comfortable to hold when shooting. Didn't need a forward sight, light, etc. Just a short section of picatinny rail for a quick-release bipod on the bottom. I do not need a mounting rail down the top, I do not need a mounting rail anywhere other than on the upper for a scope. This is the only free float guard I have found to fit the bill. And unlike the Hogue brand 'round' models - this one is made from a little thicker material, has elongated slots in it, , which make it both lighter and better ventilated for barrel cooling. It has pre-tapped standard QD pin holes all along it in regular intervals, so the QD bipod pin issue was resolved as well, and no molded foam overcovering, which eventually disintegrates over time, especially if exposed to gun cleaning solvents. Overall, it is very well made. comes with a very well machined barrel nut with over an inch of threads for extra support of the free-floating guard. I picked the extra length 15.5" one to also extend over a low-profile gas block and protect it, with a 24" barrel, and it does that perfectly. Results: A clean simple rifle that has clean lines, no unnecessary protrusions, and a protected barrel, gas block and gas tube, and a barrel guard that allows for air cooling and is very comfortable to hold.

How would returns work if I change my mind? Got more pictures? Thinking of mounting this on an AR 15 with a 20" barrel. Cheers Howard
