Any plans to offer the Evolution or Apex modular handguards in rifle length?
Also, how are the Apex handguards in terms of heat transfer? They just posted it in the New AR Products section.  |

Samson will be making a version of the Evolution that will be exclusive to Rainier Arms. The Apex handguards attach to a standard barrel nut, so the heat transfer is similar to any other railed handguard that utilizes the barrel nut. The Evolution, however, has a heat sink/sleeve that goes over the barrel nut that does wonders for heat transfer. Very efficient and lightweight.  |

Can you share anything about it? What about an ETA? |

Do you have an ETA on the normal EVO rails?

Yeah! I just preordered as well! Is there an ETA?
What about side rails and such? I didn't see anything like that to add to my basket to group into one shipped order. |

No ETA yet, but they are in production. We'll be carrying the side rail pieces just as soon as we get the railed handguards in!

Any word on the weight of these? I might want to use one of these for my 6.8 build if the weight is right. I'll be looking for a 12" setup myself.

Any ETA's yet? (I'm particularly interested in a 14" model, since Samson doesn't seem to be doing one under their own brand.)

I stopped in the shop last monday for a "Sparc", and played with one on there wall and I give it 2 thumbs up. I built my whole rifle from there showroom and you guys wont be disapointed. I got there rail a couple months ago or I would be wating too. I love the triangle cutouts. MUCH better than the sampson "S" cutouts.
