Hand tight after cleaning and degreasing works fine for the Matrix hand guards. Loctite will result in broken screws or at least did in my case. Cleaning and degreasing? This thing is dry as a bone. CHAD My handguard was also but the machine screws were lightly oiled. |

There are so many nice, American made free float tubes for reasonable prices - ~ $120-180 - that I just can't see the point in spending $50-80 on a shitty Chinese one that they spent more money on shipping than on manufacturing.

Keymod covers from Bravo Company seem to fit the low end keymod rails where the Noveske will not since there are not bevel cuts on the inside of the cheaper handguards. I put them on a Matrix and Omega that would not accept the Noveske covers. Came out fine - just need to be patient.

Given: Ch1na wants us to have crappy weapons, and USA parts are superior, and anyone who knowingly buys overseas gear (excepting all the fine surplus firearms) is not a patriot. The cheap parts will fail and forget mounting a sling or accessories. I have never handled an AR, and I have no idea what I want. I'd hate to spend $260 on a sweet HG that turns out not what I like. Yes I could resell or keep for the inevitable 2nd build, but I found a guard that looks good to me. Someone is putting ch1na parts on their builds. Are the handguards really so bad? A couple of hundred towards ammo would be nice. http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/lA8AAOSwuAVWx1iz/s-l1600.jpg CHAD D Other screen name? |
