The good thing about this Monmouth handguard though vs the Matrix, is that it has anti rotation tabs.
Also I bet the Monmouth actually has QD Sling Mount Holes, VS The holes Matrix uses for decoration.
Chandler is good to go but their shipping adds $12 to the price for me.
So $70 VS $106 Shipped.
I guess for $36 more you get anti rotation tabs, in spec QD Sockets. Either looks like a good choice IMO
Monmouth: 13? – 11.85oz
Matrix: 8.9 Oz
ALG EMR: 9.30oz.
The weight between Monmouth and Matrix is only 2.95 oz, Adding a mlok sling adapter/qd adapter to the Matrix would only make the weights slightly closer.
I guess Monmouth is a stand up company. Somebody was talking about their CS in the Aero Handguard thread.
Also be aware that the Matrix Handguards are a really tight fit around the gas block. The finish it is a bit chalky too.
Buy they are excellent for the money, and are very light weight/slim diameter. I never had one come loose or slide forward.
A pencil barrel would be excellent with a Matrix Handguard.
