Saw this handguard accessory on a C7 repro someone built on r/retroar. I have an old B-Square forearm myself but the injection-molded polymer part would pale in quality comparison to a metal one, which is by the looks of it, what this one seems to be made out of:
Can someone identify it by mfg., part name and such?

Pressure pad zip tied on top, pic rail section with VFG zip tied on bottom. Neat bayonet lug flashlight mount, never seen one of those before.

Are you talking about the mini-mount that fits over the bayonet lug? They were popular when "Dissy" was all the rage.
They were sold by some Israeli company that made grips & such - will repost when I get home & look at the parts box. I'm 99.87% sure I still have one in my "WhyTheHellDidYouSaveThisForAndWhatTheHellareYouGoingToDoWithIt" stash.
Maybe FAB? Sort of rings a bell in those dusty cobwebs .

FAB Defense sounds about right

Sorry folks didn't mean this to get out of context beyond the handguard clamp
If you are wondering about the bayonet lug accessory, it is not FAB Defense, but to Hammer's point it might be Israeli: Kley-Zion (OP in that Reddit post disclosed getting that model from that vendor, as linked)

I think the top piece is laser mount. It attaches to barrel

It's in the same place and slightly resembles the shape of a PAQ-4/PEQ-2 mount, but that's definitely the tape switch from the Streamlight.

While the tape switch is zip tied on, the bottom rail is almost certainly bolted to the handguard.
