I figured there would be a bunch of people here who would want to see this. I just got my handguard from him. It is outstanding work.

I got cherry. It looks pretty close to the original. A little lighter. Could be stained. I don’t have a photo server anymore to post pictures.
He has pictures of the cherry handguard on his post. |

Those look nice - hopefully in spec so they "drop in" without mods.

did you have to supply the metal bands or were you able to purchase the handguards with the bands?

I supplied the bands. His price included assembling them and shipping.

Anyone got a source for the needed liners/bands or a sacrificial wood ARM handguard set for the bands? I rarely see them come up and when they do the prices are pretty high for even trashed sets..

If you don't have a donor pair I am not sure where to find them. |

For some reason I thought the hardware on the wood HG's were different from the plastic ones... someone indicated they were in fact the same and directed me to Numrich, and I got a pair of donor HG's for this... looks like they have since gone out of stock. Thanks for the info though! |

They were ARM handguards and looks like the listing has been removed. The AR Handguards are listed but out of stock. I received them today, bipod cut and in much better shape than I was expecting for the $33 I paid for them...
