Which rail material are would offer a more secure lock on a polymer handguard?  Aluminum or polymer?  Or should I assume no difference?  

This is for a shotgun, so recoil would not be gentle.  The light is an X300.  Ideally, I would want Al on Al, but I don't want to replace the handguard at this time.

The Mlok nuts are steel regardless obviously, not sure how much difference the pic rail section itself will make. Regardless, I’d use loctite and witness mark it for sure.
