Just curious - what is everyone's favorite Mlok handguard from a purely aesthetics point of view?

I'm a function over form kind of guy but I will admit that BCM, KAC, FCD, Centurion, and Geissele all happen to look nice but more importantly are super functional first.

BCM makes nice stuff.

But their giant laser-etched BCM logos on it all are a major turn-off, when considering "most aesthetically pleasing."

Purely aesthetic, I think BCM.  I do prefer the MI Combat rail function wise.

I actually like the new UTG Pro Ultra Slim (not to be confused with their Super Slim):



Nice transition to the unrailed 12 o'clock portion and back to rail for the front sight.  Plus, I really like the knurling for some reason.

There are lots of good looking ones.  The best also depends on the build.  For example, some look much better with suppressors than without.

+1  Nice clean and well made rail.

For a more aggressive look on short barrels I like the STNGR HWK.

I love the look and feel on my Q (Honey Badger) 11.5 inch handguards. Very clean.

But the new Hodge slock looks really good too.

Centurion and mcmr are nice looking rails.

Although a bit chunky I always liked the Geissele mk8 in black.

Cloud Defensive with the light.

They only make a 9.5" though so otherwise I like CMT's rails.

I think DD MFR rails are by far the most streamlined and they're very light.  They have fairly subdued lettering/numbering and they make a slimmer version and a wider version for tucking a silencer in.  Awesome rock solid mounting like all DD rails and no bulgy protrusions hanging down like a cancery tumor (looking at you, Gissele/Troy/MI/SLR)

Diversity in handguards is our strength!

I pretty much like any that don't have protruding tabs to tighten the rail to the barrel nut.  Midwest Industries just sticks down and looks wrong.  I'm 100% sure they function awesome, I could just never get one because to me they look cheap.  BCM was smart with the fasteners above the barrel nut and URX 4 is the barrel nut so both look streamlined and nice.
