Anyone hear any word on when these might be shipping? They really seem stuck in this rut of showing cool shit then not selling it or giving any kind of eta..

I just talked to the production manager on Friday and they are trying to have them out by shot show. They have started shipping to the warehouses so it shouldn’t be too much longer.

OP; it would help to know which ones you're talking about. The SquadeDrop or M-lok handguards?

Bushmaster/Remington is releasing the new generation handguard. It’s either squaredrop or mlok. They are very close to the v2’s but with a better mounting system and no rear qd socket.
They weigh about the same as a v2 handguard too. I run them on my test rifles and love them. I’ll upload pics fairly soon showing the v2 vs what would be considered the v3? Rail |

Thanks Dana,
Just throwing a plug out for Templar Precision, he does awesome custom work, turns the rifle into what it always should have been.

Do you know if the new handguards will work on my remington defense ACR? Will it have a tighter fit than the V2 handguard?

Thanks for the shout out man!
The new rails work with the defense rifles. You’d need one cerakoted to match your rifle though. The defense rails don’t very work well with the bushmaster acrs. The barrel wrenches get in the way because of the tighter profile. You can do it but you probably would have to remove the barrel wrench. The new rails are about .125” taller than the Remington rail so it feels almost identical but works way better with the wrench setups. I honestly can’t feel a difference unless I run both rifles (rails) back to back. |

Just got my mlok one in yesterday. Overall I love it. I had a midwest short one on it before, and had no problems with it, but this one is much beefier and feels great in the hand. I also never noticed, but the midwest handguard kind of blocked my gas plug on my 10.5" barrel and made it difficult to turn. On the 16" (14.5" now) it wasn't a problem.
Also got the Ambi charging handle / tray in and I'll be working on that later tonight. It came in what looks like retail packaging as if they're going to be selling it in stores too. It had decent instructions, but I'll be uploading a video on how to do it as the instructions seem a little hard to follow.

^^yes their new packaging looks really good on the new parts.
They aren’t playing games with the handguards, I didn’t expect them to drop before the nra show. (At least the mlok ones). I should be getting my shipment on them tomorrow or Friday. |

Hopefully not too much thread necro, but Bushmaster now has the new handguards on their site:
MLOK Square Drop Dual charging handle assembly too The 6.8 kit is up too, and they are listing a 300 BLK ACR carbine. Sign up for their email list, as they do 20-25% off sales throughout the year. |

I thought I read something about the actuator being upgraded to be stronger, and not beat up the cut out in the receiver. Can anyone verify that?

Yes, the new charging handle design latches in a totally different way so as to not peen the front of its slot in the receiver.

They are different and much better. I don’t like the ambi personally. Its too wide for my likings. I’m slowly adding the new actuators into all my rifles with folding charging handles.
They don’t peen the receiver much at all, I’ve been running one since last September or so and have had no issues at all with them. |

Yeah, when you pull it all the way back, it hits on the side you’re pulling on.

They should have extended the carriage so it bottoms out on the back of the stock or need to start revising receivers with longer or angled reliefs for the charging handle. |

Does it? Haven't heard that. Why would that happen, when it's non-reciprocating? The only time it's at the rear is when you're charging it by hand. |

I really like the new hanguard. I like it much better than the aftermarket offerings. Usually the rifle manufacturers don’t make hanguard a as good as the aftermarket companies do but this one is nice

I like those forearm. Mine is a fde one so would need that color. I do like the Midwest one and was planning on getting it but now I see this lol. How much was the forearm? I also thought about the 6.8 spc2 barrel conversion and 300 bo one. Undecided yet.

If you want to stay with the 300 barrel you have to keep the ambi assembly. The older assemblies won't work with the 300 gas blocks.
