Or perhaps bipod preload would be a similar force and more familiar to most of you.
I'm considering getting a Smoke Composites 12" to replace the DCM tube in my Da's AR15 to bring it from a front biased 12.7lbs to a more neutral 11.6lbs. |

PRI? One of the strongest (and heaviest) handguards made.
One of the Brigand Arms? Not so much for loading a bipod or sling tension. There are others in the middle. |

Lancers (and the streamline they make for Faxon) are as ridgid and probably a little more than an equivalent aluminum free float tube design.
I have a 13” Faxon Stream line that I’ve beat to hell. Bipod loading doesn’t really flex much. My sling mount is back towards the receiver and I don’t really shoot sling tension really. Pressing it on barricades it doesn’t really shift |

I've had a lancer HG on my xlr chassis for over 11yrs I think. Never broken it and have shot 100s of matches with it (prs) have smashed it in all manner of ways. Bipod on it and use a sling often.
I would buy a lancer HG any day. |
