I have one mounted on my shorty and it is good. I have 2 problems with it, but the corrections will be made soon.
First, the good points. It is sturdy and holds up well to rough handling. It was fairly easy to install as well as straight forward. The rail covers fit well and the entire unit fit tightly and did't rattle. During long firing periods, it never got too hot to handle. The surface texture aided a positive grip.
The bad points. Mine has a slight side-to-side movement in it. Not much, but it takes away the advantages of precision shooting with mounted optics. Secondly, the rail covers slide freely, front to back. This movement can and has pinched the support hand. Not uncomfortable but annoying. The upper cover is held in place by the front sight tower and upper receiver, but the lower will come right off.
Someone from this board recommended using black high temp RTV when installing the M-33 to prevent this side-to-side movement. I am going to try this fix this week. I'll ket you know the results. The sliding rail cover was corrected accidentally. I installed a CQB sling which attaches via strap to the forearm. With the sling strap in place and cinched down, the rail cover does not move.
All this said and done, the M-33 is pretty damn good for what it is, and it is easy on the wallet. I purchased mine for this reason alone, it was a whole lot cheaper than the others out there (KAC, FIRSH, etc.)
