Done a search and didn't find anything.
So school me...........

1.....Are free float handguards worth the money, or just "tactical hype" ?
2.....I understand they are designed to improve accuracy, but how much difference do they really make ?
3.....Do they have the durability of a regular handguard ?
4.....Do they have a weight advantage, or disadvantage ?
5.....Any other pros, cons ?

Worth the money YES



2.....I understand they are designed to improve accuracy, but how much difference do they really make ?



This is completely upon YOU



3.....Do they have the durability of a regular handguard ?



Depends upon the mfg but yes



4.....Do they have a weight advantage, or disadvantage ?



Depends upon the mfg BUT I doubt any have lighter weight forearms than a plastic one (other than Magpul?)



5.....Any other pros, cons ?



Cons = price / some require proprietary tools to fit them

Pros = Rails / Design your rifle to your needs
