Has anybody used the First Samco handguards for the M4 , the ones that have the rails on them?
If so how do you like them?

I have the M33's. They are nice and fit pretty tight, I have a vertical grip installed on them on it doesn't move at all.

I use the Samco M33 combined with a Tango Down Vertical Grip. I like them alot. They are not perfect however. Since I have never used a four way rail system I cannot compre, but if you pull the grip to the right or left really hard, the hndguards will split apart. Other than that I really like them.

They suck Big Time.  The rail covers do not fit well.  The rail size varies so  that some attachments fit well on some of the rails but not on the others.  Purchase a different make.

I haven't used them, but I was considering getting them until I saw them in a store and handled them.  Didn't find them aesthetically pleasing at all.  For a solid, 4 rail (non free float) handguard, go with YHMs 4 rail 2 piece handguards.

Easy to install and you can find them on here for about $100 brand new.  I love mine!

I agree that the YHM's are a better deal. I got my M33's for free so I can't bitch. My rail covers fit good and the only accessory I've used fit with no problem. I'd still probably go with the YHM's though.

I have a set of M33s. I took the top 1/2 of the M33 and put it with the lower 1/2 of a standard car handgaurd. I know have two sets of handgaurds with rails on each of them. It works out really well for me. I have a Fore grip and light on each set. If you where going to mount a optic on the forearm I would going with a free floating system.
