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 FB |
