I know few of you will care, but it might save somebody a search. I a have a couple of uppers (LMT, Daniel Defense) that came with M4 handguards; I built the lowers, then added Geissele triggers when they came on the market. Didn't want to put rails on these two, and wanted to go back to "old-school" round handguards.
This ended up being quite a search for quality, and I'm glad to report these hand guards fit perfectly, and are tight as can be. What may surprise some is I was about ready to order them from Israel, but found them at the hated by some CTD! for $11. Got here in two days, with reasonable shipping charge. Win-win if you are looking for IMI Defense stuff. |

Entirely possible someone here in the U.S. makes them of the same quality. Ones I have examined from manufacturers I do not wish to name came without heat shields, were flexy, etc.
I am old, and grew up on the originals. Bushmaster used to have some good ones many years ago; don't trust them now. I do not wish to denigrate U.S. manufacturers/distributors that may well have an equal product. I just know some Israelis who say these have never broken for them. From the packaging to the actual product, what I received reeks of quality. Time will tell. They look no different than the old product you'd find on a Colt, except maybe the retaining flanges a tad thicker. They fit like a glove. |
