Anyone had experience with the handguards by JP Enterprises? Pros/cons would be appreciated. It will be going on a bushmaster carbine and is a free float system. I never did like the guards with all of the permanent rails that I will never use and would just get in the way. I like my AR clean except for something occassional. I'm going for function; it's a tool, not something to put on the wall. Note: The picture is for example, it is not the carbine model. http://www.jprifles.com/photos/JPHG-5.jpg http://www.jprifles.com/photos/JPTRx4s.jpg |

That is a pretty nice looking set up. I wish I had seen this a few weeks ago. The price is right. Here is the link directly to the handguards: www.jprifles.com/FreeFloatTubeSystem.html |

If I ever free-float my carbine, and I really do want to, it's getting a VikingTactics forend or a D&L Sports forend. Like ya'll have said, a ton of rail space going unused is just a waste of money (nevermind the cost of rail protectors). Clean and simple, with rail only where you need it.... What's not to like? |

I have one on my 20" and really like it. It is very light and very solid. One thing to keep in mind is that installation instructions call for the use of red loktite, so if you ever want to cahange it out I am sure it will be a pain. This wasn't a concern for me however. HTH Seydou |
I have about 1,500 rounds through it and it is still just as solid as when I put it on. No idea about the HSLD applications but I would assume it would be better in those situations to have rails that are integral to the handguard, so there is virtually zero chance of failure. Should be just fine for competition use. HTH Seydou |
