I found that setup to be too large for my hands. Do they fit you?

It definitely made it big, but with the AFG it seems to be fine, since my hand only touches the handguard on the left side, with my thumb on the top rail. I will shoot it this weekend to test.  I got the Midwest FF cheese-grater to replace a round handguard that was too hot to touch in summer shoots.  Plus, it's a lighter handguard (11.9 oz. vs. 14.5 oz.)  The rifle seems to balance better, but the test will be during a match.  I may yank the covers off the top rail.
I considered a Hogue, but not having any attachment points wasn't ideal, and they have no ventilation whatsoever.  Not ideal for rapid-fire matches.



This is the third Midwest handguard I've gotten, and I like their products.

I voted ghey but only because the colors look hideous mixed up like that IMO.  I love XTMs though...and pie.

I'm thinking of replacing the FDE panels with more Foliage panels.  You know, lighten it up a bit.  It'll be FABulous!

get some rit dye and make the panels whatever colors you want...  they're inexpensive if you don't like the color you change them to, and they come right off.

I've been around here long enough to have built up an immunity to pretty much anything anyone might say - except the penguin, whose constant squawking gets on my nerves sometimes...

Get both





I like the index clips where my hand sits. Thinner, and more comfortable.

I love the XTM panels. They are my favorite rail cover on the market. But I think using multiple colors like this make it look too much like a failed fashion statement. Function over fashion. Nothing wrong with choosing a color other than black, just find one and stick with it. Unfortunately, that puts my vote on Ghey.
