Quoted: My guess this thing is heavy, but it is flat on the bottom and has limited attachment points. Two out of three ain't bad.

Correctamundo!
I had the shorty 7inch long version. Added unacceptable weight to an already front-heavy rifle.
I milled the round corners down flat, which gave me a six-sided handguard, and drilled numerous 5/8 dia lightening holes in the smaller flats to shave more weight and increase cooling.
turned out really nice, unique even. My hand fit perfectly around it in a very comfortable grip. Gave me the flat bottom for railed accessories, and a narrow top for a co-witnessed tacpoint, laser and light.
I was trying to keep a decked-out carbine as compact as possible.
I paid $40 for used but good condition. Never seen those selling new for that little money.
