MI 2-piece are tight enough that they can be difficult for some people to install. Took me a few attempts, but they went right on. All it takes is a little patience to get them alligned properly and in place. Mine does not rattle either. The top rail seems to be on the same plane as on the reciever rail, and the finish on them matches the the rifle near perfectly. The T-markings are a nice detail as well. They are great overall, and I can recommend them to anyone with confidence.
Now, I really suck cuz I dont have a way of posting a pic right now.

I just bought the MI 2 piece hand guards. Took 2 days to deliver. I got the 17X for my carbine. I figured if I was going rails I might as well get the extra length with them. They're open on the bottom to accomodate the bayo lug and sling swivel. They're tighter than a virgin and sturdy as hell. I would recommend the hard guard removal tool or a friend for the adventure of installing them.

Cool, so far so good. Yeah, i was leaning towards the MI because from what i can see on the pics, they look better finished, have Tmarks and full rails instead of those weird rails on the YHM. Not saying that the rails on the YHM won't get the job done, i just like the ones on the MI better. Anyone else chime in a post some kickass pix please.

I had a set of the YHM rifle length rails on my dissy. I liked them. But when I saw the design "imporvements" on the MI, I sold the YHM. Now I'm waiting on the rifle length MI model to come out. I'll let you know when they get here.
both are good, but I prefere the way MI built the rails. |

I've used both. The MI are much better, tighter, better machine work and finish. The numbered rails are a plus. Overall a higher quality piece. Paul at Bravo Company has them on sale right now for $129.00

The MIs are excellent. No play at all, and excellently manufactured. I got the extended 17X, and find them to be excellent.
My only gripe is that with the 17Xs, the bottom front section isn't there, but they're still better than the carbine-lengths for my task. I know you've seen the pic in chat before, but:

Rock solid, well-made. I couldnt ask for anything more out of them.
I'd buy MI again if I had another project that called for them. - BG |
