I'm picking up my new upper today and it has the V-tac, Ill let you know what I think in a day or so.
ETA: Picked mine up, but have not shot with it yet. In person the barrel nut does not stand out as much as it goes in the photos, it provides a nice transition (to the eye and the hand) from the receiver to the handguard. The tube is a good size, enough to hold onto, but nothing requiring giant hands to grasp. The texturing is also "just about right" subtle, but there. All in all, I'm glad I picked it for my "SPRish" build. |

top upper: 16" WOA w/ mid gas. 12" VTac handguard
other upper: 14.5" CMMG w/ mid gas, 9" VTac I have been very happy w/ my Vtac handguards. Im currently working on another SBR upper using a 10.3" WOA bbl and a mid-length VTac handguard. The only drawback that i can see is; you have to use 'red' loctite to attach part of the handguard to the upper reciever.  more pics

Like mine too. I used blue Loc-Tite for the barrel nut on mine, and it hasn't budged since I put it on about a year ago.

The loctite is really just to keep the extension from moving during assembly. Some people don't even use any loctite at all and have no problems at all. Here's one pic of mine, just test fit so some screws are missing. THIS THREAD has more pix and an explanation of some mods to make it fit better. Note: The bipod was just on to make it easier to take some other pix. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b65/bushflyr/ARBuild/Gun2.jpg
