This product is an absolute joy and beautifully crafted with no gaps; it is a bit of a Bear to get on, and make sure everything is seated properly.

Perfect fit two piece carbine drop in quad rail.

I purchased this to take the place of the plastic clam shell and I do not regret it. This was a snug fit on my Ruger ar5.56 with no slop or play. Tightened up nicely with the original barrel nut.

Good to go

Went in easy. Just heads up the magpul rail covers are hard to get on this for some reason. But eventually went.

AWESOME!

I have been a gunsmith for over 55 years and I have got to tell you, this company never disappoints in its quality and function of their products for the price. They have got better quality than some of the "high end" big dollar companies. I use a bunch of their products in my own builds, and recommend them to customers who are trying not to "break the bank" in their builds. Their kool factor is 5 star also.

Solid and Easy to Install

looks great couldn't be happier.

Great Handguard

Great handguard that installed on a Ballistic Advantage M4 Carbine barrel. Troy rail covers also work great. Definitely has less flex than the Magpul MOE handguard and just seems more robust.
