Horrible Hardware & Tools

Pros: Handguard itself is lightweight, comfortable to hold, and pretty strong. Cons: There a a few machining burs that they did not remove. Some fitment require when going onto the upper receiver. Absolutely horrible quality barrel nut and mounting tool. Barrel nut was deformed even before the gunsmith hit the torque spec, and the mounting tool provided basically disintegrated from it being made of poor quality steel.
