Great so far

Im no internet ex special forces or youtube world class armourer, with only having put together and shot a few dozen AR rifles/pistols combined, my experience for comparison is limited. I also am a fan of value minded spending. This item is exactly 10" in length. The anodizing is a nice black and not a grayish-black. The color is uniform throughout. I did not weigh it prior to install. The barrel nut weighs 3.49 OZ. The identical 15" handguard from Radical weighs 10.55 OZ. My best guess is this one is around 7 OZ. All the machining is smooth. Theres no rough edges. The barrel nut does not require timing for the gas tube. Flats on the barrel nut measures 30mm. In addition to the two hex heads screws that clamp the hand guard on, there is also a type of hex head set screw on the bottom that goes into a groove around the barrel nut helping keep it in place. Between the 10" and 15" Radical PA exclusive hand guards on 2 different firearms, no complaints except no qd for a sling.
