There Ok……
I ordered these because I wanted another set of skinny hand guards. They are six hole and shiny, definitely not M4 ovals. Doublestar brand is a smaller profile IMO and these are the same as any Del-Ton’s in my parts box however they lack the lock pin relationship my Del-Tons have. Overall not bad however not quite what was advertised I suppose.
