Asal 10.5 handgaurd
My entire experience was spot on. Handgaurd came in fast from AR15DISCOUNT.CM, and NBS did their thing. So much value for so little money . No complaints at all.
USGood handguard, but no barrel nut wrench
Not much to say about it, it's a handguard. The barrel nut is pretty big and a little on the heavy side. The lockup is good, the anti rotation tabs fit tight, the attachment method is nice and requires no timing. Would've liked to see helicoils for the screws on the handguard, but that's a lot at this price point. The qd spot is nice, but a little strange positioning. Overall really good, but it didn't have a barrel nut wrench which was disappointing.
