United States
Every thing was as it should be, went on like normal. Seems like these are rebranded Midwest Industries hand guards given the symbol near the rear of it.
USGreat quality handguard
So far so good. Haven’t installed yet, was waiting on a barrel nut wrench — beware that this does not include one. I’m not upset about it…just means the value prop isn’t as good. Anyway, zero blemishes, feels good in hand. Should install this weekend.
