John's Review of Manticore Arms Transformer Rail Gen II For AR-15
I ran into Manticore arms when I bought my .50 Beowulf. I didn't realize how amazing this hand guard was until I was talking to my gun seller about it. He was awed about how the hand guard simplified M-loks and key mod usage. He mentioned to me how it can be complicated to add things to both M-lok and key mods. This hand guard makes it easier to remove the panels and add what you want to the rails. Got a mixture of stuff that is M-lok and key mod? Your hand guard can have the best of both worlds. If you got nothing to add to the panel then you can just add grips. I personally like the frag panel, but that brings me to my next point. The panels that come with this are snake pattern grip. The picture made the panels look like they had no grip so i bought some frag panels. (I later zoomed in on the photo and saw the snake pattern.) I actually ended up not using the frag panel as I liked the look of the snake pattern. Frag panel has a better grip in my opinion, but the snake panel is good enough to handle. From me using this hand guard on my Beowulf, I wanted this on my other AR-15. I almost bought a whole new upper from Alexander Arms, but later found this. I got it installed on my AR now (wish I could show pictures) and shot it yesterday. Not disappointed at all. Last thing I want to mention is how it's slim. My last hand guard was too much for my mothers small hands, so when I got her an AR, I got one with Manticore's hand guard. My mother says she able to handle her AR nicely. Something to consider if you have small hands. Overall, I like having options with what I can add to my rifle and this gives you that. I will suggest this to all my friends.
Pros:
slim
A lot for the money
A lot of options and features
Cons:
None
Would Recommend:
Yes
