After owning 15” handguards with full length Arca rails on a 16” barrel I’ve realized a 13-14” Handguard saves a little weight and doesn’t reduce the usage of my Arca rails. Also if your running mid length gas it makes it easier to reach the gas block to adjust without removing the handguard

It is a middling product. The anti-rotation tabs didn’t fit around the basic aeroprecision upper I have. It didn’t come with a tool for torque-ing the barrel nut and the magpul armorer’s wrench doesn’t fit. I believe the install videos state the type of wrench adapter for your torque wrench you’ll need, I just used an adjustable wrench and eye-balled the torque. One of the mounting screws (there’s two) stripped while I was installing it, I hadn’t even begun to torque it. But, none of this is something to be upset about when I paid less than $50 for it. This is for a simple/budget ar-22 build so it’ll work for my needs.

This is an an excellent hand guard that fit perfectly and looks great ! I really dont see where all the bad reviews are coming from, I suspect its from people that installed it improperly, its not rocket science!

I've purchased and installed 3 of the 15" length hand guards. They work great. The barrel nut is shipped inside the guard with the install tool and bolts. Installation was easy and the fit it great. Not needing to time the barrel nut is a plus. The bolts pass right thru grooves in the barrel.nut and are secured by square nuts in the recess of the other side of guard. I did have threads strip in one of the square nuts, but for a few pennies I found one at the local hardware store. No big deal. They look great and don't weigh a ton.
Pros:
- Easy to install
- light
- Look great
- GREAT PRICE!
- Take a beating
Best Used for:
- not burning your hand
- Holding your rifle
Would recommend: Yes

I had to grind off the anti-rotation tabs to get it to fit my upper receiver... Then of course had to paint to grinded down part black. That being said, its light, seems sturdy and is well priced for what your getting.

I recently purchased this AIM Sports handguard in a 10 inch length for an AR build. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and finish of this product for the price. The full length top rail and multitude of M-Lok slots were a bonus, this is an excellent handguard for the price.

I gave it a shot based on reviews. The Handguard itself looks nice but... The barrel nut threads were so poorly cut that it would not thread onto my upper! I ran my finger over the threads and actually cut my finger. This thing is a piece of CR@P! Last time I ever try anything from AIM Sports.

Not sure what all the fuss is about this handguard was super easy to install for this BEGINNER. Maybe I didn't overthink this project everything from the tear down to adding the Aim sports .750 minimalist gas block to finishing it off with a 13.5'' handguard went smooth as silk. Zero alignment problems looks and feels fantastic. You can't beat the price either for the quality you get with this one.
Pros:
- Super easy to install looks and feels great
Would recommend: Yes
