Jackal's Review of Brigand Arms ATLAS M-Lock Handguard

I keep trying to create a fist around it to see if it will give, but nope, this thing is super sturdy. Its also nice to have the options of flip-up sights on it. Make sure to run something across it first to get rid of all the carbon fiber splinters to avoid them in your hands. Heard a previous reviewer and followed their recommendation. After that you could easily grip this bare handed or, as I normally do, with gloves. I added a tiny handstop on the bottom row to avoid any slippage. Now it just in NFA jail waiting on my SBR tax stamp. The barrel is a 10" which fits it perfectly. I used some aluminum black to fix the scratches I put in during installation which is somewhat unavoidable, but I just used an adjustable 3/4" to 2" cheap spanner wrench from Amazon, but to each their own. Anyways, the aluminum black did its job and you cant even tell it was scratched during install. This is definitely a great answer to how do I save weight on a build while maintaining strength.
Pros:
  • Lightweight, sturdy, options
Cons:
  • initial splinters, installation
Best Used for:
  • SBRs or AR pistols
Would Recommend: Yes

About Jackal from TX, United States

I love building ANYTHING, from chemical research, compter engineering, electrical engineering, all forms of audio, and even microcode. Does it cost more to custom build? For the most part yes, but that is what makes it yours. You know every part, its strengths and hopefully no weaknesses. Its alot like car work. I hamdle ALL maintenance on mine as well as my wifes vehicle. When someone else does it its not the same. They normally dont check every little detail like I do, since it is MINE. Ive seen too many almost catistrophic yet tiny mistakes made service departments. I believe this to be true of prebuilt ARs as well. If someone all day builds the same gun over and over again, eventually something may be overlooked. Besides they are building a gun for anyone. Not just for you. I enjoy having to show my friends how to use my gun vs their prebuilt AR.
