Reviews & Ratings for Brigand Arms BLADE M-Lock Handguard — 7 reviews — Page 1

Bad QC all the way around. Did not come with the barrel nut. I had to RMA to get one. Then after installing the rail it was off center by about 1/4 inch. Not sure if it's the barrel nut or the rail its self. Very fine thread on the outside of the barrel nut that could be off. It also could be the rail where it's JV welded into the end cap or, the thread in the end cap.

Extremely light and rigid. Worth the cost if you're looking to save weight. I was worried it would be awkward to hold due to the webbed design, but that's not the case at all. Feels nice to hold and has virtually no flex at all when squeezed.

Great product very light weight and durable use it in my three gun match can definitely tell the difference.the grip in your hand feels secure it's not slippery. Fun to use And the carbon fibers strong

So besides this thing being stupid lightweight it is surprisingly great in the following ways. 1) Super rigid braids to the point where you can't squeeze and feel the it cave in like some aluminum lightweight rails. 2) Easy to attach rail segments to. 3) Doesn't heat up at all! I mag dumped 3 mags of wolf polyformance and then 1 mag of some Winchester pdx defensive ammo after using 3 mags of slow but consistent fire of tulammo to tune gas block and sight in an rds. After the fun dumps the hand guard itself was the ambient air temperature. I could DC feel the heat radiating off barrel, block, and the gas tube but it wasn't even uncomfortable. I will say the barrel nut and jam nut did heat up but wasn't burning me. All of this was using a pencil barrel so the heat was as bad as it could've possibly been. This should've been a huge selling point for them but they seemed to have missed this for whatever reason. I did have to contact them for a replacement right after getting I TV from usps because the braids were twisted and it annoyed me, it wouldn't have been a deal breaker with the edge model. Customer service was awesome and the issue was resolved within the week I shipped it back to them. I guess it goes without saying that, yes I like the handguard. Well worth the money and I will continue to buy their handguards.

I purchased the 12" length Brigand blade handguard for an ATI Omni Hybrid AR-15 .410ga Shotgun. With its stainless Gunkote barrel, this handguard provided the look, the function (it is super durable), and the color contrast (black over silver) I was looking for. Once you determine this is the right handguard for your use, then the price becomes secondary. The Brigand handguard was easy to install, and the strength of the handguard is second to none. I was also surprised at how comfortable the handguard is to grasp. With the optional rail attachment, it was easy to install a Crimson Trace laser to the handguard. Great form, great function, and a great look. This is a unique one-of-a-kind handguard, and well worth the investment!
