Seems very durable and it looks amazing! Amazing handrail weighs 3 oz 4 oz with the barrel nut on. One thing I would keep in mind when installing. The resin by the barrel nut is protruding and scraping your gas tub where it goes into the AR. It’s not the threads. I wish the company would have shaved it down for easy installation. Looks amazing and is extremely light.
Pros:
- light weight
- beautiful
- Great grip
- Well crafted
Cons:
- Resin by barrel nut is too thick scrapes gas tube
Would recommend: Yes

It is a weird gray color. It's not black like it is advertised to be. If I knew it was gray I would have picked another handguard that is black. I decided to keep it only because shipping is taking a long time around the holidays, but I'm not happy with it
Cons:
- Too expensive and false advertising
Would recommend: No

Great handguard, stiff and light. Perfect for shooting sticks due to the consistent round profile and also warmer than aluminum for cold coyote hunting mornings. Quality is great. I’ve since ordered another for a different rifle. Pricey! But one of a kind

I love this product, at first you might worry because of it’s extremely light weight. Don’t! This thing is stout, holds up well to regular abuse, and I love the ability to place a rail basically anywhere you want and any angle.
Pros:
- light weight
- Quality
- Strong
- Versaitle configerations
Would recommend: Yes

The Brigand Arms carbon fiber handguard does what Brigand claims. It is incredibly light. So light in fact, that you would think the box is empty when it first ships! It is also extremely rigid. Installation is straight forward juust like any other free floating set up that uses a lock collar to secure it. Although I didn't use an adjustable gas block I can see where this handguard would come in handy since you can gain access to it pretty much all round. One thing to watch for though is if you plan to use a front sight you can't really get the correct height using this handguard. I planned on an optic only so it wasn't an issue for me.

Super fast shipping. It arrived in a few days and was very well packaged. Once i got it out and looked at it it looks better in person than in picture. It is super light and feels awesome. The carbon fiber has no sharp edges anywhere.
