I got this to put on my ar pistol with a mil-spec upper, I put it on and there was enough play that it wouldn't hold zero with the set screw all the way tightened.
I took it off and tried to reach out to SI, after a week with no reply to my request for a solution(Yes, I checked my spam folder.), I carefully took the base apart and turned the pinned screw a half turn, then put it back together, now it works perfectly.
It is a good base, and solid construction.
[My fix, turn the set screw out, there is a spring and detent ball, so be mindful and recommend the use of a magnet to catch it, then take the lever arm pin out, turn the cross bar screw, then put it back together in the order, you took it apart. This probably voids the warranty so do so at your own risk.]

I got the charging handle to finish off my Aero build, the cantilever scope mount made the standard charging handle a pain to use and hard to pull back, this one gives me plenty of clearance and makes it easier to operate the action.
The only complaint that I have is DHL or USPS crushed the package, thankfully not damaging the changing handle, the bag it came in looked like it went through a machine and the product box was half mangled.

I got one originally to use on my 22" barreled ar, because it was hard to fit in a bag or case, it worked well other than getting stuck once or twice before the tabs the hold the take down pin holes wore out and then didn't stay on the upper anymore,I ended up modifying it with some screws and rubber bands to hold it on while in transport, but it works well keeping the bcg clear of debris and in place while traveling to and from the gun range, over all a good product, just recommend some revisions to how its held in place.
As a side note, I can turn the screws and effectively lock the cover to the upper.

I got it because it was a good price, the lever to adjust the length broke as I was trying to pack it up to go to the range and I had to cut it off... if it hadn't broken it's a nice design. I was going to use it for my ultralight blackout, but after this failure I'd say its better suited for airsoft.

I got this because I thought it looked good for the price, but I ran into a fitment issue, if you don't have a standard shaped upper you are going to have fitment issues, I have the Nordic Components upper that is a rounder teardrop shape. its meant for mil-spec, those tabs on the back end leave a pencil width gap.

I used this one for a while on my ar, it worked well till it got clipped as I turned a corner, the aluminum at the m-lok point twisted and peeled off. might work best for a light application.
it is a nice design, I suggest maybe a little more meat to the part that joins the m-lok to the handguard

I have had my hand guard for a while,I used it on my Ar-Pistol so I could index where I needed my hand to not get flash burned or injured, my fifth time to the range, the guard split up the middle.
I don't know why, I only snugged it down because its rounded and the bottom of my hand guard is flat.
over all not disappointed, it worked fine till it split but I am going to look for a metal one.
