So out of the box the build quality is second to none. It looks great, feels great, and once it is attached, it is rock solid. Now the bad, it was not an east install. It was not bad, but for anyone that doesn't have 2 hrs test and fit it, I would steer clear. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. It just was a lot of work with sanding the rear locking block to get it to fit correctly.
I bought this to go on my 24in 224 valkyrie build. It was the longest forend I could find that was still super lightweight. At 17.5in it weighs less then some 10in forends that I own. It goes on with no trouble. The barrel nut gives you enough room to get your gas tube in without having to struggle with clocking it. Uses 3 bolts to attach to the barrel nut so it feels very sturdy. Over all very happy with the purchase!
So the first issue was the lack of the barrel nut wrench it isn't a huge deal but oh well. So once you find the correct wrench you finally get to the install and timing process. I tried every combination of shims they send and nothing would even get it close... So I just lined it up so I could test fit the gas tube. That would not clear the barrel nut even if I could time it correctly. So after a little love from file I got it all to fit correctly and torqued to spec. The handguard looks great and is great quality but the barrel nut is the worst design I have seen... I couldn't in good faith recommend this to anyone..
