Well made, looks way better than factory - Choate Tool Mini 14 Ventilated Handguard

This is a well made product that is much nicer than the disappointing factory guard (Model 580+). The polymer is thick, it snaps into place without tools, and it looks great. The fit was a bit tight at the ends, so I had to sand one end slightly and it dropped snugly into place. Note: It's obvious from the description photos, but it doesn't have the goofy looking slide guard hanging asymmetrically over one side. This exposes the slide, which looks nicer to me, but if you're one of those people that sticks your fingers into electric outlets and fans, this isn't for you (:-D)
