Super light like the lightest carbon, but more conductive like aluminum
So, why do you choose a carbon hand guard? If it is for being light, well this one is nearly as light as you get. Is it for strength, this is probably just as strong but I've not tested. You want one that is cheap - you can't find lighter and cheaper than this! You want one that looks more black than grey carbon, and looks good on your gun, this is it! So why not 5 stars?
There are 2 negatives about this brand:
1) If you chose a carbon handguard to not feel so hot to your touch like a metal hand guard, this is not it. The true carbon hand guards made by Lancer, Faxon, BattleArms, etc. do not conduct heat as much to your hands. This one I fond to be no better than metal. These hand gaurds cost 4-5x more too!
2) The rail on top is mostly straight, but I found that they are not pure straight. If you are mounting something like a scope to part of the rail, it is probably not ideal. It bowes in the center. If you just want to mount a front sight, then no issue!

Pros:
- light, cheap, strong
Cons:
- conducts heat like metal, rail not 100% straight
Best Used for:
- cheap and light builds
Would recommend: Yes

? carbon fiber
Nice hand guard for the price. I question the Carbon Fiber construction, as it appears to be simple polymer/plastic injection (has clear injection tab marks) and can be easily deflected with hand squeezing. Not super rigid. No visible carbon fiber anywhere. I haven't cut it into sections to verify. Like I said, nice hand guard. I would have given it 5 stars if it was advertised as Polymer, but when you buy carbon fiber, you expect carbon fiber.
Pros:
- Good design, lightweight
Cons:
- not as advertised
Would recommend: No
