I'm very happy with this purchase. Install was easy, just wish I knew you needed a proprietary barrel nut wrench when I purchased this. Great quality from Geissele as always.
Would recommend: Yes

I really like the MK16 Rail for a number of reasons. It's very lightweight and comfortable in the hand. The machining is very good, as expected from Geissele. The more recent anodizing is a golden brown if anyone cares about that. I also like the upgraded Steel QD Mount and how they now retain the two castle nut screws. The rail is super solid and holds zero.
Pros:
- Lightweight
- Quality
- Machining is excellent
- Anodizing is good
- solid mounting
Would recommend: Yes

Best hand guard Ive have owned. The color is so much nicer in person. I should have bought two.

I have a clone correct URGI (14.5" Barrel + 13.5" MK16 Rail); however, I recently purchased a Geissele Chrome Lined "Button" Barrel (5.56) that is 16.25" long. This barrel has a proprietary gas tube somewhere between a Mid-Length and a Rifle Length Gas System. Anyway, I decided to get the 15" MK16 Rail (DDC) because they're lighter weight and very comfortable. Really well made product but you doo pay for it. Never had any complaints with Geissele Products
Pros:
- light weight
- Strong
- Looks cool
Would recommend: Yes

I couldn’t be happier. You won’t be able to find a better hand guard for the price. Perfection.
Pros:
- easy to install
- 2 QD points
- Full rail
- 7 sided mlok
Would recommend: Yes

I have been Jenn for this one for at least six months. Then I saw at a price I could not pass up. OpticsPlanet did not fail to deliver! Received in two days and a sweet price. I would highly recommend this hand guard to anyone.

Amazing handguard. Geissele's handguard is in use by USASOC, and the quality shows! It's superb and stiff, but still being relatively lightweight. I think next time I'd go with the MK-14 but that's a personal choice based purely on weight alone. Email with Geissele's own design staff, confirmed that the slight weight (and I mean ounces!) difference is due to added stiffeners in the guard's sidewalls. Either way you CANNOT go wrong with this purchase, and especially at this price! Beat's the MFSRP by about 10-15%.

Had been eyeing this for quite some time. Top-tier product from a top-tier manufacturer. And I couldn’t pass up the price! Optics planet delivered it in two days when it was promised in four. So half the time. And again could not beat the price!

This is Geissele quality
Excellent anodizing, with even colors in FDE
The colors vary, but they vary from chocolate FDE to clear/light FDE
Rail is definitely well polished and looks great, but mine had some metal shavings around small screws on the tab, near the inner part of the rail. That's my only objective complaint.

Geiselle has always made solid products. I replaced an Aero Precision handguard with the mk16 and its night and day a superior handguard. Solid lockup with the upper reciever. The MK16 is ridgid and accepts whatever accessories you want. I've got a bcm vertical grip and modlight okw with an arisaka inline scout mount and it all fit and functions great.
Pros:
- cost
- High quality
- Solid lockup
Cons:
- Barrel nut wrench not included
Would recommend: Yes
