Reviews & Ratings for Guntec USA AR-15 Gen 2 AIR-LOK Series M-LOK Compression Free Floating Handguard w/Monolithic Top Rail — 1 review — Page 1

The issue is that they're too cheap and / or lazy to manufacture appropriate barrel nuts for the two different styles of free float HGs they make. There's literally no reason for the "clamp on" HG to use ...
