Tacticlebuffoonery's Review of Jacob Grey Firearms Viking Ultralight Carbon Fiber Handguard

This handguard will 100% fit aero precision enhanced upper barrel nut on the AR15 upper (not the 308 upper) I know because I have one and I tried it. The cuts in the HG are super sharp so it feels kinda rough’ I lightly sanded the cut edges with 300 grit and it feels way better. It’s not as light as the description says it is or as light as they say in the Q&A. I have the 15” AR 308 and it weighs exactly 6oz with the barrel nut and screws. I talked to guy who designed these handguards ( Resurgent arms) and he told me the Ar-15 & the AR 308 are exactly the same except the barrel nut’ so it will work as is with the barrel nut it comes with on a 308 or on the aero AR-15 enhanced upper or the barrel nut that comes with the larger diameter aero AR-15 handguards. Im putting mine on a super lightweight AR-308 that should come in @ 4lbs 5oz. I rate it at 4 stars since its not as light as advertised and the cuts feel rough. If you’re not building super lightweight than its not worth $300 unless you only care about the weather resistance’ it doesn’t get hot during rapid fire or cold if you’re hunting in the snow. I have other carbon fiber handguards on other builds so I have experience with them. Its also super rigid and doesn’t flex like aluminum does.
Pros:
  • Super light weight
  • Doesnt get hot or cold
Cons:
  • Not as light as advertised
  • Cuts feel rough
Best Used for:
  • Lightweight builds where money is no object
Would Recommend: Yes
