Reviews & Ratings for Lancer Replacement Carbon-fiber Handguard for HK 416 — 1 review — Page 1

I got this rail from my wife as my birthday gift. I was going to use it for my HK416A5 14.5" clone build that I am doing. The packaging is a little flimsy from Lancer and there was some marks on the rail, which luckily came off and did not hurt the finish. The fit and finish is great and it feels very comfortable with the Phase5 M-Lok hand stop installed. The stock quad rail feels too big in my hands. I did run into an issue trying to fit the hand guard over my gas block, which is the 416 version with the sling loops on the side. Apparently, Lancer designed this hand guard to fit the SLIM LINE gas block alas MR556. I contacted Lancer and their only suggestion is to have a gunsmith machine off the loops and install the handguard. Not a very helpful suggestion. So now I'm waiting for an MR556 slim line gas block to become available in the US (they are out of stock currently) before I can install my Lancer handguard. Will report back once I have a chance to install it and use it. Meanwhile, it's just sitting in my safe looking pretty.
