Design flaws - Lancer Systems LCH7 Octagon Carbon Fiber Handguards

Julio's Review of Lancer Systems LCH7 Octagon Carbon Fiber Handguards
The weakness of the handguard is the mounting of the handguard. The handguard is bolted to the mount. However, this only works if the handguard is a very tight fit to the mount. Return the handguard if it is oversized for the mount, or tighten the bottom bolts to mate the bottom handguard surface to the mount surface. Then, tighten the top bolts.
If the handguard is made correctly, it should be solid.
The Precision Reflex Gen III handguard or the JP Enterprises Mark III handguard have superior mounting methods. The Precision Reflex handguard is carbon fiber. It has a threaded cap at the end of the carbon fiber that threads on to the mount.
Pros:
Carbon fiber is tough
Much reduced flex compared to aluminum handguards
Cons:
Mounting method doesn't work well if parts are out of spec
Best Used for:
Minimizing weight
Reducing flex
Would Recommend:
Yes
