Pretty good way to upgrade a basic ar - UTG Pro AR15 Super Slim M-LOK 15in Drop-In Handguard

The UTG hand guard is good way to do away with the clamshell polymer pieces on a carbine length basic AR. You end up with a reasonably good aluminum hand guard (that all in feels like it weighs about the same as, or less than the polymer clamshell parts) that’s far more versatile.

I found that the finish, whatever it’s called, is better than expected. The product design and use of M-Lok sections are both useful and visually pleasing. The fit onto the rifle was a bit more troublesome than expected, but I jut pulled up my Poor-Man-Pants and made it work. Be patient and have a delta ring compression tool.
