I installed this handguard on a SDS Imports Cheetah 12. It needed a small amount of material removed from where the handguard came in contact with the mounting screw lug on the rifle. Other than that, it fit like a glove. Very solid. I originally had a "vented slot" style handguard from Carolina Shooting Supply installed on this build, that cost twice the price of this one. Half way through my first range trip, I attempted to adjust my gas, only to relize that I had to remove my handguard to get a good purchase on the gas adjustment knob. Fouling had entered the gas port and made turning the knob difficult and the design of the "vented slot" handguard, with the handguard running along side of the adjustment knob, made it very difficult to get a good purchase on the knob for adjustment. The design of the UTG handguard makes this problem a non issue. I'm very happy with this handguard.
Pros:
- Price
- Solid well built
- mulitple optic mounting options
Would recommend: Yes

I bought this handguard for my LYNX 12 (Saiga 12 clone). I’m very happy with the results. The handguard fits perfectly and is very solidly secured to the shotgun. The finish looks like that of a much more expensive product. Nicely anodized. I love the fact you can still see the factory iron sights through the top rail. That saves me from having to purchase a BUIS. If I had to find a complaint it would be the supplied handguard screw. It’s a standard slot screw which I promptly marred during installation. I picked up a hex head button screw (I believe M5) for $.58 and it looks much better. I also noticed the original screw was very loose after 40 rounds. I added some removable thread locker. Due to the design of this handguard I believe the original factory screw might not even be necessary. Another positive point about this handguard is the detention pin for the adjustable gas block is much more exposed making adjustments easier. You can’t beat the price on this handguard. I’m happy.
Cons:
- Supplied slot screw should be a hex screw
Would recommend: Yes

This rail is easy to install and is heavy enough to feel the difference between the stock forend, but seems pretty guaranteed not to get damaged from typical field conditions.
Pros: Solid, easy to mount
Cons: A little heavy
Would recommend: Yes

This is another great quad rail from UTG! It only took about five minutes to install and fits great. This mount allows co-witness of iron sights. Includes 2 rail lengths for the top rail and all hardware and tools.
Pros: all
Cons: none
Would recommend: Yes
