If you aren't mounting ir lasers it's a great budget option. - Magpul Industries SL Hanguards

I don't own night vision so I have no need for top slots or rails. UTG or Midwest industries is you go to if that's the case. No, for me this was a great option for mounting a light and AFG + handstop. There's a small hand stop integrated, but I wanted something more substantial. This is a budget friendly and light weight hand guard that gets the job done when not in the search of IR laser mounting surfaces. There is the ever so minimal wiggle if you really force it so no lasers will not stay zeroed on this hand guard, BUT you really have to force it and it's completely unnoticable to the shooter otherwise. If you're not mounting lasers this is the option for you. UTG pro, and Midwest industries cost more and are heavier.
