Pricey but nice! Wasn't looking for a shooter handguard, there were many that would work. But those one stands out.

The total length is actually 6 inches as advertised and it locks down on the barrel nut really well. Looks great as well. No blemishes.
Pros:
- Looks great
- well made
- lite weight
Would recommend: Yes

This is a high quantity product that is just as advertised. I have 3 of these in different lengths and the are as robust as anything on the market, but more reasonably priced through Optics Planet.
Get 1, 2 or 3 of your own, you won't regret it �

I recently picked up a 6" version but have an 11.5" and 10.5" as well and have these on 9mm PCC builds and 5.56 and 300BO builds. These are heavy duty built and have the anti-rotation built in. They come in almost every length you need and come with a section of m-lok picatinny for mounting bi-pods or flashlights. I prefer these over the BCM as the length is more accurately represented in extending the handguard out to a muzzle device, even though BCM comes in a close second for favorite handguards. I like the lock up of the Aero handguards, but this is better priced and just as if not better than the R-One models. The barrel nut lock up is a "pin" plate that is sandwiched between the sides, and despite the simple design is fully secure. Midwest Industries has a good reputation for making quality parts so you can't go wrong buying one. Comes with crows-foot style wrench for barrel nut.
Pros:
- Comes in various lengths to fit most barrels lengths
- Built in Anti-rotation wings
- Durable QD socket
Cons:
- Limited color choices but that can be fixed with paint
Best Used for:
- Any AR15 based build including PCCs
- Have similar models for lever actions, AR-10s, AKs, Sig rifles, CZ Scorpion, and Benelli M4

I bought two of these and they are a cut above everything else available. Easy to install and feels great in your hand. Super lightweight and slim, great looking handguard. My only words of caution are to make sure your upper will accept a handguard with anti-rotation tabs.

Was looking for a short rail for a ar9 build...this fit the bill perfectly. It's well constructed in fit and finish. Really love the swivel mounts machined into the rail. The barrel nut mounts nicely and secure. Would recommend to anyone looking for mlok compatible rails
