Reviews & Ratings for Strike Industries Grildlok LITE AR-15 M-LOK Handguard Assembly — 27 reviews — Page 1

For those who want the sleek foregrip that wraps a suppressor or oppressor on a 7.5” pistol this foregrip is really nice and ergonomic. The quick release is awesome for service and cleaning. Once you get the barrel nut clocked properly it’s smooth sailing.

The Handguard is fine, it's a handguard. I've purchased many strike industry items over the years and their stuff is good quality, fit and finish. But it's very frustrating they don't include installation instructions. Just print something simple. I don't want to watch several YouTube videos to learn how to properly install and use a handguard.

Excellent hand rail, works well and very light plus durability, trusted brand strike industries

This grid lock is everything and more I love my purchase

Great for adjustable gas blocks to tune on the go.
Slim mlok hanguard . Aesthetically pleasing, plenty of room for all your mlok accessories. And fits most suppressors with the 1.57 inside diameter.

I have two of these handguards, an 11” & 15”. Purchased the 15” first and liked it so much I put one on my other AR. I love the look, style, and ergonomics. Has plenty of mlok space as it is all the way around in the 1,3,5,6,7,9, & 11 o’clock positions. It is a quick detach if that’s something you’re looking for as well. The BUIS is practically useless in my opinion as it is very thin and i would hate to have to rely on it, but it is there. I have teamed this up with SI muzzle devices and run the Oppressor blast shield. The oppressor will fit inside for a tucked in look, but the Oppressor Universal will not. All in all I’m extremely happy with it and do recommend this product

Aesthetically this handguard looks very nice on my pistol build. Functionality it has plenty of room for any attachments that you would want to put on pretty light for its size. I bought the 11 and a half inch hand guard it was actually lighter than the nine inch hand guard that I previously had on it. When aiming hand guards easy on the hands no rough edges lines up pretty well with the existing Picatinny rail. The reason for four stars is that I couldn't seat the handguard totally against the upper and lower receiver because it made contact with the lower receiver where the take down pin is causing a slight binding when taking the upper off the lower but a 16th of an inch off from being flush and no contact or affect of detaching the upper from the lower.

This fits my build perfectly and looks so sick! The color is more of a matte grey/black than it is black though.

The barrel nut's threading is too long/deep that the barrel nut would grind against upper receivers before it would engage with the barrel's barrel extension. I have tried two different brands of upper receivers and the result IS THE SAME, the barrel nut would grind against my upper receivers, and in one scenario, it even grind against my ejection port rod. It is not a well designed product, or maybe it is the poor quality control of the barrel nut.

I really like SI. Their products have never failed me until now. The barrel nut is un-timeable. Shims, no shims, it doesn’t matter. Now let’s just get it out of the way that I use shims between the handguard and barrel. But it’s to the mere 1/4” that the barrel nut won’t line up with the gas tube channel. I spent a week emailing SI about the issue and requesting to get their prior barrel nut design with the divots or channels but they said they discontinued that design. Their response in the current problem I was having was to cut a channel of my own with a dremel tool. Gotta say that’s not the way I build my machines but it did work. Looks great. Very versatile and the quick release design is something that actually sold me to buy it in the first place. I also like the integrated front iron sight but the mere fact I had to fabricate my own means to getting it to work blew me away. So the stars I give is for the quality, anodizing and design but I left the rest blank for bad mounting design.
