M4/ar15 competition series free float handguard w/ vents - Trinity Force M4/AR15 Competition Series Free Float Handguard w/ Vents

I bought this hand guard because I wanted to go get rid of the fixed front sight on the AR and wanted a longer reach for greater stability. This guard did exactly what I wanted. It is easy to install provided you know how and have the tools to remove the old front sight and the barrel. This applies to any fore grip.
This handguard has slots for venting to aid in cooling, but may be used in mounting accessory rails but care must be taken to get proper alignment for the slots. Only thing I would like to have seen is some sort of locking screws for the hand guard to prevent from coming loose. I use a drop of Blue Loctite and so far so good. So far I have only shot a couple hundred rounds through the rifle since the change on the hand guard and it has not come loose yet. I like the feel of the unit in the hand and the added reach. The guard does get a little warm but not hot, I had no issues with it in that score. My only kicker is no locking screws, but keep in mind the price was right and to get more slots and lock screws you have to pay twice the price.
