Great, quality, light-weight product, if somewhat lacking for attachments. - Troy Alpha Rail Free Float Modular AR Handguard

Like most Troy products I've used, this hand guard is well made. It's light, fit and finish are excellent, and I saved about 10 ounces over the Troy Bravo hand-guard it replaced. Installation is fairly straight-forward using a standard AR barrel nut and 3 plates and bolts that tighten around it.

The hand guard texture is a little rough, which should be great for gloves or gripping in the rain. The attachment systems include 3 picatinny rail sections that attach in a manner similar to key-mod, but I think its Troy proprietary. Ultimately I wanted the hand guard to bring down weight, and offer a cleaner look than its replacement. It succeeds well at this, just realize if you want to attach a bunch of gear you will be somewhat limited compared to a keymod or m-lok set. Like any free-float hand guard there is a small amount of play at the very end, but its not more than other quality sets, and for me irons are just for backup purposes.

Optics Planet shipped the product fast, and gave me an excellent price. Highly recommended!
