Just right for my build - TRYBE Defense AR-15 Extra Lightweight M-LOK Handguard w/ Cut Away Rail

I've built several ARs and this last one was just as fun to build as the first. This Trybe handguard is a pretty good low cost option that will offer you a decent quality very light rail to work with almost any barrel you may choose. I easily fit an adjustable low profile gas block (Aero Precision) inside it. I like the fact that the Picatinny rail is a cut-away, leaving out the unnecessary extra weight the center rail would entail. The barrel nut is strong and gave me no trouble with fitting the barrel to the receiver. I have seen other comments that addressed a possible need to secure the guard to the barrel nut a bit better by grooving where the fasteners should be and I agree with this. Also, positioning tabs for fitting the guard to the receiver would be nice. But, for the price, you won't be disappointed with the install, you just have to take a bit more time being sure of your work. I buy black parts since I also paint the whole gun and the unit cleaned easily and took the paint just fine--looks great.

All in all, I do recommend this handguard unless you are willing to put out at least double the price to match it.
