Just what i was looking for! - UTG Pro Super Slim M-LOK Forend for Ruger PC Carbine

This is an excellent addition to the Ruger PC Carbine. While the stock forend isn't bad, it leaves a lot to be desired in the way of adding accessories. I had tried another popular option made of carbon fiber with M-Lok slots that was longer, yet lighter than the stock forend. While that product was good, I didn't like that the M-Lok slots were fairly far away from the receiver of the firearm. Enter this product, which is perfect because it is so compact, but allows for an incredible 8 M-Lok attachment points. This is exactly what I wanted because I was able to add a vertical grip that was much closer to the receiver, which just feels more comfortable to me. I was also able to add quick attachment points for my sling, and even a light that I can flick on and off while holding the vertical grip. The fit and finish on this product is very impressive and it sits flush against the receiver and follows the receiver's shape quite nicely. It looks almost as if it was a factory-offered option. I have not had ocassion to use the optic mount because I already have a picatinny rail installed in place of my rear sight. Either way, the optics mount looks pretty solid and looks easy to install. Another thing to note is that this hand guard free-floats the barrel outside of where it physically bolts to the barrel. In other words, the forend obviously must touch the barrel at its mounting point, but where the barrel starts to taper, the hand guard does not touch the barrel. I was able to thread a dollar bill between the hand guard and the barrel. Overall, I am very impressed with this product and would highly recommend it.
