Send me a PM with your name, address, phone number and email so I can contact you about the shipping details.
I just need true feedback about the hand guard. What's missing, what's good, what's bad, what should be added or taken away.
The quality is better than you will find anywhere for any AR

I'm guessing no one in UK will be able to do the trials so I await the results eagerly.

I have been thinking about installing a free float handguard on mine to gain some more area, it needs to be longer, i am thinking 13".

Perhaps what you really need is an Englishman's review and appraisal. I would be more than happy to test run the new (straight out of my dreams) handguard.

The very fact that you have included the Midwest Industries G3 'hole' under the rail design but also the SLR's take on the Hybrid top rail, combines two of the best looking designs into one made for the 15-22 package, you sir are a god amongst men.

I've already discussed with you on FB about more go lighter holes or Mlok slots on the 12.5 inch version....other than that it looks perfect.

I'll await my test package in the post but seriously as soon as the 12.5 with the extra holes is available you got a customer here. Seeing as it doesn't fit an AR...it shouldn't fit an ITAR.

Unfortunately, your pm box is too full to accept more messages. Please accept me in your trial.

I'll do it!

Threw my name in the hat.

I voted for Keymod, mainly because I have quite a bit of it and prefer it over Mlok.

The poll wouldn't also allow me to vote for a non-rotating QD socket, but that would be nice, also.

Thanks everyone. We have plenty of testers now.
Please be patient in getting your test schedule.
Lengths will be 10" 12.5" and 15"
No modification needed to the upper.
3 push button QD non-rotating sockets at the front

We will have the AR-15 version very soon

I bought a 15" keymod and love it! Might buy a new 15-22 just to get the 15" mlok when available

Can you post some pictures of the piece?

I'm very interested in a pistol length for a 4.5" barrel. If a custom one is available, I'll pay.

^^^ I can look at your gun and tell you are serious

Here is the latest version that is on a super sale Tomorrow 11-27-2017
They will ship no later than the second week of December. The low price is an apology because of the wait.
