breid1970 327 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 What do you guys think of this particular hand guard? Not expensive at all and I could dump my giant cumbersome metal quad rail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nsnate02 32 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I personally like the feel and function. Not keen on the looks. I've been going with the K-Var RPK style handguard. Very similar but slimmer and better looking IMO. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sjgusmc21 850 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Didn't like it. Felt bulky to me and uncomfortable. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

breid1970 327 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Thats a good looking set of hand guards. How much did they set you back? The Magpul look decent as well. And are pretty affordable. I think they might look pretty good with the Arch Angel Opfor stock. Which I might add is pretty reasonable as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
6500rpm 670 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 I bought a Tapco Galil HG years ago and sent it back. If they haven't changed it, I found it to be the most uncomfortable pos I've ever held. The one I'm talking about had some funky grate cover across the top. The K-VAR pictured above isn't bad and feels well made (I have it on one of my S12's). With a bit of work to the rear HG retainer, you can make a real Galil HG fit the 12 and is hands down one of the nicer feeling of shorter handguards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breid1970 327 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 I dont think they have changed it since you last tried it sadly. I have gone the minimalist route and am presently trying to lighten my M10. Once I ditch the UTG metal quad rail I will dump the tapco stock and swap it out with the Arch Angel. I don't know nearly enough about ATI stocks to even consider them at this point and Fab Def is out of my price range. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
netpackrat 566 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 I had a Tapco Galil handguard on a rifle once and I hated it. I found it to be very uncomfortable to use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
