  1. OK, well that did not take too long. Machining aluminum is very easy. The handguard came out very good. There is no substantial loss in rigidity. While the modified handguard is more prone to flexing in my vise, I can not flex it with my hands at all. It remains very stiff and very strong. It has had probably 40% reduction in mass (sorry, I did not weigh it). Best of all, the grip is very comfortable. No pringles can effect. I think it mat be a keeper. Panabax I will post some images as soon as my post count gets to 5.
  2. I just received my KZ hanguard today. It is well constructed and as small as possible for a 4 rail system. However, I have already noticed that it feels MUCH more comfortable upside down. That is, the top, without the rail installed, approximates the size of the original handguards and is quite comfortable. I am considering milling off the back 3/4th of the bottom rail, so it only has about two inches of rail up front, and going with bare aluminum. For that matter, there is no reason why you could not cut off everything above the side rails and have two side rails, a shortened bootom rail and totally open in the top. You would still have the M4 rail on the receiver and it would save a lot of weight. How much stuff would you really hang of this premier scatter gun? A light, a laser, a red dot. Plenty of room for ALL that. The only concern I have is the bear metal aluminum handguard, but I think that may not be a major concern. I guess I could always dip the bottom in plasticoat, but I thing the bare aluminum might not be a bad option. Thoughts? Panabax
  3. I know this post is dated, but is the 14" barrel still for sale? Also, I would also klike to know the manufacturer of the rail forend in the picture above. Thanks Panabax
