    seems like they removed the m4 link on their website, I tried emailing them twice and haven't had any luck.  i'll try giving them a call next week if they don't get back to me.

    I spoke to Robby Baldridge <[email protected]>

    If push comes to shove, let me know if you want me to physically give him or the receptionist your info. You can just PM me.

    Its not a problem, I work literally less than 10 minutes away and its on my commute.

    haha alright, keep us posted, maybe they'll just want to swap the handguard then.  

    So I just stopped by Briley. They took care of me, as expected. I didn’t pay, and any one else dealing with the same issue should just an email. I asked, they’ll just send out an adapter

    are they free or charge or do we have to pay for them? 

    I’m not paying for them fixing their defective hand guard. Just depends on you though I guess. Not trying to be snarky, I honestly don’t understand how any company would expect you to pay in this situation. I’m not even going to install it, I’ll let them do it

  4. So I got an email back from briley. The adaptors should be in this week. They are being anodized.

    that being said, if you refer to the date of my original post, I was told the hand guards were also being anodized and would be out in a couple weeks initially. They ended up coming out weeks later. 
     

    i work with metal, it doesn’t take a couple of weeks, typically, to get something anodized. Turnaround is usually a week at the most. 
     

    I’ll keep y’all posted to see if this time they stick to the week lead time.

    This rail looks like it might have some potential. The extended length might get two cell light pretty close to the muzzle to minimize barrel shadowing. The user could then use the new Unity Tactical Hot Button mlok remote switch.

    Been actually looking at the 640DF from Surefire.

    This is a nice list. I appreciate you doing my homework haha. Definitely need to need to take a closer look at Arisaka. I have a few adaptors from them. They are rock solid and really top notch. Thanks for the input

    just got mine and installed it, looks great, i did notice a little bit of movement when twisting the hand guard.  i'll wait to see how they fix yours before emailing them.

    Im eager to see what their fix is. I completely understand there being a hiccup here and there when it comes to a new product. These folks are pretty sharp, Im sure they can help us out and will wait with enthusiasm.

    That being said, I hope they can help us before total lockdown in Houston with respect to COVID-19. Ill give them shout Monday.

    I drove by earlier this week and they were open.

    Very nice!  Who did you source that SRO cover from?

    range panda. they literally bounce a hammer on the thing in their promo video and it maintains its shape. highly recommend. I even keep it on in my pelican case

  8. So I took my M4 back to Briley. I told them my handguard was "loose" and I tightened up the screws on it. It still wiggled a little, talking maybe .0625" or less of play, so I wanted them to take a look at it since my job is right down the road. Turns out the gunsmith wants to make a "batch of adaptors" to make it completely fixed. I'm supposed to email him next week to check if they are ready. All good though, I am glad they are proactive on fixing a new product and excited to see what they can do to improve it.

    Problem is I'm pretty sure Houston is gonna be on "lockdown" by then. Hope not but we shall see.

    How does it mount to the gun?

    You mentioned you had to tighten the front screws. Do these screws make contact with the gun to help alleviate wobble?

    Does it appear that the rail is going to cause finish wear to the barrel, mag tube, or receiver, over time?

     

     

    From what I can tell it’s tightening against a sort of shim on either side of where a front sling would go. The screws don’t make contact themselves. I don’t think Briley maybe wanted to mar the screws so the just sorta hand tightened them. I tightened them and then shot a little. Stayed put. I really have to shoot a bunch to see how this thing handles it.

    looks great, would be interest in your feedback, that's the 13" model correct?

    Yes it is. It feels good. Had to tighten it a little as far as the front screws go. It’s solid though

  11. So this my M4 with the mlok handguard from briley. Also has the match trigger, a & s trigger guard, extended safety, and opened loading port.

    will post a couple more pics when I get home. I’ve got just a couple more things like a front grip

    What hand guard/forearm is that?

    I spoke to Briley since December of last year. They started production of their m4 MLOK handguard early this year. Ive been in contact with them and as of last week, they sent their first batch to get anodized. I dropped off my m4, I work right down the road from them, to get the loading port opened, switch to an A and S enhanced  trigger guard, extended safety, and get this MLOK handguard in black.
