Having the hardest time choosing between the Mesa Truckee & Briley 3-Gun M-lok handguards. Dont know if you tried the Briley one yet but your experience with the Mesa wich would you recommend? The main things I am looking for is the one that mounts the most secure & being able to field strip it without having too much trouble. Also having difficulty choosing between what length. I want to be able to mount a light & a sling QD mount as close to the end of the barrel/mag tube as possible. Not sure if I should get the longer versions of either handguard to be able to do that or if I should get the shorter one & just get one of those small rail mounts that goes onto the magazine tube for the flashlight & QD mount. Having a little switch on the handguard would be nice but its not top on the list of priorities. I dont think I would need to muck around with the switch a lot when using the shotgun. Seems easier enough to just turn it on/off at the tail cap. Not sure if the added benefits of the longer handguards outweigh the extra weight that they would add. Anyone that has used either the Mesa or Briley handguard a lot let me know your advise & opinions. Also how many of you hold the handguard where you need/want the extra space that the longer handguards offer?

Just got my M4 and for now going for the Urbino Stock because I need something with a shorter LOP & I live in California so the C-Stock isnt an option. I would prefer a non pistol grip but there isnt much to choose from for stock choices. I saw somewhere, might have been a different forum but anyone know a link or somewhere there is a post that shows someone successfully cutting down a stock butt-stock down a couple inches? Preferably with some decent pictures. Not the biggest fan of the Urbino grips angle & it doesnt look like anyone is going to be making shorter LOP stock anytime. Guessing cutting down a stock is my only option.
