Well I made it to the range and fired about 50 slugs throught it. The handguards worked well and had no issues. I haven't had a chance to start working on a new design yet, work keeps getting in the way 😢. I will post when I have a update. Edit: I haven't ordered a Unity Tactical Hot Button yet but looking at them online it looks like it would be very easy to add it to the handguard. I was thinking of maybe flush mounting it and having a cable channel. Could someone post a picture of the backside of the button straight on with a dime or penny sitting in the center of it so I can reference the size. The thickness of the plate would be helpful as well.

Thanks for the feed back. I will look more into changing the design. I got some ideas to do away with the screws so they can be striped off in the field without a screw driver. That pressure switch looks pretty awesome. I may pick one up and a new light and look at adding it into the design. I will look and see if I can find a online diagram of it so I can start tinkering.

It's a similar clamshell design the machine screws just secure the two halves from separating on the bottom joint. The oem handguards have a indent and groove along the lip of the bottom. I tried this way on another design that was thinner and I didn't like how thin the the material ended up and how much flex was in the handguards. It seemed like a easy spot for layer separation or cracking so I made the outer wall thicker and added the screws. I can do away with the screws and use a peg on one side and hole on the other where the screws are at now.

I have not fired it yet. I just got it finished a few days ago and I haven't had a chance to go to the range yet.

Wanted to share a 2 parts I have been working on for the M4. I designed these and printed them in Nylon Carbon Fiber PA12-CF. I am still tweaking the design and looking for some feedback. They install the same as the factory handguards but do have 2 m3 socket cap screws that secure the 2 halves together using heat inserts. The flashlight mount is for a Fenix PD35 Tac but can be sized for any light.
