jimbo45 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 It looks good but would be a no go for me if those screws are necessary for installation and not just looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 The screws probably hold the mounting boss in place beneath the aluminum extrusion handguard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm2376 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Has anyone used this handguard? I am torn between this ant the Briley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznwhip Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Yup. I actually bought both to see which I'd like best. For my hands, I prefer the Agency over the Briley. Fit and finish are perfect for both though and you can't go wrong with either. There are a couple secondary accessory fitment differences though from a compatibility standpoint.... If you get the Agency, you won't be able to use the Briley CF mag tube and the IWC front Multi light mount won't allow any lights as the top handguard rain extends over the mount. Traded out my CF mag tube for OEM 7+1 and just kept the IWC for the sling and added an Arisaka mlok scout to mount my surefire instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually just ordered the Briley CF mag tube, so i guess it is a deal breaker. I did like the look of the Agency Arms.....now I guess I need to decide if I want the 8 or 13" Briley!

gm2376 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 this is good know...would not even have thought to look for that. How was the weight? Di the CF mag offset the weight of the handguard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznwhip Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Agency handguard weighs less than Briley. Ideally I wanted to run the lighter weight handguard with the lighter weight CF tube, but not meant to be. Felt weight wise, Briley handguard +CF tube about equal to Agency handguard + OEM tube. I'll eventually get the CC titanium tube though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[email protected] Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) The screws are titanium and I am wondering, if they can be blued like that, can also likely be blackened? I have done it with stainless screws before and waiting for this to come back into stock somewhere.

You could probably just mask the titanium screws with a sharpie or a drop of plastidip. 29 minutes ago, sniiped said: does the agency work with the carrier comp ti tube? Yes.

PashaF Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 It appears that the Agency Arms handguard is out of stock everywhere, unfortunately. Spent quite some time this evening searching for one to no avail... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bulge portion of the mag tube screws into the receiver. The picture on the left above appears to be the muzzle end of the foregrip. With the mag tube installed with the reinforced (bulge) end against the receiver, does that prevent you from installing the A/A mounting bracket on the receiver end? My OEM, FFT, CC and Nordic Comp mag tubes all have a reinforced end. Then again, I could be AFU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the tube bulge is receiver end. Really you'd mainly run into issues if you use something like the Briley CF tube as there's a very minor lip bridging the CF to metal material transition.

I think AA handguard is the best looking on the market. In addition, there are videos how to install it, unlike Briley's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo45 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I got an Agency forend finally. First I have to say the packaging and handguard itself are exceptional. The forend feels really really good in the hand. My issue is you seem to have to remove all the screws to get the pistons which is pretty shitty in my opinion. It looks good and feels good but I might just go back to my Hayl rail for ease of maintenance. Of course how often do you really need to anything to the pistons.

I've been waiting forever for it. If you don't want yours, I'll take it Edited March 22, 2021 by PashaF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
