FFT on my shotgun

Good guy gonna return them.

[JTs M4]

hopefully they don't all look like that.. 

[Djack69]

I know they are not cheap$$

This is why I use OEM Benelli handguards and let Tango Arms stipple them. I know they are made of an application-tested material, and I know they will fit correctly. The USMC tested the everloving hell out of the XM1014. I trust they got the handguard material dialed in.

Agreed,won't be using these for 922r!

Where’s the quality control? They should’ve paid you to take those.

Never seen a set all warped like that one. Every set I have ever fit for people needed a lot of fitting to get them to seat correctly. Quite a bit of material must be removed from the front of the grips to allow the barrel seat ring to sit correctly.

I've  purchased two sets from FFT and both sets fit perfect straight out of the box. But how that set made it out the door is nuts.

[Djack69]

Wondered the same,thought it was just me until I compared them to the OEM's.

Hmmm... not surprising to me. My opinion of FFT stuff is that generally, the stuff they put out is "almost...but, not quite." 

That's the best I can describe my opinion of their stuff. I had their hand guards and I had an NP3 7 round tube of theirs.

How come you say that? Just curious. I was thinking of buying an NP3 tube and putting it aside for when I can afford an H20.

I have the 7 round tube an 3 position folding stick tube,no problems.

That’s good to know!

Stock I meant to say

[Diesel79]

Those are pretty sad.  I have a set that although have a bend to them, they at least are straight when installed.  
 

I had to file quite a bit off the receiver end of mine to get them to fit right.

How did those even get shipped?

Been following this thread since the start but, what the he!!  does that mean? 

[JTs M4]

Hmmm. after 13 years you would think they could make them fit properly .. sounds like a lot of them have to be made to fit by the unlucky buyers !

Deal with I meant

[12508]

So did they come from FFT or were they drop shipped from the manufacturer?
If the came from FFT they should've at least inspected them before shipping.
