retro handguard 02/06/2018
This thing is sharp,the edges don't line up and there is a gap down the middle where the two sides meet. The plastic is thin and cheap seems fragile. Good idea but poorly done.
Handguard fitment 13/03/2018
Bought an Delton A2 upper with carry handle, has a heavy barrel, this handguard fit perfectly with no mods. Had asked Brownells if it would fit a heavy barrel but the response was no, only I had it on for months before their response.
Then again, I didn't specify that I was putting on that particular upper.
Looks great for that earlier A1 look.
