Horrible 29/12/2017
Just finished installing this total piece of junk on a buddy's gun. The wrench they give you is a joke and you have to buy a special gas tube or mess with bending the existing one. I have install many many handguards and this is the WORST one I have ever used.
Lucky if you get one that fits 20/02/2016
Typically, you would think Hogue makes some solid, comfortable products. Well, this one is quite solid. So solid it won't fit. If you look at the instructions, it'll say you should note the alignment of the gas tube port on the upper receiver with one of the many available gas tube holes around the barrel nut when hand tightened, then tighten it to the next hole, which is anywhere from 1/2 of a notch to a notch and a half. Well, I was lucky enough to score myself on the halfway mark. I lubed up the sucker quite copiously. I then hand tightened it to line up perfect with one of the holes on the barrel nut. Of course, that's not going to fly (or will it just fly off?), so I took out the supplied wrench and noticed it won't fit. It's not the right size. The 2" end of the wrench is too small. The 2 1/8" side is too big. OK, great. Fortunately I have a strap wrench handy. I'll take that and tighten it. Well... that didn't work either. I got halfway there, muscled it, and now I feel Hogue owes me a new strap wrench because I tore mine up. Despite my best efforts, the gas tube won't go in because the hole is completely misaligned. How Hogue expects you to tighten it a whole notch, let alone one and a half, is beyond me.
Bottom line: this is a piece of junk. You'll notice in another review of a similar Hogue hand guard that the reviewer suffered a similar issue. Clearly I'm not the only one. I typically don't write scathing reviews, but I feel like I have to put out a PSA on this for humankind. So here goes: If you are a decent human being, do not buy this product.
