utg pro ar15 7 in. super slim free float handguard review

In 2009, we made an important decision to start our Made-In-the-USA Manufacturing Operation. I was a Troy fanboy (2 Alpha's and 2 VTAC's), but if I want a slim line rail, I'll be building on this from now on. If you notice, you can see 'UTG' products advertised and a different line of 'UTG Pro' stuff.īottom line for me: I just ordered a 7' for $85 shipped for my 10.5' upper.

Solid as a rock.Ĥ The rail is threaded at the slots for attachment of the external rail sections. Very solid lock-up via 6 allen screws through the rail into the barrel nut.

It may not be compatible with any re-designed, oversized upper receiver.I just installed a 13' over a 16' carbine-gas barrel last week, and had a chance to shoot it over the weekend. Also, the quad rail system works with standard AR-15 upper receiver. The compatibility with any special piston system is not guaranteed.

NOTE: This quad rail system is designed to fit with standard AR15 gas tube.
