This is a pretty surprising item, the finish of the handguard it pretty top notch and it definitely matches the distinctive tan of the DD MK18 handguard.
The barrel nut is a little soft for my tastes, torquing to 38 lbs showed deformation around the wrench notches. Not unusual for an aluminum nut, but I haven't seen that happen on a steel nut before.
The biggest issue I had with the handguard is the collar wasn't in spec in mine, and didn't properly line up with the gas tube port on the upper handguad. I tried to just finagle the tube in, but after that it didn't index with the gas key correctly. I decided to just file it to fit, which didn't take a lot of effort but was still disappointing.
All together it definitely looks the part, and it feels solid. This rifle is going to be more of a fun build than anything for serious use, I already have a Geissele build for that, but this is a big improvement over almost any other handguard in this price range.
Quad gang for life.
