This handguard is of good quality. It fits securely between the delta ring and front sight post. It is the oval shape and not the slim round handguard I was hoping for. It is a little smaller than the fat oval handguards that come with many uppers. It has single heat shields on both halves of the handguard assembly. I Would recommend this unless you absolutely have to have the slim round handguard.

I like the handguard I can just tell it’s gonna work for my Colt AR15A4 I can’t wait to mount it! 🙂

I recently got a good deal on an Aero 20" A4 upper, however, it came with Magpul MOE handguards instead of the standard A2/A4 ones. Thinking highly of previous Israeli defense contractor purchases, I ordered these, along with the MRS-C for one of my carbines. What I got instead was plastic so thin that I can feel it flex when I push it with my thumb when its mounted. Even the PSA handguards that everyone complains about are more robust than this. I'm most likely going to return these and put the MOEs back on. Those may not look the part, but they're super comfortable and a whole lot more solid.

I ordered this set in FDE because I wanted the A2 style and to match the other furniture on my rifle, and the color matches my other Magpul furniture very well. They come with a heat shield that fits well, the two halves fit together well, and installed on the rifle the fit is very good. They are oval instead of round, but they're thinner than some of the other oval hand guards I've seen, which is a plus for me as they fit my hand perfectly when shooting offhand standing. They are good quality as would be expected from IMI, and sturdy. Being a competition marksman, I can be hard on equipment and these have held up well. They should have been more scratched up by now, but they are hard enough to resist minor scratches and gouges, at least so far. They match the other furniture very well and have a good fit on the rifle, and are sturdy. Everything I asked for, and IMI came through again.
