the most cost effective drop in quad rail, it replaced my springfield saint ar15 handguard, I have the mid length system and it fits perfectly, installation is very easy, way easier than popping off your OEM handguard. over all it has very good quality. the extended picatinny rail over delta ring connects the rail on upper receiver perfectly and M lok is also precise too.

A while back I went from the standard AR fore end to a quad-rail fore end in order to 6 o'clock mount a Streamlight on my BCM carbine. While the light was in the perfect spot, after the first day on the range I hated that pig; the edges were blade-sharp, the other rails were unnecessary, and the rail covers were so bulky they made the fore end feel like you were holding a 2-liter soda bottle.I looked at the Troy, BCM and other brand name fore ends, and wasn't too thrilled about the price. I'm not strictly a brand-buyer (You know, one of those dudes who wants the brand-name logo in place so when he slides his gun out of the case at the range he lives for others oohing and ahhing over their shiny new toy, then they have a fit when their $2,500 rig gets a scuff on it), nor am I an eternally 5-11/Underarmor clad "Tactical Ted; the You Tube range god" who grew a crappy beard and dolls up in 'operator' chest rigs, an 'operator' helmet, an 'operator' balaclava, and 'operator' skivvies while reaching orgasmic states viewing the latest Panteao or V-Tac video production; I'm just a guy with 26+ years in LE/11 years+ SWAT-SRT who has tools that are used, not abused, and doesn't want to spend a bunch on fluff.I saw this fore end for 40 bucks, and figured I would give it a try. It wouldn't require a front sight/gas block change to allow for a free-floating fore end, and if it sucked I would only be out 45 bucks.Install is a snap, especially if you have a delta-ring tool for installing fore ends…if not it may take two people, one to hold the gun while the other pulls down on the ring to get the old one off and then slip the new one in. In either case it's a two minute job, tops. The allen screws went right into place (I put a drop of blue Loctite) and the rail sections were easy to take off/put on (Blue Loctite again). I used the small section under the fore end for the light, and left the large one off. Now the fore end is much easier to grip and hold for extended periods, the sharp and bulky edges of the quad rail are gone, and the light is still secured in the same 6 o'clock position I had it in before. Best of all, if I scratch and bang it up I'm not going to worry a whole lot about it.

This is a real nice handguard, very light slimline and looks sharp. It need a little modification to fit properly. Not a big issue, just a little work with a fine file on the inside to fit on the forward ring properly.

i bought both this one and the extended carbine length one. Honestly, these are exactly what i feel like i need. the only problem is that, and its been mentioned in a previous review, that the handguard does not fit firmly on the gun. it can be pulled to the rear about 2mm which does not allow it to hold zero for lasers or forward mounted optics. outside of those 2 things though this rail is perfect for a replacement for the standard round handguards.

Bought This vism m-lok hand guard for my mid length palmetto state armory AR-15 . This was the easiest hand guard I ever put on , it fit perfectly , seriously only 10 seconds it was on . It's well built and nothing cheap about this hand guard and its very affordable . I will probably buy a few more for my other AR-15 . Definitely will recommend

Fits my mid-length rifle just fine. somewhat better than what I replaced but there are some tradeoffs.Overall it feels like a sidegrade rather than an upgrade but for the price it's not terrible. I have somewhat lower standards so it works for me.Installed on a SF Saint 556(replacing the B5 handgaurd)For the "Mid-length" model( Mid-Length Model#: VMARMLM )Pros:- Very easy to install, didn't even need a handgaurd install tool. Each half just slipped/pressed into place and installed the bolts, feels rock solid. Solid enough for a light but lasers might not hold zero, YMMV.(Don't forget to apply some blue threadlocker to the bolts during install, it doesn't arrive with any applied)- Has T-slot numbers engraved on top rail and lots of M-Lok slots all around- Comes with 2 removable picatinny rail sections, one 5 slot and one 9 slot so I don't have to buy them separately- Doesn't interfere with the A2 front sight post or sling mount- Documentation states "For use with "triangle" handgaurd caps" but it worked just fine with my "Round" handgaurd cap(I think it mounted even more securely since it's so snug with the cap). But YMMV, I assume I got lucky it worked with mine.Cons:- Top picatinny rail doesn't perfectly mate with flat top receiver, there's a gap(about 2-3mm) between the handgaurd rail and the upper receiver rail. Also somewhat difficult keeping them perfectly level with each other when first installing, so some forceful clocking was needed to make sure handgaurd rail was level for the most part.- Was heavier than expecting moving from polymer handgaurd, will add noticeable weight to front end if you're worried about that.- Factory black paint is a little too easy to chip off and tends to be affected by oils/CLP/Etc., luckily aluminum under paint is anodized black, just a little glossier and not as flat black as paint on top.
