I am a Zev fanboy. I have every attachment that Zev sells and have put it on a variety of different Glocks. When I saw Zev started selling completed rifles and rifle products? Ooooo I was excited. I have an F1 Firearms upper/lower and thought this handgaurd would be a good addition to the build – and I was right! This thing is sick. Reminds me of the Zev Dragonfly handgun slide, it’s “ported” and can see the barrel really well through the windows so if you’re trying to show off your barrel this is a great hand guard. I’m regards to how slim it is, I am 6’1” with medium to big hands, and I can fully wrap my hand around the hand guard and while wrapping my hand around it, I can touch all my fingers with my thumb besides my pinky. Installation took 20ish minutes, really quick and simple. Highly recommend.

I needed a long, rigid handguard for a 20" rifle build. After comparing various options, I settled on the Zev 16.6" wedge lock handguard and am extremely happy with it. There are only two improvements I'd suggest: incorporate a steel QD stud like on Triarc wedge lock rails, and make it out of 7075 aluminum instead of 6061 for even more rigidity. Overall, I'm definitely happy with this handguard and highly recommend it.

This is the first Zev product I have purchased but I can say it wont be the last. Fit and finish are perfect,the wedge system had me hesitant at first but it is extreamly solid. The wrench you get for the install most company's seem to use a soft aluminum one that holds up for a 1 time use, not Zev the wrench is made to do some work.All in all I will be buying from Zev again.

I wish i was able to use this on my 6.5 grendel build but the BSF barrel and Bleedoff gasblock i am using was a little too big to fit under it. The package that the handguard was shipped in did not contain a barrel nut wrench. I saw someone else mention this fact but i thought that it was just a lemon. turns out it is true.

Good product. The rail has great fit and finish and is very lightweight. Locks up very tight to your upper receiver. I gave it 4 stars because I wish zev tech would have kept the original materials the rail was made of when it was made by mega. If I’m not mistaken it originally had a titanium barrel nut where the current one is steel and the body of the rail was made of 7075 t6 aluminum whereas the new one is 6061 t6 aluminum. I’m not an engineer so I’m not sure if it honestly makes a difference unless you absolutely abuse the rail. We’ll see how it holds up over time. The wedge lock system seems robust while allowing the profile of the rail to remain very slim. Be aware of accessory placement on this rail because it it is so slim that it could cause interference around the gas block. Overall it’s a great product and I would recommend it.

I bought the upper receiver awhile ago beause it was reasonably priced and ZEV has never let me down with my glock parts, so I figures their AR pats would be just as good, to be fair the handguard is beautiful nice finish, looks great. but expensive compared to the uppper receiver, I think i got the upper receiver for $120ish and the handguards are 250-300. First the first the handguard could barely fit the barrel (Ballistic Advantage Premium series) in it, with oil, I still had to tap it down with a nylon hammer. then you stick this tiny rod right above the gas hole so the receiver and guard dont twist. then you have to turn this screw at the bottom, to tighten the wedge lock which takes forever, then you put these two TINY screws in it also, you could be looking right at them and not see them they are so small.come up with a different locking system, and make it a little bit cheaper. second make it a standard way to tighten the barrel nut, and not have to have a special tool, they include it, but its just another tool to lose.besides that it looks great after you finally get it together,
