The M-Lok system allows users to customize the handguard with rail sections and direct mount accessories. The handguard is constructed of aircraft grade aluminum and finished with a Mil-Spec type III hard coat black anodizing.
MATERIAL: HARD COAT ANODIZED/CERAKOTED ALUMINUM HANDGUARD, ALUMINUM BARREL NUT
I used this in a lightweight 308 build. The handguard itself is great, I love the design and the profile. I put this on an Aero M5 upper, and because this is a DPMS low and not a DPMS high, the pic rail lines up just a hair lower than the pic rail on the top of the receiver. That is fine, it absolutely does not hurt a thing, and if you are using a real scope with scope rings, the front ring will completely cover that.
The other totally top shelf amazing thing about the same guard, is the weight. It is just a hair over 9 oz, hardware and all. I'm not aware of any other aluminum/standard ish AR-10 handguards out there that get under the 10 oz mark. The 15-in version of the same card is just a whisker over 10 oz.
Anyway, I am absolutely thrilled. The price was right, I like the design, and I love the lightweight. I'm thinking very seriously about ordering a couple of these while they are on good sale just to have handy for future builds.
Also note, that if you're using a DPMS low receiver, which I think is most of them out there besides the Aero, this should line up perfectly.

Quality far exceeds price.
This is my 2nd one of these Handguards. As the title states, these are a bargain. They rival any other at 4x the price. The machining is perfect, the anodizing is thick and it just looks good on the rifle. RTB is one of the best out there. They ship fast and have a ton of products. You won’t be disappointed with these guys.
perfect fit and not a single blemish on it.
definitely recommend.

Almost perfect
Handguard seems well made, is very light and machining and anodizing is flawless. The only issue is the pic rail height. Where it meets my Aero upper the height of the pic rail is slightly short. It looks like a dpms low pattern as it does not line up perfectly. It will be covered by the scope so not a big deal to me but just know it it will not be perfect. RTB is a fantastic business and I love their products and service. I do think this detail needs to be added to the product description.

awesome
Right to Bear is my new go-to for great priced goodies. The handguard was exactly what I needed for my 8.6blk build. My barrel is 12" and the handguard looks killer with the Tromix brake poking out of the end. Great price for this free float and great quality too.
