Just got it installed, very easy to install and looks and feels great! Very light! Haven't shot it yet but expect it to perform flawlessly.

This is by far the best handguard I have ever seen. Solid yet lightweight. Nothing comes close.

Very very good product.

Everything about this product is top notch. I bought this for my 308 and the fit and finish was as advertised. It sets rock solid, with hardly any flex.

This product is very well made and solid. Great grip but not to the point that it tears your hand up after several hundred rounds. Great product thank you

I was originally skeptical of Apex handguards because I didn't know anyone that had one, the reviews were not extremely popular on the TUBE and my pocket book was deciding for me in the end.
Well, along came my a 6.5 Creedmoor project built with a Lilja 24" SSB and Franklin upper lower billet set. I was tossing around a JP or Odin Works handguard idea but the JP and my barrel had a fitment issue and the Odin Works was a bigger diameter than I wanted.
I decided to buy two 15" #2360 handuards to get the 20% discount because I had other AR-10 ideas for the future. When the handguards showed up at my house, all I could say was WOW! The machining quality, anodized coating and silk-screening ID and logo is second to none! Not to mention the engraved markers on the pica tinny top rails that I bought also. The fitment is PERFECT!!!. The clamshell design that wraps around the stock DPMS barrel nut is exactly that! A CLAM SHELL!!! That thing will not move once it's tightened into place. WHY??? Because of machining tolerances baby!!! The handguard is outstandingly machined too and it marries perfectly to the clam shell. It looks and feels Awesome! The diameter is perfect for any size hands and was well thought out by the APEX engineers!
Thank you APEX MACHINE!

This is #5. Tougher than you might imagine. Light, good texture, attractive, (like wife). First ext. length. Looks nice, rigid, could swing empty rifle by it if it gets dicey. It's a quality piece.

Very sturdy hand guard yet light weight. Choose this over Troy cause it was lighter and easier to install. Apex is on the same level as Leopold and Smith and Wesson when it comes to taking care of the service members. Thanks for the quick shipment ,and military discount .

This is a solid and easy to install hand guard. The grip texture is great on hot days it helps hold the position. Comes bare bones so you have to order rails if you want them for a bipod or for lasers.
