My build is an Armalite AR10 7.62, not the more typical DPMS pattern 308AR. As you may know parts for the Aramlite can be difficult to come by. Not so via Apex. They had the "Gator Grip" built specifically for the Armalite (as well as many other AR platform weapons). My Apex hand guard kit was shipped immediately and it is a perfect fit to my Armalite.
These folks know what they are doing! That alone, for me, is a rare pleasure. I have too often been disappointed by supposed bolt on accessories. My Apex "Gator Grip" hand guard is truly bolt on and as tight and solid in feel as can be. Also need to add that the feel of the "Gator Grip" texture alone is worth the price of admission. Great feel in hand, solid yet light weight.
This was my first Apex floating hand guard system but will not be my only one.

I finally found it. A good quality, light hand guard without quad rails. Light, feels nice in hand. Well worth the money. Looks great on my gun!!
Thanks Guys!

This is a great handguard. It's lightweight, modular (I only have to add the rails I want), seems strong (I haven't abused it) , and the grip is nice (positive gripping surface without being harsh on bare hands). The machining is exceptionally well done. It fits my Armalite AR-10 perfectly and allows me to retain the factory gas block. Is it more expensive than some competitive products? Sure. But I don't own an armorer's tool or receiver vice blocks, so once you factor in the tool cost, it's right there for value. Besides you certainly get what you pay for with this product. I also appreciated not having to remove the barrel nut.
With this handguard installed, I now have a great precision semi-auto rifle. If you're on the fence, buy it. You won't be disappointed.
